Now I know that it doesn’t need to be cozy in cleaning up the cast iron. It looks like you just let it rest after using it and put lard to maintain the gloss. It is just right to pass from generation to generation. Oh thanks for sharing. Now I know that it doesn’t need to be cozy in cleaning up the cast iron.

How & what they cook in them were very similar & also how they cared for them as well. Too much tomatowy stuff in them will harm your patina, save the acidic type cooking for the stainless cookware that you may have their not reactive like your Grannys cast iron skillet, other than that cast iron cookware is an hard act to follow, amd with added health benefits from it which no other type of cookware can bragg about. Now if your not woking like the Iron Chefs on tv then the weight of Amer. cast iron won't bother you plus you'll love the stabilty that it gives on the stovetop which comes from it's weight.Always heat up your pan before you start, then pour in your oil,give it a minute or two heat up and start to cook, like the good book says: you won't have no hang-ups with a pan that you've already heated-up !!! and if you do or they just get too greasy, a little dish liquid on a sponge with a nylon scrub on the opposite side will take care of any sticky food problems that you might encounter,make sure that you put it back on the stovetop,turn on the burner to dry it back out, I've used this method with my American made cast iron wok for well over 10yrs. with no problems and no food sticks in it amd nobody but nobody washes my cast iron cookware BUT ME and after RAISING THE ROOF a few times even my wife has learn to just leave them dirty until I get to them. Believe me when I tell you when it comes to cooking no cookware browns,braises,frys or stir frys the way that good cast olde cast iron does.But when it comes to steaming or cooking acidic foods with a lot of tomato sauce THEN take it to some other type of cookware. THIS IS THE REAL TRUTH of the matter and I've been exposed to cast iron cookware for well over 50yrs. and I'm not above stealing anybodys cast iron pan if I see that they have little reguard for it either, especially if it belonged to their Grandma.

I do the clean-up for both of us and never use anything but hot water and a plastic scrubber. Works beautifully and all our cast iron is totally non-stick. Howver, I am glad to learn this about the soap. Thanks. The clarification about mild soap was news to me.I cook with cast iron and so does my wife.
