Question

without touching soap and water 🤔

Answer 1

I usually wipe my own down thoroughly after use and re wipe in some oil after to repair the seasoning

And every couple uses (maybe like 5) I will give it a good scrub (not intense) and then toss it in the oven to dry and then re season

It doesn’t rust and it keeps that seasoning flavour aspect. I only use mine for cooking a few things like steaks in the winter but I do swear by it’s value for the few things I do cook in it
