Used Le Creuset Frying Pan - Do I need to season it again?

I have been given a very lovely, secondhand Le Creuset frying pan. It's fantabulous - massive and has a glass lid.

BUT, on my first use, everything seemed to get stuck to the bottom of the damn thing.

Does that mean I need to re-season it, and if so how? Haven't been able to afford good pans for many years, but have a dim, vague memory of having to brush stuff with oil & then leave in a very low oven for a while. Would that work? Or not??

Of course, I could also be just a shit cook!!

Not had Le Creuset but my DBro raves about his .

The previous owner might have scrubbed it before they recycled (or they might not have seasoned it so everything stuck for them too Xmas Smile )
I think handwashing is essential too (another reason a Le Cr has never entered my house !)
I do season my stoneware pans , very light oil brush and on a low heat till it smokes for 30 minutes I think.
Then cool down, wipe with paper towel .
You need to stay near it and put the extractor on.

But well worth a try .
