i keep getting this burnt shit on my carbon steel pan when sauteing. needs to be scraped off.
too high temp? too low temp? too much mixing? not enough mixing? i've been sauteing vegetables.

this will happen to any kind of pan. Wash your dishes, simple as.

So scrape it off.

I stopped giving a fuck about the seasoning on my carbon steel. It's uneven as fuck and parts of it get stripped almost every time I cook with it, but as long as those spots even have the thinnest layer to keep it from rusting I don't care. I have no problem using soap and water to get grimy bits off, and I nuke the whole thing with vinegar every few months.

youre burning off seasoning so ill hazard a guess it's bad heat control

>season this shit
>it is not smooth
>throw it in cabinet
>sports of rust
>season it again
>not use it for weeks, again
>rust again
this shit is so pointless, another youtube meme to buy

so scrape it off then retard
carbon steel pans are stupid anyway. if you want something heavy, get cast iron, and use stainless steel for everything else
