Patty the black is likely because you are using an oil in it that hasn’t been heated properly to really make the right seasoning. It probably just came to you that way. Washing it won’t likely get it fixed–you’ll probably have to partially sand it down and re season it with the right oil on the proper heat so it stops that. –Rachel

What can I do?

Becca I season the outside the first time (before I use it) and then I honestly never do that part again. It sort of seasons itself over time with grease that splatters out and it gets super hot from the burner if that makes any sense at all. Since you aren’t cooking on that surface, I worry a lot less about it. –Rachel

Vegetable oil will work just fine Vanessa.

Ah well do the same thing, minus the boiling water part. Just scrub the heck out of it with steel wool until it comes off. Rinse it,dry it, coat it in some shortening and bake it as directed in the seasoning directions. It will work!

It’s crusty on the outside, should have made that clear sorry
