Here is a short video of my pan... new, 1/2 hour finishing increments, and after each seasoning to final.  You can see there are lots of holes that cannot be sanded out without thinning the bottom too much.  I'll fry some eggs on it in the morning.

It's smooth, except for all of the little tiny holes....

Loki. That looks great. I think you'll be pleased how that turns out in few weeks/months.  :tup:

Well... it sucked this morning!  I only got to eat about half my eggs as the rest was stuck like concrete to the pan.   :(  It does look nice.  Scraped it out, oiled and heated it.  Hopefully, it won't take too long to burn some carbon into all those pox.

I've got a line on a 14" that has a little wobble that I might check on, they said they have a couple other flat large ones.

Just keep at it! My new Lodge was the same way,after about a month it's great. I season with Crisco for what it's worth?
400 degrees for an hour and then just let them cool in the oven. Usually over night.

If you put em in the woodstove on a bed of hot coals its great!  I seasoned my old new one after some person though it was good idea to wash/soak in Dawn.  It was glowing orange.  Seasoned up real well.  Becareful.  Ov glove isn't good enough.  3-5 pot holders and the Glove gives ya about 5 seconds max to grab it.  It hasn't needed season since.  Years now.  Metal spatula and use gets the smooth finish...
MAGA!  Again..

Should have probably gotten some Crisco, used Canola oil. This was three wipe downs at 350 and two hours at 500. I just need to get those holes filled in.

Not enough oil?

Heat too high?

I know on my glass top stove, I have to do this for eggs:

1.  Preheat the pan for 10 minutes.  TEN minutes
2.  Make sure the heat is not higher than 3 on the dial.
3.  Once preheated for 10 minutes, add a teaspoon of clarified bacon fat though, any fat will do
4.  Once fat is melted, add eggs

If you don't do it like that, try it like that and see if it works

Some of the best money I've ever spent.  I've heated my cast iron to HUNDREDS of degrees and I have never felt heat through this glove

Eat some hash and eggs for a while. Let the canned hash cook and fill in all the nooks and crannies. That is my families weekend go to. It won't take long, but perfect eggs right out the gate may require some more seasoning.

Found this one yesterday at Goodwill in Redmond. Really smooth bottom and about 8 inches across the top. I've got it in an oven cleaning cycle now.

There are three other pans with the raised ridged there as well if anyone is looking, one large round, one square/rectangular, and a smaller round or maybe oval one.

No idea, not even sure if there is a number on it. It is perfectly flat with no heat rings or anything on bottom.
