No, you don't. You don't take steel wool to it, jesus christ.

Cast Iron is fine and good. This is just Millenniums attaching to something and going all autistic and coming up with a bunch of bullshit, useless steps to things so that they can show people how good at something they are.

HERES THE STEPS:

COOK FOOD

EAT FOOD

WASH PAN

DRY OFF

RUB WITH A LITTLE OIL

It would be nice if they didn't cause every kind of food to stick and form a crust, especially now that they cheap out and come with a rough non-polished cooking surface. The vintage ones that come with a mirror-smooth surface are exempt from this complaint of course

It would be a lot more convenient if they could handle getting washed with soap like every other kitchen utensil...instead you gotta wash them separately and scrub with steel wool

Finally they're heavy. As a buff goon I can handle them with ease but you can't really hang them like other pans, and many shelves/cabinets will buckle under their load.

I would be willing to put up with all this if they offered copper-like conductivity but it takes a while for them to heat up and they're prone to hot-spots.

Cast-iron is ok but there's little advantage to using it over any other kind of uncoated cooking material. just my thoughts though, who gives a poo poo really

They shouldn't stick so bad - use more oil.

They work fine and the alternative is expensive-rear end clad pans that cost 5-10 times as much

you absolutely can use soap on a cast iron pan. i wash mine w/ soap p much every time i use it and the seasoning is still beautiful glossy black. if soap makes your seasoning come off you didn't do it right

cast iron is literally easier to maintain than teflon, you can jab it with whatever cooking utensils you want without accidentally scraping carcinogenic flakes into your food

Just throw salt, oil, soap, and water in the pan and then use a belt sander to scrub it.

Cast iron, teflon, who cares? The real issue is that there are people in this thread who are washing their cast iron pans only after a loving fortnight or more gently caress just wash it after every use wtf

I've watched those gordon ramsey shows on occasion and he'll always ramble on about needing "fresh local ingredients" and then like five minutes later it'll show him cooking an egg or some fish in a sea of butter lol.
