That was not cast iron, was it?
That is what cast iron looks like if you strip it down to the bare metal. It's not actually ruined, but it will be unusable until someone goes through the process of re-seasoning it
Not me thinking that "seasoning" meant to let stuff stick to it for the flavor. 💀
I had a roommate who thought this, and therefore never washed or rinsed their cast iron. They refused to believe otherwise.
You should avoid washing and rinsing it as much as possible, especially avoiding soap. When food sticks, I usually just soak it, scrub it using a loofah, and then dry it over a hot burner or in a high-temperature oven.
I saw one guy on YouTube who scrubbed his out using salt. I think I'm going to start using this technique, because it avoids water altogether.
I got a chain mail cloth thing that does a pretty decent job of getting the pan clean without using soap. When it fails I use steel wool that doesn’t come pre-soaped.
Chain mail and dish detergent every time. Usually just needs a quick wipe, then dry with a paper towel.
Occasionally something sticks but you’re already set to scrub. In that case, you’ll need to touch up the seasoning after
no, the soap thing was from back when soaps contained Lye. dont use grandma's soap on cast iron. please use a small amt of soap on your cookware
