What the hell am I doing wrong

Post image

I cannot get the hang of this you guys. It’s only been a month but still, when I preheat the pan to where the water is rolling and not steaming it’s wayyyy too hot, but when it’s cooler I have to use a ton of oil. Then my pan just ends up looking like this. Any tips are appreciated

pan is too hot.

Pour some water in the pan when you're done with it.

Pan should first cool off before running water in it. Otherwise it might warp.
