[quote=FBO][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted in the sausage discussion about this and I was wondering if others don't wash with soap too. I wash with soap and then dry with a towel before air drying. I know that is not what you are supposed to do but I can't bear not to wash the thing. I've had the thing for 15 years and it occasionally gets rusty but I wash the rust out then use and it's fine. Am I missing something? [/quote] In theory, the soap will penetrate the cast iron (cast = porous) and then seep into the flavor of the food. Personally, I do not use soap. Instead, if it needs to be 'cleaned' I will soak a rag with oil and use it to rub down the inside of the pan. If you are using a cast iron skillet, odds are the temp is high enough that it will burn off any bacteria etc that may be left behind. This is just me though, and other may have different opinions or procedures! :)[/quote]
