I've found a happy place with dumping scalding water in while it's still hot and scraping the fuck out of it with one of those old school flippers.
Finally the results I've always wanted. I'm not changing a thing. My cold dead pans.. or whatever. |

This is why iron skillets suck and you should just use non stick pans for easy cleanup.

Most pour to much water into the pan. It is best to pour only enough to cause instant boil and steam release. Once you have the steam and boiling action use a flat steel spatula to scrap it clean. I find if you follow up with a paper towel under the spatula as you scrap it comes fairly clean.

Quoted: Heresy. You don't use soap on cast iron. View Quote I stripped and re-seasoned mine with flax seed oil. I've run them through the dishwasher on occasion and it's frigging fine.

I suppose it would be good for restoring cast iron cookware. If for daily clean up, seems overkill.

Love my enameled cast iron. Soak, hot water, green scrub pad, dishwasher (or by hand with soap and a brush).
Perfectly clean |

Add some boiling water, hit it with chain mail scrubber dry, coat with oil.

I just put water in it while hot and dump it. Then rub the pan with salt till clean. Lightly heat up to fry any water off the pan.
|

I scrub mine with coarse salt and then rinse it off. You don't have to sanitize the damn thing, it gets to 400+ degrees the next time you use it.

If you can't rinse it out with hot water and a brush, you're doing something seriously wrong. Either seasoning is junk or you just don't know how to cook in them.
Dinner tonight used 2 cast iron (a modern lodge about 10 years old, and a vintage large logo Griswold almost 100ish years old), and a Carbon Steel Matfer pan that's only 5 years old. Everything from sausage patties, sausage links, hashbrowns, onions, green peppers, garlic, to steak, eggs over easy, and scrambled eggs for the kids. They all were rinsed with water, a few rubs with the sink brush, dry, oil, done. Took MAYBE 2 minutes per pan. Far less than a dishwasher takes. Slightly more than hand washing a teflon, but talk to me in 20 years(hell 5 years) about how many times you've replaced that teflon pan while mine are still cooking daily. |

Quoted: Grapeseed oil works amazingly well too. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Flax seed oil is nuts, I just re-seasoned both my cast iron skillets with it. I'm liking the results so far. Grapeseed oil works amazingly well too. Grapeseed is better. Quoted: This is the best way to clean cast iron. The Ringer No soap required, and it leaves the seasoning. If I start using the cast iron more I'm going to get one of those, it seems like a great solution. |

I have my Mothers old skillet. She made it to 88 years old and used this all her life. Soap and water and yes a good scrubbing every now and then with a SOS pad.
Put in the oven to dry after washing and bacon grease wiped in it. Its so smooth inside like its been sanded and polished. |

Quoted: This is why iron skillets suck and you should just use non stick pans for easy cleanup. View Quote Eggs slide around in my cast iron skillet. It is non stick if you use the right temperature to cook. Sugary stuff will stick, but like others said, a little hot water and a spatula pulls it right up. |

I think cast iron threads have more fucking derp than any other threads.
Hint: cooking with and cleaning cast iron isn’t voodoo. |
