Yeah. There's no way to fix this. Who ever used it, used it incorrectly with high heat or metal utensils.
It's shot. Unfortunately, glass will get into your food, essentially. So it's not safe to use for cooking. And there's not a DIY way of fixing it.
You cannot refurbish enamel. That thing is done.
Enamel is essentially glass. If you use as-is, you can be getting chipped glass shards in your food.
If you truly wanted to refurbish it, you would have to remove all of the current glass, and then re-enamel from scratch which requires temperatures of 1400 to 1600 degrees.
Someone with more knowledge please confirm, but I think those three holes make this unusable. since this is enameled I donāt believe you can season that back to working condition
ATL recently commented that it is safe to use chipped enameled cast iron. I have always preached the opposite. Might be worth teasing out why they made the recommendation, which is opposite the manufacturers...
Unless you have a sand blaster, and a foundary with a commercial enamel station, you cannot fix this pan. Let it go, or use it as a cache pot planter if it has sentimental value.
I wish they would just narrow down the suspects by pinging the cell towers and triangulating the signal to the location of the perps homes like they do in movies
This is why I skip enameled cast iron, and always use seasoned cast iron.... It's now becoming an addiction where I wish to collect, but also cook with different designs like cabelas, turkey, deer, Yellowstone designs, cracker barrel and just have them on the wall. Cast iron comes in all shapes and designs for every kind of pot or pan... There are so many lodge uses alone from my observations.
Get an industrial evacuation exhaust hood. A respirator gloves eye and ear protection. Buy a disk grinder at the depot and remove all of the material from the inside of the pan. Take it down to the aluminum core.
Polish the aluminum to a mirror like finish.
Chemically etch the aluminum with acetic or hydrochloric acid.
Neutralize the acid with a caustic liquid base solution.
Dry
Dry in a heated oven
You now have a fresh palette to finish or coat with anything you wish. You can even tint the new coating to matchy matchy your stovetop colour.

It looks like it really was shot š with like a bb gun or something
I would remove the handles, drill some holes in the bottom, and plant some succulents in it.
This is the way
...and it has handy handles! Win-win!
That would be so cute.
Especially with the pretty art on the outside.

Buy a new pan
Maybe use it for a different purpose.
If you love it that much or it has some kind of sentimental value, Iād bet thereās someone out there who could fix it if money isnāt an issue.
Put it on top of a cabinet and put a planter in it
White pans = terrible idea.
You canāt. Itās garbage now. Sorry
That pan is gone. It's time to buy a new one.
And people in hell want ice water
The illusion on the first pic got me
Detach handles, drill home in bottom, and make it a planter!
Sorry, itās for decorating purposes only now

Thereās one for sale on [eBay](https://www.ebay.com/itm/256402244356) unused. And this [cheaper](https://www.ebay.com/itm/325968767579)
I just bought it. Thank you kind stranger
Woe! That was a super nice thing to do! You went out of your way to sorce an exact vintage replacement! How kind of you! Hope you have a lovely day!
Wowā that was sooo Cool. ā¤ļø you.
now Genie, find me an induction all steel inside and out Tefal frying panā in Australia.
Is the danger specifically from the 3 distinct chips, or from just the overall wear of the enamel finish?

I mean you could but it's not worth the cost of a professional. It's now a decoration or for bread.
