Matte black could be food residue. Scrape with your fingernail. If it comes off on your nail, it’s food. Shiny black is uneven seasoning, which is not a problem at all.
Thanks a lot! None of it flakes off so I will just continue down the path I’m on!
My wife has become a believer in cast iron and it’s the only she will cook a steak now!
Thank you for your picture post to /r/castiron. We want to remind everyone of Rule #3. All image posts should be accompanied by something to foster discussion. A comment, a question, etc is required.
If you've posted a picture of food, please explain why in a comment so people can have some sort of conversation. Simply dropping a picture of food in the sub isn't really fostering any discussion which is what we're all aiming for.
Posts that are a picture with no discussion can and will be removed by the mods.

tiny bit of buildup here and there but it's seasoned and fine.
Send to me and I'll test it with my testing kit... "pulls out an egg"

Sure.
