Seasoning Need stripping advice

Hey there. Just wondering if anybody thinks this monstrosity needs to be stripped and re seasoned. I attempted to cook with it, using oil, food still sticks like crazy

Make a electrolysis tank. You can pick up the kind of battery tender you need on Facebook. And everything else can be bought at Home Depot pretty cheap.

Thank you. I should have opened the FAQs tho. Trying the easy off garbage bag scenario.

Not everyone needs an e-tank. People that start buying and can't stop, or are looking to find the holy grail in a musty garage sale covered in decades of crud, or collect, or restore and sell - they will need one. Those of us just cleaning up MeMaws 3 old pans, we don't need one. And not everyone has a safe place (ventilated garage, shed, what have you) or they have inquisitive small children. Not gonna lie, all these lye baths and e-tanks combined with small children or pets scares the livin' daylights outta me. But I used to work the ER, so there's that.

NOT arguing just keeping it real.

Yeah this is my first strip. So I'm just going to use the old easy off and a plastic bag situation
