+1. No one puts soap on a cast iron skillet. even my kids know this

Cast iron skillets are so overrated. I'll never understand why people are enamored w/ those disgusting things.

I wash my cast iron with dish soap. You have to thoroughly dry it right away so it doesn’t rust. I bought it pre-seasoned and use it daily so it’s pretty much non stick by now. I don’t need to oil it.

I feel like this is a note written by future me

No one wants food made in a nasty cast iron skillet with rancid leftover oil on it.

Uh, yes they do.

Oh, sorry.

PP wants their food made in a nasty cast iron skillet with rancid leftover oil in it.

The rest of us understand that cast iron can be carefully washed with soap.

Soap is fine these days but she obviously is not up on it...so apologize. Leave the pot to her in the future.

Soap is no good.
I used soap on my very first cast iron. Had to toss it as everything tasted slightly soapy afterwards.

Lol, what? This is not a thing, unless you never learned how to rinse.

I don't know what to tell you. It was rinsed repeatedly.

I think I'm not alone in this.

Just reseason it. Ton of youtube videos out there how to do it. But one soap wash isn’t going to ruin it. That’s nuts.

Someone posted this on DCUM for another cast iron thread. Premise is southerners take their cast iron very seriously! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B5tqE293T_8&pp=ygUZQ2FzdCBpcm9uIHNvdXRoZXJuIHBhcm9keQ%3D%3D

^^ Back in the day...

Back in the lye was an inredient in dish soap, so that's where the "no soap" thing comes from. It's not an issue anymore. I use soap every time I clean my cast iron and it's perfectly fine. I just scrambled eggs in it this morning; completely non-stick.

I wash/scrub with soap and water. Put it on a low burner on the stove until completely dry, and then I dab a few drops of avocado oil on a paper towel and wipe the inside of the pan to give it a very light coat. I've never had a problem and have been doing this for years.

Use olive oil and fInger paint it around the pan (avoid using any scratchy cloths or utensils on it). It should be good to go. Treat it like a baby or favorite car.
