Yes, you never wash it. You just wipe it down with a paper towel when it's cool. Washing it bad for a cast iron pan.

You need to cure cast iron before using it and if you wash it you'll take away the curing and you'll have to do it again or everything will stick to your pan.

I love my cast iron pans. The best flavors come from the things I cook in those pans. The best cooking investment I've made in a few years.

We wash with just water and everything comes off. Then you dry on low heat and add a tablespoon of oil to re-coat -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 6, 19:23 1
- You're right, you can and it's not difficult. I haven't yet. I've got some wonderful flavors coming out of it right now. Things taste so great. - Krusty Jun 6, 19:41
