Not it’s not, it also has a central “hole” that is also there with my other normal iron pan and idk if it’s a hole in the seasoning.

I just cook the steak dry since I use fat cuts like ribeye, skirt steak, roast beef and t bone, at the end of the cooking the pan is filled with grease which I throw away and clean with cooking paper and spreading a little, just a drop, flaxseed oil (I used this last time and I saw on the bottle that it can’t be used to cook since it’s biologic etc so I’ll never use it again) or even better refined corn seed oil with high smoke point.

Just a drop and that’s it, i can’t say if the smoke is the burning oil (I can smell oil when I pre heat the pan and starts to smoke) or if it’s the vaporised water/fat of the steak.

I’m scared because I have asthma and the smoke irritates my lungs...but I love meat and at least 1 times per month I have to sear a fine steak
