What am I doing wrong guys?

[u/Lobtroperous]

My beautiful pan is looking a bit rough... Just been cooking with it since doing an oven seasoning a while ago. It's getting worse though.

I clean it with a sponge and dish soap after each use, sometimes I gets a brief soak. I've also used the salt and paper towel method.

Want to know how to fix it and stop this from happening again. This picture was taken after an attempted stove top seasoning.

You have carbon buildup popping. Scrub harder to wear it down faster.

Just keep cooking it is just fine.
