– Are you supposed to wash cast iron pans or not?

720 viewsOther

I have tried to figure this out on my own but throughout all the reading I have done, it seems like I keep finding conflicting answers or the instructions they give are unclear… Am I supposed to just wipe out the pan after cooking with a paper towel, am I supposed to use water, or am I supposed to lightly wipe it out with soap & water and rinse? Thank you in advance!

I use a little bit of soap every time and it’s fine.

1) Scrub with mainly water and a little bit of soap. If necessary, use a plastic scraper to help get some stuff off.

2) heat very hot until all the water evaporates.

3) Turn off heat and add a minimal amount of neutral oil (I use avacado), just enough to cover the entire surface of the pan.
