How to Clean Cast Iron

I use my cast iron skillet to cook with as often as possible. It is wonderful, distributes heat beautifully, and cooks evenly. But, you have to treat it differently when it’s time to wash it.

Here are the things you don’t do with cast iron:

don’t wash with soap
don’t use steel wool or any other kind of really abbrassive material
don’t put it in the dishwasher
don’t let it air dry

I wash mine with Kosher salt.

Stainless Steel vs. Cast Iron

The other day, I made grilled cheese sandwiches. For some reason, I had my stainless steel frying pan out and for some reason, I used it to make the sandwich. There was a time, a decade or more ago, when I had a cheep teflon coated frying pan and tried different times to cook grilled cheese with no success. That’s when I switched to cast iron and never looked back.
