Wrecked my seasoning by using pan to cook food

Well I followed all the steps and made a beautiful even seasoning base on the pan. Unfortunately after actually using the pan the seasoning came off in spots. Ultimately I won’t be able to hang this pan on the wall as art anymore and will be relegated to only cooking duties. /s

I’ve realized the seasoning does next to nothing for the non stick properties of the pan and have learned the proper heat and lots of fat is the key to happiness. The seasoning just does it what it does and when I stopped caring about it, nothing changed. So I will echo the general advice to all newcomers to carbon steel pans, stop caring about the seasoning and cook with the darn thing. The seasoning obsession is borderline autistic at times lol.
