Pro Tip: How to quickly clean cast-iron pans

[voteforscience]

Water can crack hot cast iron if they aren’t the same temperature because it makes the iron contract. Make sure the water is as close to boiling as possible. (Lest you think pans are too thick to break- I’ve seen a cast iron stove crack from cold water!)

Don’t put water on your hot cast iron! Let it cool some first. Even cast iron can crack from water that is significantly cooler than the pan.

I recommend a wooden scraper... can be used for cleaning grills aswell

I’m using the same basting brush as I am watching this and it always pops off too lol
