Ceramic? Stainless steel? What should I get? I’m getting a lot of mixed answers and “AI” bullshit from trying to research it myself.

    You don’t even need to go that far ime — if it’s just a bit damaged you can season right over the top. If it’s flakey (which is probably because you over-seasoned it in the first place) scrubbing it back with a wire scourer is enough. There are people on the internet who take it all the way back to bare metal with electrolysis, but there’s just no need imo

      The flaking is usually because you didn’t clean it hard enough and you ended up building a layer of seasoning over some carbonized shit in the pan. Once you realize how tough cast iron is it gets even easier to take care of.
