]]> Having a cast iron skillet is not anything like owning another pot or pan. Cast iron is special because it’s made up of one piece of iron, so you have to treat it carefully and much differently than your standard cookware.

Sponge

For a cast iron skillet, you have to have a separate sponge that you only use for that pan. This is because you don’t want the pan to come into contact with soap since it’s porous and will absorb it. You can use any sort of scrubber, chainmail, or anything of the like. But, don’t use steel wool because it will strip the seasoning off the pan.

Did you ever use a scrub pad (schuursponsje)? Big chance that it was plastic…. by scrubbing your pans and dishes it might release microplastics in the water system via your sink. Yikes! We used to have those scrub pads made from recycled matresses but I'm so glad we found a better alternative. This one is made from coconut fiber (available at @smir.store ) and therefore contains no plastic at all. It's biodegradable and compostable and lasts for months. Yaaaass please! Did you already know about this simple lifehack? You can also use a luffah sponge, made from a zucchini plant. #zerowaste #plasticfree #plasticvrij #zonderplastic #zonderafval #geenafval #nowaste #scrub #scrubpad #cleanocean #cleaning #zerowasteliving

Oil

Some people say you need to have an expensive oil like flaxseed oil to season your pan, but that’s not necessarily true. You do need a good oil, like a nice olive oil or organic canola oil, but don’t use something like vegetable oil because you need a better quality ingredient than that.

Handle Cover

While this isn’t a requirement for having a cast iron skillet, but having a handle cover can really help you out a lot. Since it’s one piece of iron, every part of it heats up, including the handle. Buying a little cover for it will eliminate any possibility of burns.
