    The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that’s it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.

    If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.

      Just wash it with dish soap like everything else, use a soft scrubber like everything else.

      If you have an actual polymer layer, it won’t be harmed.

      Dry it off, throw it on the burner. Get it hot, give it a touch of oil, and store it.
