Had my first cast iron accident. I cooked a bunch of onions with a bit of olive oil, then rinsed the pan off and set it back on the stove on low and ate. A little while later I smelled smoke, and it seems that some of the oil was beginning to burn. There was a thick black crust around the center, so I went and just scrubbed away all the accumulated everything with soap. Now there's still a deep black spot in the center that I couldn't easily scrub away. I gave the whole thing a coat of olive oil so it shouldn't rust for now, but should I try harder to scrub away the center and give it a proper even seasoning or just say fuckit and cook?

Didn't even notice that it looks like a hole when I posted, but I definitely can see it now.

No matter how long I look at this I can't not see a hole. Does that pan have any seasoning at all? ( I'm on my phone so maybe it's that)
I believe the center is still more or less 'seasoned', as it's pretty much the same color as the edges. I just scrubbed away most of the the normal seasoning when I removed the charred gunk.

Say gently caress it and just keep cooking.
Sounds good!

My dad's been helping a friend going through an estate, and I helped out move a couple things and got this:


Looks to be pretty great condition from what I can tell, but gonna strip and reseason it anyways. Oven cleaner in a bag is the easiest good way to go, right?

Grabbed a pretty nasty Wagner skillet at a thrift store. Can just barely make out the 'sidney' beneath a thick layer of nonsense.


Currently soaking it in lye, hopefully it'll clean up nicely!

Had to scrape a bit on the bottom, but it cleaned up nicely!
