/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i just used my pre-seasoned lodge for the first time and the bacon and eggs stuck to it
and then when cleaning off the stuck food with a sponge and soap, i think i started to strip the pre-seasoning in certain areas, you can see where the surface is matte vs shiny with seasoning
and then those stripped areas immediately (less than 5 minutes since it touched water) started turning orange

what the fuck am i doing wrong

bad pic but you get the idea
