So I've purchased an Industry5 saute pan and a Proline skillet. These have an interior lining of "Silvinox" treated stainless. There's a few things in the Industry5 pamphlet that make me think that maybe it is intended to be used without season. Is that right? What have other owners done?

While I don't own any of those lines, I do have a lot of other Demeyere pans and have used those lines as well. I've never seasoned any of them, and they perform beautifully and clean up easily.

You never season a pan with stainless interior.

With respect, virtually all pans benefit from some "seasoning". I put that word in in quotes because what it is differs from lining to lining and texture to texture. In my experience, tin, silver, aluminum, SS, even enamel all benefit. I would treat Silvinox the same as aluminum or non-sprayed SS--liberally oil, heat to just below the smoke point of your oil/fat, let cool, and wipe out without washing. Ideally, just wipe out or salt-scrub thereafter, in homage to Chef Stanish and other great omeleteers.

I have Viking cookware. I believe it is made by Demeyere. It came with instructions to season it. I seasoned all the pans prior to their first use.
