    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.

      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

        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.

          Lol I’m not religious about it or anything, but it’s porous unlike other cooking materials, so yeah, I don’t put soap on it
