Hi, I have a De buyer carbon steel frying pan. I’m still seasoning it as I use.
I’ve been using it to cook all sorts of dishes and I love the result. However sadly, tonight was my saddest night of cleaning.
After dinner I rinsed the pan and normally dry it on the stove. The heat will evaporate the water. On most days I just let the heat from the stove dry the pan completely then lightly oil it before storing it. At times, I’d use Scott disposable kitchen towels to wipe any remaining water off the pan before oiling it. Tonight, instead of the disposable, I grabbed the cotton kitchen cloth to wipe off specks of water.
As the pan is extremely hot, material from the kitchen cloth got stuck to the pan. The kitchen cloth has some sort of rabbit design on it which is made of rubber. That rubber, along with the lint from the cloth, was singed and stuck to the bottom of my pan.
Though the pan was not well seasoned yet, but it’s truly non stick and served me well.
My desperate plea for help here is - has anyone ever encountered such incident and able to remove the burnt on cloth on my pan? Or does anyone have any idea how I can remove that cloth burn on my pan?
Was thinking of scrubbing with steel pad/wool.
Appreciate your wise input and experience.
