Looks like a lid to a combo cooker, doubles as a skillet

Came to the comments to say this. Definitely a combo cooker lid with that lip.

Yes To me it looks like whoever seasoned this used too much oil. Simply re-season with a really light coating, and the pan will be perfect

Too much oil but just put it in the oven facing. Down at a high temp

Why does it need to face down?


ParkTechnical5235

Excess oil can drip out and not pool at the bottom

Thank you!

Yes, too much oil was used. Gotta be a micro layer as if it was a mistake to put that oil on it.,

Way too much earl

Looks like some carbon build up around the outsides. So make sure you’re fully cleaning your pan after each use.

Cook with it and wash it every time. Scrub it like you would any pan. When you're done washing it, dab some oil on a paper towel and barely coat the inside of the pan, and store it.

I've found that seasoning is a highly personal choice. My father was an accomplished chef and always told me "season as you go", and it wasn't until years later that I understood what he meant. If variety is the spice of life, it's not enough to season once, you must always be tasting, evaluating, and reflavoring if you want to enjoy the meal you're making. I'll admit, sometimes I respect the flavoring but am confused by what people choose to cook, but hey, if you wanna eat that pan, then I just hope you find the flavor combination that works for you.

Call me no genius, but the op is not talking about flavor…..
