it's just a pan

You can take care of your pans anyway you want. But it's telling when people treat neglect like it's an ethic.

It's going to be a good day.

Why do you hate cast iron?

I used to love cast iron but carbon steel has stolen my heart

I love cast iron for cooking. It's also very forgiving. Depending what I am cooking it gets treated carefully for the seasoning, or scrubbed with dish soap. The beautiful thing is I can take it camping, come home and scrub all the 'seasoning' off, then re-season with 30 min in the oven an a bit of olive oil.

Wash it all you want, should be fine as long as you hand dry it after.

You have to be like at least 50 to get mad over some pan

Also throw in the metal fork you used to scrape your expensive non-stick pan.

I just reseasoned my 12” Lodge today! A lot of nasty smells coming out as I took off layers and layers of old seasoning with barkeeper’s friend. But now it has a non sticky, glassy smooth new sunflower oil seasoning. Very slick!

Does anyone know how to avoid having bacon foul up the seasoning? Seems like it always reacts chemically and incorporates proteins into the seasoning which make it nasty and dry and flaky rather than smooth and glassy.
