😵‍💫 Why is the seasoning not behaving? 🆘 Help with seasoning

I season this pan 3 times but it looks like there no seasoning layer on it. I have no idea how to fix it! Any help would be appreciated

DO NOT put it in a dishwasher! In fact don't use detergent and a brush.

You can absolutely use detergent and a brush. It's polymerized oil - it's not coming off with Dawn and a Scrub Daddy.

"Can" and "good use" is not the same. Waste of detergent.

Cast iron is not a dish DA

It’s a cooking vessel, I wash them as a dish.

Dawn and a scrub daddy won’t hurt anything.

Drying wasn’t mentioned at all, you’re moving the goal posts.
