Not OP but I believe OP is showing this as a bad thing. Mom has been incorrectly cleaning the pan so the patina is all gone. The patina is part of what makes cast iron so good to cook with and takes a lot of time or some effort to build up. So it’s sort of like getting something nice and trashing it.
