First pic is today, second is original finish. Oven seasoned it twice when I got it. Have used it every day since, sometimes twice or three times.

Some things like bacon, hamburgers, chicken breasts etc would occasionally strip off a bit of seasoning and leave a few lighter areas. On those rare occasions I’d do a stovetop seasoning round after I washed and dried it.

Now though, the seasoning layer seems to be great. None of those foods really leave a lasting mark now, and I can cook acidic sauces (sweet and sour, pomodoro pasta sauce) with no problem. Very happy with it and couldn’t recommend this British brand highly enough.

I’m trying to clean up this skillet to use. Just curious if this looks ok? needs more scrubbing to get smoother? In need of some general tips please. TIA!

Alright Brits in the USA! Bit of a shameless plug here but here it goes!

I’m originally from Manchester and now live in Arizona, and I’ve just launched a little spice company called Captain’s Spice Co.

The first seasoning is basically my take on that proper British Chinese takeaway salt & pepper flavour that I’ve missed since moving over here. Think salt & pepper chips, wings, ribs, chicken, shrimp etc.

I’ve spent ages messing around with the recipe and forcing friends and family to taste test about 400 versions of it but it’s finally bottled and ready to go.

It’s made and packed here in Arizona and I can ship anywhere in the US.

If anyone fancies giving it a try I have it listed on ebay and our online store will be up and running on Friday!

Would genuinely love to hear what other Brits think of it, especially if you’re also someone who misses a decent Chinese takeaway over here 😂🇬🇧🇺🇸

So my gf decided to use the griddle that came with the new stove to make pancakes today for the little guys first day of kindergarten (cute, I know). However, I thought you had to season it beforehand. The picture attached is what happened after.

What exactly happened? What steps can we take to repair this? What should we do next time to prevent this from happening?

I appreciate y’all.
