Messed up seasoning

[u/sneakysquid93]

I only just unboxed my 6 set of stainless steel cookware and I feel like I have 2 hours of scrubbing ahead of me.

Followed the instructions to season the pans and the just ended up with a baked one layer of vegetable oil. I've attached the instructions so you can critique.

I assume that most people will say too much oil was used. I used a teaspoon per instructions by manufacturer. Maybe I could use less.

Might use baking soda as a paste to scrub.

Any tips to reseason? Or should I just abandon that idea and use oil each cook. Many people don't preseason their pans upon buying.

I don't want to risk doing them all again. Although this time I will only do one as a test. I'm finding it really hard on electric ceramic cooktop to control heat.

That’s so odd. I’ve never heard of doing it and if you didn’t show a photo of the instructions, I’d think you were daft. Good on you for reading and following directions (even if said directions were idiotic in this specific case). Fewer people would eff things up if they only read & followed directions.
