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

696 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!

When done cooking, scrape the food bits off if any, add more oil if needed, and put it back on the heat. Adjust the temp so that it is just below smoking. Leave it long enough for the oil to carbonize. After you do that enough times, you won’t even need more oil.
