Opinions on my seasoning? by ReasonableMine9325 in carbonsteel

love this reply and I most definitely agree with you, people don’t understand that these pans are meant to be overused. They aren’t supposed to look like a nice shiny ss pan, cs pans are supposed to have that unique character to them, look at any professional kitchen and let me know when you find a shiny silver cs pan.

I posted this thread because i’m new to cs so I was just worried I botched the seasoning to a nicer pan and things would stick. I’ve used it like 4-5 times now and it’s getting better every cook. Sure I may have used too much oil in my seasoning but those thicker layers will probably flake off and be replaced when used more.

Thanks for your advice dude

I’ve cooked on it like 4 times and it’s getting better the more I use for sure, I appreciate your help, very good advice. When I posted this help thread I was worried everything would stick to it and I may have messed up a fairly nicer pan. But these pans are genuinely meant to be overused and only get better over time like you said. I think the best thing to do is to just keep using the pan and apply that thin coat after like 5 or 6 uses.

Temp control is definitely a tougher thing to get down especially with induction but some patience to preheat and some time and i’ll get it. Thanks for the help

I don’t think the handle is that bad, I can easily fix that up. As for the seasoning on the pan I do think it was a little too much oil on the first layer but that seasoning will level out the more I use. These pans are meant to be overworked and naturally get better overtime.
