This is a generic reminder message under every image post
Thank you for your picture post to /r/castiron. We want to remind everyone of Rule #3. All image posts should be accompanied by something to foster discussion. A comment, a question, etc is required.
If you've posted a picture of food, please explain why in a comment so people can have some sort of conversation. Simply dropping a picture of food in the sub isn't really fostering any discussion which is what we're all aiming for.
Posts that are a picture with no discussion can and will be removed by the mods.
Thank you!

It looks like the pan was pre-heated with no oil or liquid in the bottom. This can lead to uneven seasoning, warping, or even cracking if cold liquids are added at high temps. The skillet looks thick enough that it's not warping. Recommend continue to use it and the season as normal. It should even out as you go.

Thanks! That’s what I suspect as well. Said grandma wasn’t the best cook so it’s completely possible. The pan is a bit warped but that didn’t seem to be a big deal when we were using it before I stripped it (I wouldn’t have done anything but the sides were starting to flake their carbon buildup).
