You are working each layer at that hot temperature. Thin layers and immediately wipe it off and get it right into the oven again. When I say wipe it off, I mean like buff each coating off. The object is micro layers. As many as you want. I go three. Then oven off let it cool down slowly. Each time you use it wipe it clean and I mean clean. Use water if you can so as to loosen the sticky bits. Slowly heat your pan or what you are using on a burner just long enough to dry it completely. 

   There is no excuse to have a sticky oily gooey cooking vessel whatsoever. None, zilch, no way. Same thing for rust. No excuse. Your end goal is a thin carbon layer.

I love it when a guy nails it! Congrats brotha!!
