Age and use I think is the way to go Jack.

Useing it as a baking pan for roasts in your home oven help a lot and wash it gently. One of mine is 20 years old and the seasoning on the pot part is still a bit dodgey...the lid is good.

With the spun steel type, do you actually season them or as do you just go for it and the seasoning builds up over time.
Used as a baking tray as SBB says sounds like the way to go. Some of my baking trays are well seasoned. ;D ;D

Jack. mine has a good black coating as does the spun steel wok and paella pans, I put them in a moderate BBQ with lid and keep re-applying spray oil, for a couple of hours, seems to work.

I have had my oven for many years, I cooked a tomato dish in it the last time I used it and lost some of the seasoning, I think it will come good with more use.

I can't remember my Bedouries being new (bought in '85 from O'Donohues, Boulia from memory). Years of use and abuse have made them what they are today, damn fine ovens.

Theres a potential problem, I'm sure the instructions clearly state 'remove wire handle following purchase and use a set of multigrips instead.
