You wont use that pan for everyday cooking till you ruin it and bring it back to life. Look up videos on how to strip, sand and re-season. You will basically take a new pan and put 50 years of wear on it in a few hours, using power tools and sand paper.
You will probably hate me if you take this advice, but you will thank me later. The problem with the new pans is they aren't smooth, the casting bumps on the bottom makes everything want to stick. If you do this, do it outside, the factory coating will get on everything, and be prepared for dirt boogers. Either that or keep it for steaks and burgers and use Teflon on everything else.
