Regarding The Chip In The Finish Of The Product: It Is A Result Of Seasoning The Pan In Production. The Cookware Is Hanging As It Rides On A Conveyer Through The Seasoning Process. As It Rides Through The Seasoning Tunnel, An Electrostatic Sprayer Applies A Natural Vegetable Oil Seasoning To The Pan. As It The Pan Passes Through The Seasoning Ovens, The Seasoning Oil Can Sometimes Collect Into A Small Bubble At The Lowest Point Of The Pan And As Its Heated In The Seasoning Ovens, That Bubble Can Develop A Baked-Like Surface. That Surface Can Sometimes Flake And Reveal A Brownish Color Beneath. The Brownish Color Is Not Rust But Caramelized Seasoning Baked Onto The Iron Itself And Disappears With Use. It Is Inherent In The Seasoning Process And Not A Defect.
