HOT water and a a cloth should clean a well seasoned pan all the time. Anything stuck on a teflon scrubber and rub away, then reheat and season lightly. You should also reseason your pans atleast once a year. If you use your iron in an open fire season the outside as well, easier to clean the charring off that way. If you soap your pan you MUST re-season the pan everytime. When cooking bacon save teh greese, it seasons the pan the best and adds GREAT flavour to everything.

I just inherited some abysmal cast iron from the previous homeowner, this is going to really help me in rescuing the poor things. There’s a lot of damage (pitting) on the bottom of the griddle and one of the small skillets. I hope I can salvage them. Thanks!

Momma never, I mean …
Momma never, I mean never used soap to clean her cast iron and very seldom ran her cast iron under water even. She normally just let the pan cool down a little, then wiped it down good with a dry rag. If there was some hard to clean food in her pan, she would add a little water while the pan was hot or even heat the water to remove any sticky food. But never, I mean never used soap. Funny video though!

i would never …
i would never suggest using a copper scrubbing pad for scrubbing any type of cast iron because it would cut into the seasoning, a nylon scrubbie would be better and just as good as a job. and as far as seasoning , you should put it in the oven bare with no oil on it and heat to 450 and then when its cool enough to handle apply a thin coat of crisco and put back in the oven at 400 for 30 minutes, use a timer then turn oven off and let cool on its on. this works really good for me.

setting the oven to 300 works well. if you repeat the seasoning process several times, you will get a better cast iron surface. thx, eric.

Um, the stick thing, is not for using the long loop handle to pull it out, Its for lifting the lid. I would NOT suggest trying to pull the hole oven out with the stick. I partcipate in the ‘chuck wagon cooks’ its just a large festival, where we getogether and cook, in old cast iron.
