Hello, I thought I’d seek for guidance on here. We got this a few years ago. Before I used it, I made sure to check what NOT to do when cleaning cast iron skillets. Prior to that, I saw/read/heard you shouldn’t wash and scrub them with soap and water. Anyway.. I just used water and a paper towel to “scrub” out the caked food particles, and yet it ended up looking like this. I take it this is already ruined?

PS. That brown spot towards the bottom right is because I just haven’t cleaned it properly yet after cooking. I wanted to see if it looked “better” from the last time I used it.
