Yes, I didn't say it above, but the best thing you can do, maintenance-wise, is just use the pan. Anything that makes that harder (requiring unusual ingredients, making cleaning harder) is a net negative. Anything that makes it easier (having oil at hand, soap and sponge to clean it) makes it better.
