without touching soap and water 🤔
In: 72
I rinse mine out with warm water and scrub lightly with a chainmail scrubber. If something is really stuck (rare), I’ll add a dash of soap. Then I put it on the stove top to evaporate the water, add a very thin layer of oil and let that go until it’s faintly whisping off the surface, then kill the heat and let it cool down on its own. Back into the cabinet and we’re ready to go. My understanding of the “no soap” thing is that old soap contained lye that would absolutely ruin your seasoning almost on contact, but modern soap doesn’t have that. Putting it in the dishwasher is bad still because the water is hotter and the detergent is stronger, but sink-warm water and Dawn for a minute won’t hurt it.
