How to Care for Cast Iron:
If you do Nothing Else...
Hand wash. Dry immediately-even before first use.
Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash.
How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being "sticky".
Why? To keep the iron "seasoned" and protected from moisture.
Seasoning-It isn't Salt and Pepper
"Seasoning" is vegetable oil baked onto the iron at a high temperature: not a chemical non-stick coating.
Seasoning creates the natural, easy-release properties. The more you cook, the better it gets.
Because you create, maintain, and even repair the "seasoning", your cookware can last 100 years or more. Chemical non-stick coating cannot be repaired, limiting lifespan.
To Soap or not to Soap...
If no soap is too scary, wash with mild soapy water and dry and oil immediately. However, consider that cookware is 400ºF in 4 minutes on medium heat and is sterile at 212º F, so soap isn't always necessary.
Dishwashers, strong detergents and metal scouring pads are not recommended, as they remove seasoning.
