Needs washed, but you can just heat the oil on the stove if you've seasoned the thing in the first place.
I learned from a chef that an oven would work better due to the even heat applied all over but in a pinch or if you don't want to do all that, the stove top could be fine.
That's the main reason I do an oven seasoning once a year or so. With my electric stove, it'll get the bottom ripping hot while the sides won't ever quite catch up.
In the oven I can do an even, set 450-500 and hold it there as long as I like. Then I can shut it off and let the pan cool slowly and evenly.
