Katherine Wallace :

OK. so wash your damn pans....WITH SOAP and scrubbies...the whole soap thing stopped being valid when the harshest dish liquid became more mild than the most mild of soaps...in like the 60s....Seasoning your pan is key cuz if seasoned properly they're better than any non stick you've ever run across...has the best flavor IMO and mine are 6 generations old still looking brand new

Makayla | SAHM of 3 :

Totally a no to most people but I wash with soap and water then turn a burner on and dry it out and let it cool and add oil and wipe with a paper towel

PatriotsUnite :

When I was in Costa Rica they used a dishwasher paste, like Axion with a nylon scrubber. That’s all I use now

Kristy Dishmon, NTP :

You don’t have to avoid soap, that was only back in the olden days when soap was made with lye. Warm water, a pan scraper to get the stuck bits off, then a sponge with soap. Pop it back on the stove to dry. Once it’s cooled add a little oil and rub it in.

Omnibar :

What are you trying to do anyway?

BeserkerWitch :

if you're using a lot of oil start using oil solidifies to harden it and make it easier to toss. For normal grease, just rehear the pan so the oil is liquid and easier to stop up or pour off (not into your sink). Then like everyone else is saying, just clean the rest with soap and water. also I dedicated one dish brush to ONLY cleaning cast iron. Save your other dishes.

liz dalgetty :

Yes don’t listen to the haters I use soap. Also get these scrapers. They are the SHITTT

Lauren :

I deep clean with baking soda and white vinegar then wash a be rinse with dish soap. It literally lifts anything out of cast iron.

✨Coreyannder✨ :

the grocery store sells the sponges wrapped in chain link

Torii Ann :

I cover the entire bottom with salt and then add some warm water to make a scrub. Scrub it out rinse it then oil it.

Susan :

I wash it wit soap and water and put a very light coat of crisco on it afterwards. We’ve done it this way since my great-great-grandmother.

AuroraLeigh32 :

chainmail "washcloth", salt. keep pans REALLY well oiled and much less sticks.

Brett Cullinan :

PLeATHERMØUTH 🔻 :

soap, water, and a scrubby like every other pan lol

lila🇵🇸 :

you can use soap! there used to be lye soap which is what ruined cast irons, but that’s not an issue anymore!

RayneyKnights💋 :

lol 😂 I’m in the alternative to teflon group too only I have bad adhd and I ruin cast iron EVERY TIME so I have to do stainless steel but they aren’t easy to cook with…. I’ve given up on pancakes or French toast 🤭😭

Alicia De Roo :

coarse salt, cover, wait a little, wipe with paper towel..

Food Parables :

clean immediately and 99% of the time its rinses right out. if it doesnt, boil water in it. ive never spent more than 60 seconds cleaning mine and I use it 30 plus times a week

Kristina🌹 :

😂😂😂 you're not wrong

p7355one :

Hot water and a scrubbing chain.

eloquentredneck :

soap and steel wool coated w copper. the copper is antimicrobial and keeps the steel wool scrubby from getting funky

Jace Little :

Stainless steel pans are the better option

JeffroV4184 :

I have always just used Mortons Rock/Course Salt with a Stainless Scouring Pad… after im done I will put the pan on the burner and dry it and drop a little oil on it and rub it into the pan. I can’t say I ever used soap…

Rachel | Hydrangea & Home :

I use soap and a scrubby brush…but I also dry it immediately and then coat with a little canola oil.

eelizabeth94 :

you can use soap to degrease after wiping excess oil out but to get really hard stuff off you should use coarse salt and a sponge.
