I wash my cast iron with normal dish soap and steel wool, and if I'm too lazy, I put it in the dishwasher. I've been doing this for 20 years. I don't "season" it. It's a pan, no more, no less. The main advantage is that you don't need to worry about scratching the shit out of it.

Needs a tiny little bit more fat than a non-stick if you want to make an omelette.

Same here, though i don't use steel wool and i do season it every now and then
The pan handles it like a champ

I know you're a troll but the idea of cooking on a dish soap infused cast iron is filthy lol

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm not a troll. But the amount of magical thinking around cast iron amuses me to no end.

"dish soap infused" lol. Tell me, are your kitchen knives "infused" with soap, too?

Yeah he's a panoisseur. I wash mine with soap too lol. But I use the lemon scented shit so my soap infused food is always citrusy fresh.

Yeah, soap doesn't hurt a fucking thing, If I just cooked with a seed oil or bacon or something I'd be inclined just to let it burn off, But if I cooked noodles or pasta or garlic or anything fragrant on there, I'd soap and scrub the piss out of it. I just make sure to throw it back on the fire and get it past 212 if it's been wet.
