Stevens cast iron skillet

Hiya, I just got one of these for my birthday (they were on special last week for $79.95 and my one is bright red) and I have to say, the surface looks non stick already. Do I need to cure it like instructions on the internet advise to? I am about to season and cure it after scrubbing it, but the last thing I want to do is ruin the pan. There were no instructions included and it weighs a good 4kg. Please advise if I should go ahead with the oven treatment or use as is..

You can season on the stove element just oil it with your usual cooking oil or fat and then heat til smoking cool and rinse clean then repeat and start cooking you will find its adequately non stick to start but just gets better and better with use. Just wash with hot water and scourer never use detergents or soaps.

If I were you, I would be visiting Stevens and asking them. It MAY also be matt black enameled inside which means you do NOT season it.

If you heat an enamelled cast iron pan till it's smoking you are going to be in big trouble and more than likely will be replacing the pan.

Wouldn't it be a challenge if someone could do a program on TV.focusing on those on a limited budget who maybe have very little cooking skills.
Maybeideas for basic ingredients in the pantry, utensils, pots and pans.
Show the sequence of how to do things, such as making your own hamburgers. What to make with left overs.
Some people on here make up to three different meals from a chicken,I bet there would be a lot of small households that this would be of enormous interest.
A presenter that walks the walk, doesn't work or talk too fast and able to adapt quickly to feed back from the viewers.

I stand corrected I read it as cast Iron rather than enamelled. Just googgled it to check theres lots of advice on the net.

What I want to know though is how can you cook a steak in a pan you can't take up to smoking hot?

If you want to cook a steak in an enamelled pan, you wont need it smoking hot. As you know, cast iron holds heat very well. I can sear beef very well in my enamelled cast iron casserole over a med/low heat before placing it in the oven. The other option, of course, would be to get an ordinary cast iron pan ( pre-seasoned is easier) specifically for steaks.
