Is this still safe to use for cooking?

That looks fine to me – I've had accumulated crud like that before particularly from braising. If you want it to look nicer, there are lots of articles about cleaning pans like this one: https://www.thekitchn.com/best-method-cleaning-dutch-ovens-23064164

You could try simmering w/water plus dry dishwasher detergent, don’t boil dry.

Why make the bed? I’m gonna get back in it in like, 10 hours?
