Yes pretty much. They come coated with flax oil which you have to remove with hot soapy water. Once that’s done it’s a case of heating up some oil and allowing it to cool. Some people will do that by putting them in an oven but I just do it on the hob. It’s really easy and after the first coat I've not had any thing stick. I just wipe the pans out after use an apply a little more oil each time. Over time the seasoning builds up and the pan gradually turns black. I’ve found them to be really easy to live with.
