A sheet steel pan is made of 99% iron so it is a natural product. These pans must be "burned in" before first use. This is called seasoning. This is not difficult, but takes some time. Seasoning these pans creates a black layer, this layer functions as a non-stick coating.
Suppose there is kook "drama" takes place, then it is not irreparable with this pan. In the worst case, you polish the pan again and brand you put it back in. If this happens with a Teflon pan, after the kook drama, throw it away! Keep your pan well greased, otherwise sheet steel can rust easily. Sheet steel is a strong and durable material, so these pans can last a lifetime.
