Answer 1

People get very precious about this, a major benefit of cast iron is how incredibly durable and resilient it is. You’re re-seasoning and sterilizing every time you cook, and the whole point of seasoning is that food doesn’t stick to it. Scrub it out with a brush and some water after cooking, while it’s hot, and it’s clean.
