well it looks like it has a sticky coating on the bottom of the pain already.. seems this sticky coating of sugar has formed over the tiny pieces of rust.. question is should i clean it, season it and then use it right away or should I just continue using as is because of the sugar forming? If cleaning is the best course what do i use.. was thinking of taking a piece of steel wool or is that too abrasive?? can't imagine anything else less abrasive would work well... thx guys
