is this some kind of carbon steel meme pan?
they have to be seasoned and treated by experience cooks/hands
absolutely everything a newbie cook does is very bad for iron and non-stainless cookware

I have a 10 year old mafter bourget that has sit in a Tupperware box in the back of my pickup for over 5 years. It's almost immaculate.

Newfags don't know this but if you heat up your pans again after you wash them (to dry them off) you also kill any remaining GERMS on them

My de buyer won't hold a seasoning. I seasoned it twice in the oven and then with the potato peel and salt method. It became brown and spotty but running a steel spatula over it creates silver scratches and scraping off burned bits leaves bare steel.
I have several cast iron pans and never had that problem there.

Use primarily butter and pork fat, never had it rust. Why are you not drying it after water is around it?

>use cast-iron pan instead
>scour clean every time with a petroleum-based bristle sponge + strong dish-soap + fucking hot water by-hand in kitchen sink separately from other dirty-dishes, give a quick rinse & thoroughly-dry via towel + airdry
>do not give a fuck about the seasoning-meme
>add miniscule layer of neutral high-test cooking-oil to pan prior to using (aka sunflower/peanut oil or something & distribute evenly with a paper-towel piece
>add enough high-test oil immediately prior to adding food in a heated pan to cook whatever you're cooking, no need to rely on the seasoning-meme
>repeatI've owned my 2 cast-iron pans for about 4 years & they are perfectly clean, have no rust on them etc etc by doing above....the whole pan seasoning thing is honestly a meme outside of maybe an outdoor-survival scenario lol

The trick for me has been just knowing how to clean cast ironYou never wash it really, just scrape up any burnt on bits and toss in the trash, and get it hot and pour water on it, the vigorous boiling will pick shit up, then you evaporate the water off on heatNever put it in the dishwasher, never use soap, I haven't had any issue say frying tomatoes but you should still use a little bit of oil when cooking, it is definitely better than stainless steel but might not be as nonstick as a new teflon pan but it's better for you

Just get a non-stick and throw it away after a year when the surface starts peeling.

can't you just eat the rust flakes for dietary iron?
