Hello all. We already have two BSR skillets. One 7 Red Mountain and a #10. Both of these are super smooth and a joy to cook on. The #10 shows mill marks. The other day my son found a rusty MADE IN USA #8. We removed the rust using 50/50 vinegar and water soak (3 days). Before that, we used Easy Off oven cleaner to strip off the old seasoning. We ended up with a bare metal pan. When we first got it we noticed it was not smooth like the other two. Hoping that stipping and cleaning it up would reveal another smooth cooking surface. That was not to be. I did a little research and found that the newer 80s/90s BSRs were not milled. So enough background.
My question to the community is, should we sand it down to make it smoother? I don't want a mirror finish, but we would like a nice smooth surface. I've oven-seasoned it only twice using grape seed oil. We're not collectors; we want to cook with it. What do you all think? Thanks in advance.
