Okay, that explains a lot. With my having no experience with the carbon steel pans, I had no way of knowing that. And I have been known to let pans soak overnight before so I wasn't saying you were doing anything wrong if you did that, I just was trying to figure out how they were rusting. I do oil my cast iron after each use, it doesn't take me long to do that. I didn't know you had to do that with carbon steel, though.
Your pan (above) looks great to me!
Thanks! I'm proud of it. It can also be used to cook other things as well! It's almost like having another 5-qt Dutch oven!
