Ironing things out!

This came out of a conversation with John Lawrence (basically his idea!) caring for cast iron, plus. It is a Link to a lot of Cast Iron Info, I found it for my daughter and had saved it. Has nothing to do with photography, but a good bit to do with Cooking, so here rather than Links & Resources. IMO, worth reading the topics that interest you. http://www.castironcollector.com/numbers.php

Thanks for posting this, QD. I’m anxious to learn how others clean their cast iron pans as I’ve never really figured it out.

Cowboy Chef Kent Rollins has many youtube videos and one of them is about cleaning and cooking with cast iron.

GREAT LINK here, quixdraw!! Thanks so much!!
I was happy to find that I'm doin' most of this:
After each use, observe these protocols:
-Allow the pan to cool completely to room temperature on its own
-Wipe out any leftover oil and bits of food
-Rinse the pan under warm running water
-Loosen any stuck-on bits of food with a non-abrasive scouring pad, like a plastic SOS™ Tuffy™
-Avoid dishwashing liquid or other soap until your pan has a very well-established seasoning
-Dry thoroughly with paper towel
-Place cleaned and dry pan on low heat for a minute or two to evaporate any residual moisture (don't walk away)
-Wipe warm pan all over with a very small amount of oil, e.g. 1 tsp. canola oil
I'll start the paper towel nesting thing, now!
Very fun site to peruse. lots of good tidbits....

That is a good site.
I wash my cast iron and dry it and then put it in the oven to finish drying. My Hubby and I have an ongoing inside joke about "a pan in the oven" and will leave creative notes so no one will turn the oven on when the pan is in there.

Here is a link I came across a while back on cleaning and restoring cast iron skillets, especially really old, rusty ones that you may pick up at a flea market.
