I picked up this Vollrath [?] #8 at a yard sale. I just pulled it out of the lye bath and it has a strange line around the rim. It was caked with carbon and I'm surprised it all came off in 2 days. The cooking surface is nice and smooth and clean. No pits, just a few utensil marks.
Anyone verify it's a Vollrath (the 8 on bottom faces 9 o'clock) and more importantly, does anyone know what this is around the rim? It's smooth like it's totally down to the bare metal. Not residual crud.
