I rarely cook steak. As this was Christmas gift for husband and me, I prepared to try new skillet. FORGOT to check bottom of steak for plastic absorbent layer so it went in skillet with steak. Was there about 3minutes when I noticed. Removed steak. Melted material came out with nonmetallic scrapper, wipe out clean, completed steak with no bad taste, no scrapes to skillet, perfect (and easy ) clean up.  Thanks
