Dished/warped with initial seasoning
"I followed all the instructions out of the box (bag) and proceeded with knifewear’s suggested seasoning workflow with their seasoning stick. I didn’t put it on the stove at all right out of the bag because the manufacturer has instructions to stress relieve it upon first receiving it. These are a bit ambiguous because it says 200-250 degrees in the oven but that is ambiguous because it doesn’t say F or C. I played it extremely safe and heated it to 225F first and let it sit a bit then heated it to 205C and let it sit a bit then went to 250C since this is close to what is needed for seasoning it anyway. I seasoned it as normal but did so upside down as recommended on the seasoning stick. The seasoning turned out beautifully after 4 rounds but when i went to put it on the stove i noticed it was not very flat and rocked. After one cooking session tonight with it the seasoning on the handle side where the pan stays nice and hot is in good condition but the cold side of the pan that doesn’t touch is already deteriorating. The warp is also pretty extreme. Easily 5mm on the cold side"
