No, I don't care about the fact that it has rivets. Just want your opinion in whether you'd use it or not.
Is this carbon steel pan still any good?

Already covered, you meme gargling cartoon posting fucking homosexual
scrub aggressively and re-season
This. It's fine.
Why even bother though? Those ridges are retarded and it's like a half wok so it's base is tiny.
Sure you can re season any carbon steel pan but this one is trash imo.
It will get the job done. I have a similar "wok" and it's served me well for many years. Just used it to make lo mai gai last night. Don't even notice the ridges. Us home cooks can't all have 6 gorillion BTU jet burners and top-of-the-line cookware in our kitchens.
Just take the cap off the stove burner and you can have a big flame on a regular stove
>Sure you can re season any carbon steel pan but this one is trash imo.
reduce/reuse/recycle. list it online for free and then leave it outside when you have someone coming to pick it up. the last thing we need is more people buying more shit from china
>reuse
That's why I'm keeping the pan
What would you say if I said it was already aggressively scrubbed?
It's fine. Just season it to help keep the rust at bay and you'll be fine.
I mean, what happens if you wat rust?
Eat

Do you buy new pans or just cook in your dogshit old ones?
This
It's fine. A rubber hammer will take care of that deformation.
What happens if I little rust gets in your food?
It'll taste bad.
Will it make you sick?
Like how bad is it compared to Teflon and coating flakes?
It's iron. Oxidized elemental iron. Literal iron oxide, the same thing they put in iron pills for anemics. I think you'll be fine.
Based knowers
It's just iron oxide. You'd have to eat a hell of a lot of it to get sick.
Just refinish it with some ghee or snoybeen oil
My carbon steel wok will kind of look like that after awhile when I don't use it and this is all that needs be done to put it back in service.

Simple as.
Carbon steel and cast iron can both be washed or rinsed and then simply heated and oiled and it'll be fine. Don't worry about a little rust, as long as it's not excessive, you'll be fine, and it won't impact the taste of the food.
