without touching soap and water 🤔
In: 72
I know your body says without soap and water, but they get cleaned with soap and water.
The myth comes from the time that people would make soap at home out of animal fat and lye. If some of the lye didn’t bond with the fat in such a way to become soap, then it would react with the season and destroy it. Nowadays that risk is nonexistent as modern dish detergents and soaps do not contain free lye.
Wash your cast iron, heat it on the stove to evaporate any surface moisture. Add a *very* thin layer of oil to protect from oxidation/corrosion/etc. I have restored more than 40 cast iron pieces over the years and if I could tell anyone anything it’s that you should clean your skillet with soap. It’s going to work better and your food is going to taste better.
