I think it's baked on oil, but I don't know for sure. I have some inbound. I'll post after I hold them in my hands.

cool source craig, I didn't know about this place.        

In my neck of the woods its all about a pizza style that is also pan cooked, and has that awesome charred cheese on the edge like a detroit style pizza.   Most of the pre seasoned pans sold around here have a coating sprayed on them by the manufacturer.  Its not like most teflon non stick coatings, and they call it "pre seasoned" not "non stick" which they also sell.     Its a semi permanent coating that sort of freaks me out.   Im not sure what it is, but its almost seems like a harder than typical neoprene coating.  Its not ceramic.   Whatever it is, I would obviously prefer a baked on coating of oil or shortening.  

Do you know how these pans are pre seasoned?  

Scott,  maybe I can teach you something for once  hahaha,  the burnt edges thing is most def SAUCE!  last time I was at town spa the locals told me and no doubt they were right!  Seriously,  just sauce to the edge right up onto the pan then bake.   The flavor of burnt sauce is silly!  -Marc

Indeed. I showed this technique a while back on a Chi-town thin and stated how ya have to sorta man handle the edge to free it from the pan....but boy is it worth it, silly good crispies.  ;)

That would make L&B's pies better, IMO. I didn't particularly care for the relatively large rim with no cheese or sauce.
I love pigs. They convert vegetables into bacon.

That's why when I go there I always ask for middle slices  ;D

Scott, they are blued steel with what appears to be a baked-on oil seasoning.
