Love my cast-iron! Currently using a set that are about 75 years old that were my great grandmothers.

So glad you mentioned the dish soap. I've cleaned my cast irons with a little bit of dish soap for years and never had any issues. The key is making sure they're seasoned correctly at the start and then maintaining them

I use the wooden whisk that I clean my wok with. Works like a charm every time! If something burns on and the whisk is struggling, I boil some water in the pan and then whisk again, or I use the matal scrubber, but that has only ever happened once or twice, and I use my cast iron pans every day.

The chainmail scouring thingy is a gamechanger. I've had one for a couple of years, and I'll always have one, from now on.

Love how you use the handle of the skillet as your microphone 😂 Best jingle in the history of jingles, EVER. Keep the kitchen tips coming; they're fantastic! 💜

Love this dude. If everyone in the kitchen was like this the industry would be so much less toxic.

I have a cast iron pan that I rarely use because it is heavy and it is hard cleaning it. I needed this info, thank you. 🥰

I have to say, I adore your style, man! Most chefs I watch, I end up getting overstimulated with graphics and noise. You are a wonderful departure from the hype. Instead you're just...informative! 😆 Thanks for all your hard work!

My mother and grandma cooked almost exclusively in cast iron and this videp is spot on. Soap is totally fine and recommended on Lodge's official website. Dawn dish soap is not going to strip your seasoning, this is a myth from days when lye was commonly found in household dish soaps.

The best way to season is with a neutral high smoke point oil such as vegetable. Crisco is also great. Apply a thin layer to the cast iron both inside and out with a paper towel and then heat in an oven at very high temp for an hour. Let it cool in the oven and repeat the process for as many times as you feel is necessary. The more layers of seasoning the better.

Love the "Kitchen Tips With Andy!!!" Please do MORE of these!

[grand_howler]

I’m glad you mentioned it needs to be seasoned well if you’re gonna use dish soap. Everyone i’ve ever seen speak on the topic, forbids the use of soap.

Thanks Andy! I threw away all my non stick coated fry pan and took down all my husband's cast iron pan set from the loft. It works very well and I never look back!

Please do a tip for seasoning and/or re-seasoning your cast iron pan

Learning alot from your tips, chef! Blessings to you 🙌

I also use kosher salt to help with the cleaning. Then he heated up a bit and add a little bit of oil and wipe it around real good and you’re good to go.
