"Seasoning" an Egg?
Does BGE recommend this practice? Seems like it could be a convenient way to sell an extra bag of lump.
Can't say I'm convinced that this is necessary or even beneficial. Does anyone see it otherwise?

I spilled a little beer on it when I was putting it together.

Well I have been closely following this thread and now I'm certain that I have not properly seasoned any of my 5 Eggs! So I'm going out now to break them in properly and season them all. Yes keep doing what I have been for like 9 years! So you all need to calm down and Egg On!!!!!!

Do what you want, but all the Eggs purchased at EggFests were properly seasoned cooking a ton of food. A select few are judged as Curry Eggs, having been "broken in" with an abundance of flavor.(now only 16 stone)

I wish someone would logically explain how the inside of the egg can add any good flavor to the food! I'm thinking that next time I cook some chicken I need to rub it all over the inside of the dome and get the seasoning on the chicken. Same for cast iron pans, people think it adds flavor to the food but in reality the seasoning process of cast iron is only done to make it a nonstick Surface. If you don't believe me just lick the inside of a well seasoned cast iron pan!
If the Egg needed to be seasoned the first time it's used the food would not taste as good as the tenth time!
But when I cook food at an Eggfest the people just rave about how good the food is from a non seasoned just out of the box Egg. If a seasoned Egg is better, than an Egg with a 1000 cooks would cook more flavorful food right!
Ok Sunday morning rant over! I'm going to calm down and Egg On!

That's bvllshit
just cook on it. There's no such things a seasoning an egg
gasket? Maybe. It's been known to peel off if the first thing you do is go nuclear for an extended time (like, long moderate to high heat cooks all day at an eggfest). There's film at an eggfest of a gasket peeling on a new egg
but even then, not a big deal. Just reapply and check it the bext day.
For that reason it has generally become thiught you should just do medium-high cooks, or shorter high temp cooks (like quick burgers, etc) for the first few just to make sure the gasket is ok[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -

Because i do clean burns regularly, and at temps in the 900F area, any impregnated flavor would get vaporized anyway....
-
The wood impreganation thing sounds like total BS.
I had the BGE rep at my house after an issue with an XL I bought in January. The only seasoning related comment he made was to make your first several cooks at low or medium temps. In other words, don't take it out of the box and build a 750F steak fire. -
When you lick that cast iron frying pan make sure it is smoking hot...

Oh no that would burn off the great oh so sought after seasoned taste! Medium temp would taste better!I'm only hungry when I'm awake!

Ouch!

I do BGE seasonings for free. Send yours to me, it takes about three to five years to do it perfectly, and then when it is done, I will notify you to come and get it. Just make sure it has a KAB, an AR and I will handle the rest."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber
