I agree with everything but using a brass brush as you risk removing the seasoning. i use a stiff nylon bristle brush
Boil them clean. That is the safest way. Soap can get into the pores and give people the scootsies.
The pot must be black after conditioning. If not, the oil is not impregnated into the pores. Condition it again. That way food is not going to stick. It can’t stick to oil.
For years I have washed my cast iron with soap making sure to rinse well. Then I place the clean cast iron back on the stove or oven to reheat and dry thoroughly. Then I lightly coat it with oil and let it cool. I’ve never had any problems. I can’t stand the thought of just wiping a dish down and reusing it. You wouldn’t do that with any other dish and it’s not necessary to skip truly cleaning it just because it’s cast iron. But to each his own I guess.
You’re absolutely right. As I said above, I’ve used soap on my cast iron and never had a problem. I wouldn’t dare risk food poisoning by eating out of someones unwashed cook pots.
Why is it that every “Expert Village” video gives the worst advice. I’ve never watched one where they told me that correct way to do anything.
like your breast
settle down Beavis or else, she’ll give you a…’Dutch oven’
@siszam Exactly!!! Just look at the frigging nasty brush she brushed the pan with and just rinsing with water, my goodness!!!! that’s nasty… In these modern days what are dishwashers for??? I mean come on, are you living in dark ages or what?????????????
Because I am not an expert on this subject, this is more of a question than a statement. Wouldn’t heat from the stove kill any living bacteria in the Dutch oven if you only clean it with water only? I am seeing good arguments on both sides of this advice for cleaning is why I ask for anyone to answer.
