How To Clean A Cast Iron Skillet

[CourtneyCoulson]

I just cook at an insanely high heat with lots of oil, wash it like a normal pan, it's fine. It's actually more non-stick now than ever.

[KeyserTheRedBeard]

phenomenal video Insider Reviews. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the quality work.

Before I knew what I was doing, I used a metal abrasive wire brush … is it ruined? Can it be treated correctly moving forward and save the pan?

I Have A Question! I just bought a new lodge 12 inch cast iron that is already pre seasoned. Should I wash it first with soap? Basically what should I do first? It’s brand new! Also is grape seeds oil good for seasoning? I’m just starring at my new skillet not knowing what to do.

[anthonynazario]

Thank you and video straight to the point

[stephenmurphy]

If you use hot enough water cleaning it then you don't have to reheat it to add the oil

[rollo]

Turns out I've been washing my skillet completely wrong 🤣🤣

[lilith]

but how do you remove the smell of Steak, fish, etc.. if you don't use soap?

[Mafia]

I use soap on my cast iron. A mixture of dawn, vinegar and salt water. Yes it does dry out. But I try and use a little as possible. I just can't not use some type of soap or else the grease builds over time. Then I season it afterwards. The cast iron doesn't cook evenly. That's the only thing I don't like!

it is misleading to sell all the links to earn commission

[digitalimpulse]

No expert here but wouldn’t the chain absorb the heat

[dicegamenetwork]

That pan needs more layers of seasoning just saying

[Phlegethon]

Just clean it like any other item wtf is wrong with all these random useless extra steps

[akashplayboy]

Here's the actual perfect way to clean a cast iron pan:

Step 1 - Get a stainless steel pan
Step 2 - Store the cast iron in the cupboard
Step 3 - Use the stainless steel pan for cooking
Step 4 - Use the time you save to bond with your family or develop a hobby

[swarnimashuklaxi]

It's just a waste of time.
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME

[edwardking]

Another ridiculous vid discouraging normal people from using cast iron. Just wash it in hot soapy water using a steel scrubbie if needed. Rinse, dry, and put away. Isn’t that simple?
