    This has been my experience with cast iron. There’s so, so, so much conflicting information on them. Even in this thread.

    I wish the Mythbusters would come back just to test via experimentation all these conflicting claims.

      The water one is definitely false. You just have to dry it and add cooking oil right away.

      Steel wool or a Brillo pad, on the other hand …

        I didn’t even always add oil afterwards. I just wash it then stick it on the stove on low to dry it while I unload and reload the dishwasher or whatever.

        My wife does hate that I’m fine with my cast iron living in the stove though.

          Put it in the oven. No worries if you turn it on and forget it was in there compared to a pan of brownies with a plastic lid… •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

      Cast iron is great if you want to throw the pan in the oven or if you have a grill big enough to fit it. For regular use who gives a shit.

      Been using cast iron my whole life
