isn't the so called seasoning just the brown shit on the bottom of the stainless pots that you couldn't clean off if you tried... or used barkeepers friend and scrubbed for 30min per square inch? I had cast iron once and I oiled and baked it a couple times then just washed it with dish soap like everything else and put it on the burner's residual heat and had seemingly nk problems. Then somehow my mom made it fully coated in rust one day and I have no idea what she did

I cleaned a cast iron pan over the weekend. "Oven cleaner" the voices on YouTube said. In reality I needed an angle grinder and it took me the better part of 3 hours to do. My pan had some kind of matt black factory "seasoning" that was definitely not just oil and it took that long to chip it all off. Anyway pan is back in action now.
