I have had good luck cleaning my cast iron by heating water after cooking then use a brush or wood spatula to scrape it. Works every time. Before using it, I give the pan a wipe down with coconut oils again. It seems to keep things from sticking less and helps build my nonstick easy release finish.

cleaning iron frying pans thick build up what is wrong with SOS steel pads , I am not talking about meat grease or crumbs , that thick layer of what feels like charcoal gritty layer . I clean that of with SOS pads and after more cooking further cleanup with hot water after more use a breeze . I read once no dishwasher soap gets into this charcoal layer and then on your food , you get the trots . I never heard about this other cleaning methods . once I get that layer off I oil the pan with a light layer and regular cooking no charcoal layer happens . I am doing this wrong or what ?

Just in case you aren’t as fortunate as me, buy one and start your own tradition, you won’t be sorry.

I have never really heard of cast iron cooking, this is fascinating. My grandma was a great cook but for some reason she didn’t use these. I am going to ask for one for Christmas and give it a shot. Do you several recipes for cast irons specifically that you could recommend to a newbie? Thanks!

Great tips! I also use a stiff nylon brush and a plastic scraper. The scraper is put out by Lodge so I trust that it will not damage my cast iron or the precious seasoning! I usually find that a super thin coating is oil or shortening is better than using a bunch. If you put a lot of fat on there you will probably end up with a sticky kind of seasoning rather than a hard non-stick surface. Thanks!
