Pans need to be actively seasoned, they won't develop it on their own.

You cover the pan with a fat, overheat it, and the fat polymerizes : https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-season-cast-iron-pans-ski...

Heck, I've done it on aluminum pans and eggs are fine, just like old-school breakfast spots and their griddles.

On fresh pans, my rule is to only cook bacon in it for the first couple of uses. Works fantastic and you end up with a bunch of bacon :D
