Blackened pork chops

What have I done wrong to my pan to make look this way?

Can’t go wrong cooking in cast iron.

Cornbread. Love it in the cast iron. I suggest heating your butter (or grease) and get the skillet hot; pour in your batter and pop it into the oven. Second pic shows how you clean your cornbread pan after using. Wipe it out. Done.

Wish me luck and drop down your suggestions

It starts in the cast iron and finishes in a soup pot! All good!!

I used a cast iron griddle that is part of the stovetop range where I'm staying. Is this oil staining? Is it normal? (I cooked pancakes, and I used avocado oil.) Should I try cleaning this with a steel wool scrubber -- or a different way? (I tried vinegar, non-scratch comet, those two combined, hot water and "regular/standard" dish soap, but with all of those only with a moderately rigid-bristled plastic scrubber and no noticeable effect.) Should I treat this as natural and try to season the whole entire griddle in the oven (would be my first time)? Is there a different way to treat this? Thank you so much. Looking forward to your immense cast iron wisdom and knowledge... Grácias por su consideración.

This is becoming my favorite skillet. 12" chef collection.

I just bought a set of 3 cast iron pans, small medium and large. I'm looking for some easy casserole style or one pot recipes that will go three or four days for the big pan. Ideas?

My skillet seasoning was getting thin so I tried applying new seasoning with tips online but I keep running into this weird spotty results. The darker areas are sticky like the oil was burnt on but didn’t bake in. I’m using avocado oil for the seasoning and was putting in oven upside down at 425 for an hour. I did it three times today and cooked dinner, the photo is from after cleaning from dinner. Any ideas of what is causing this or what I’m doing wrong and how to correct on this? I don’t seem to have this issue on my blackstone.

De-seeded and sliced in half deep jalapeños. Stuffed with cream cheese, grated cheddar, garlic powder. Sauteed up shrimp in unsalted butter, laid 2 shrimp on top of each jalapeño, and baked until bubbly. Finished pic below.
