You can wash a cast iron pan with soap and water. And frequently do.

Don’t believe internet myths. A correctly seasoned cast iron pan is not going to wash off. Even if it did wash off, it would be meaningless. As continual use of a cast iron pan seasons it.

My grandmother never baked her cast iron pan with grapeseed oil. monitoring it regular intervals, blah, blah.

She cooked bacon, steak, pork chops, chicken & biscuits in that thing every fucking day. And she washed it with soap & water.

The soap myth comes from when soap had a lot of lye in it. That’s not really the case for decades.

These YouTube videos and food blogs don’t even know why they are advising this or that – just copying misinformation from one to the other.
