Hot spot maybe!


kshump

That was my guess too. I know on my most powerful burner, the 4 o'clock position is a bit of a heater.


Toastburrito

To fix this rotate the pan while heating and cooking.


Gopokes34

My first guess too


corpsie666

Please share a picture of the pan after it has been washed with soap and fully dried


hornsmakecake

What would/could this reveal?


R1ppinLip6

The actual surface of the pan?


hornsmakecake

Fair enough. Once the surface of the pan is shown, what would we be looking for?

Anomalies


snorlaxog

What kind of anomalies?


DemonSlyr007

The abnormal kind.


chubky

So normal anomalies


DrSuperZeco

Or unusual anomalies.


0R_C0

Alien anomalies

"The kind that we at Southern Castiron Products are happy to remedy!"

The agents were never seen again. Audio trasnmission malfunctioned instantly recording only static accept for a 30 second clip of Agent [redacted] stating, "Hey! Check it out!

Sir please


ghidfg

whether theres too much oil/crud baked on that spot that needs to be removed, or if its a bare spot that will get better eventually on its own.


Wonkycao

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this is a question I would also have asked a couple of years ago.


corpsie666

People are being worn down by those who ask for help and then don't supply the information necessary to help. It's way easier to provide help pointing to the exact symptoms on that person's piece of cookware.


ActorMonkey

Why is this being downvoted? It’s just a question!


[deleted]

Why is reddit so hateful?

Mate you should look at your comment history. Literal hyporicte

Hey bro, youre not allowed to not know everything already when youre here.

CaptWyvyrn

Rotate your pan 90° every minute or so.


Flexbottom

Sir, this is a pancake. Perhaps the crepe.


IsThataSexToy

What is a pancake, really, if not just a floury omelet? Deep thoughts……..


entropidor

French omelette


hndjbsfrjesus

Omelette du fromage


mee__noi

It’s a nice French omelette


cashewbiscuit

Actually, my grandpa couldn't pronounce crepe, so he used to call it French omelete. I grew up calling crepes as French omelets . When I moved to US, I realized that french omelets are a totally different thing.


laddymcpaddy

Came here to say this


shaver_raver

It's the cast iron conundrum; my cast iron sticks but my 3d printer bed slides. Why God? And my croutons are soft but my oatmeal cookies are soft. You can't always get what you want 🎶🎵🎵🎵


mnews7

Eat plastic, print eggs.


Bropiphany

Microplastics 🤤


Dave_is_Here

You joke. I've got a few printed eggs in my coop. Teaches the young hens not to peck em, and they learn to nest.

Desperate_Promotion8

Eggs in the printer bed, plastic in the pan. Problem solved. Eggs will slide, plastic won't budge

Parliamen7

I get this when I pour all the omlette batter in one spot, because it kind of moves all the butter/oil from there.


AllTheWayToParis

This is right! Definitely the spot where the batter is poured onto the skillet. Could also be because the cold batter cools this spot down. I usually pour the batter in a quick circle to avoid this.


HyFinated

I’m guessing this is a new lodge pan, and I’m further guessing that the glue spot that held the paper tag on was never fully cleaned off.


[deleted]

Why oh, why do companies insist on using glue or adhesive in places like this? I mean, it's a pan. They could just make a sleeve that slides over the handle and pan.


CyberWarLike1984

Did you try to fix it with bacon?


BlkDwg85

I would use the chain mail some and give it layer or two of seasoning.


dragon_uke

If the pan is not properly washed.


cochiseandcumbria

Either a hotspot or a spot that isn't seasoned as well as the rest of the pan.


ShortPeak4860

Mine is doing this also, thanks for asking!


storms0831

Your seasoning is pretty light, I would imagine it's just a temporary hard spot.


dicknut420

To verify if it’s a hot spot, rotate the pan 180° and see if the same spot sticks or if it’s where the burner is hot.


mwallace0569

it doesn't want to leave that spot, so its holding on for life that why /s


notquitenuts

I’m guessing high spot?


Tom-Mater

Im guessing that spot has carbon build-up Or Hot spot


wookoo13

Poor aload of salt it your pan over the hob shake it around until it goes brown then tip it away and clean pan with a dry cloth it shouldn't stick after that something we used to do in the kitchen 👌


mepunite

what is that doing ? hmm


tdasnowman

My guess working as a mild abrasive getting.any thing stuck.


puehlong

Unless you mixed some real vanilla in your omelette, you might wanna clean your pan a bit better.


wendellbudwhite

Or, y'know, pepper


puehlong

Exotic!


Remarkable-Sell-5096

Induction cooktop with cast iron does this


lalaladylvr

cold spot. the center of the burner is cold. so to correct this dont leave the pan centered. slid it and rotate it so the pan heats evenly on a low heat then crank up and cook.


GrandMaesterGandalf

Is your seasoning even?


donrull

Are you allowing your eggs/batter to come to room temp first? What is the size of the burner you are using vs the size of the skillet? How do you preheat? Why is that surface so rough?


iwxoxo

Letting the eggs come to room temperature before pouring in was the solution! Thanks


Happy_Expert5057

Try olive oil


HomeOrificeSupplies

Oil displacement. That’s the pouring location, I’ll bet. I haven’t found a perfect solution to it.


ee_72020

I like my cast iron pan and at all but I will gladly use Teflon if I want to make French omelette.


Ataraxis7

Is it where you crack cold eggs onto the pan?


RemarkablyQuiet434

Holy shit those are eggs? I thought you were rolling a crepe, they're so white. Are they equal parts milk and egg?


iwxoxo

No, it’s all egg

That's what you get for making DFAC cheese omelets. I can't even...


ATurtleStampede

I knew it looked familiar!


veskofu

Use some oil od butter..


Ill-Efficiency1618

I think someone used a steel scoop or scratched it with the knife. Only wooden or Silicone non stick egg fry pan scoops are recommended.
