so i was using a non-stick pan to cook but i fucked it up and it started flaking so i switched to an unseasoned cast iron pan. which is working fine but then i have to clean a lot of stuff off the bottom every time. should i season it? anyone have strong opinions about how?

actually i might be being mega dumb so just to double check: is this even cast iron? it’s not a cast iron skillet i guess. is it a cast iron wok???

Looks like it’s carbon steel and it’s already been seasoned

hmm doesn’t feel seasoned to me based on how much things stick but i guess i’m not well-calibrated 😅
Are you heating it then adding fat then cooking? Or adding cold food to cold pan?
I cook lmost exclusively with cast iron + carbon steel. This is carbon steel and it doesn’t look very seasoned.
My fav way to season is to get it hot, put some oil + salt + potato peels or tortilla and cook this stirring until carbs are black and the pan darkened. Use vent fan
