]]>If you take anything away from this article, don’t use soap, soak it overnight, or put the cast iron skillet in the dishwasher. These will ruin its natural seasoning. To clean it use very hot water and a mild, non-abrasive sponge after each use. For stuck-on bits, use a combination of coarse salt and hot water and scrub it gently before rinsing with hot water. Make sure it’s dry and be sure to get rid of excess water.
Enameled cast iron skillets are easier to clean because they’re coated with a smooth surface. To clean them, wash it with hot, soapy water and to remove stains, bring water to a simmer in the pan on the stove and scrub and rinse with baking soda or dish soap.
Season the pan as often as you want by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil on the inside of the pan with a paper towel or dish cloth. Heat the skillet for an hour in a 350 F oven to build a nonstick surface.
