Topic	Whats the best way to clean a cast iron skillet?
TheBlueMonk_ 03/25/21 10:18:47 AM #25:	mattymad posted... Anyone saying "never use soap" is just parroting the 'usual' advice without having any experience, pretending to be an expert. You glaze a cast iron, often by coating it in an even layer of oil and then baking it. You repeat this a few times to build up a nice non-stick layer basically. Heavy scrubbing and soap can remove this layer, which is why it's often said, "Don't use soap or scrub too hard!" This is the general advice, as usually warm water and a damp cloth/towel is enough to clean it (always clean your pan straight after using it) - so why ruin your glaze for no reason. However... If a pan is **ed through misuse or just sometimes a certain recipe sticks more than you thought. There is nothing wrong using soap or scrubbing, it just means you'll have reglaze it, which you can do over the course of a day pretty idlily. huh? have you ever done it? i scraped mine down to the shiny iron under and it took months for it to naturally come back via just cooking. TC unless you wanna sit there and bake your skillet in the oven for 3-5 hours at 400 degrees, dont listen to this dude. --- Park Minyoung NOONA <3 https://imgur.com/F5yuHSF <cite>TheBlueMonk_ posted [p:952096500] in Whats the ...
