Its already seasoned.
Heat that shit up and crack an egg into it.

It does not come seasoned. Season like cast iron a few times. Use it like cast iron. They are excellent for searing meat.

I'm glad someone made a thread actually because I've been meaning to ask:

I live in South East England, and I've been looking to get myself a frying pan for shit like cooking eggs, searing steaks, that sort of thing. How well does carbon steel work for that And better yet, where would I find a bloody cast iron? I've seen one cast iron pan available in the places I can think of going to, and it's enamel coated, so I don't know if I'd even get the main benefits of using cast iron

Carbon steel is very similar to cast iron in cooking ability and limitations. For eggs look into a decent quality non stick pan, perfect eggs every time with just a bit of oil. Ikea have several good options, and tefal make some good ones too.

Cast iron can be found cheap on ebay. But if you have a good carbon steel pan i wouldn't bother with it, unless you plan to use it in the oven as well as on the stove. The shorter handle on most cast iron makes this easier.

i bought one of these 6 months ago and left it in the cupboard and its severely rusted, how do i repair it?

Removing the rust normally helps

Look around village op shops?
Follow old people home and rob their kitchen?
