Used to wash my cast iron pan with soap until a chef friend stopped me
For years I scrubbed my Lodge skillet with dish soap after every use. I thought that's what you did to keep things clean. Then my buddy Mike who works at a barbecue joint in Austin saw me doing it and laughed. He said soap strips the seasoning and I was basically starting over each time. Now I just use hot water and a stiff brush, then dry it on the stove with a little oil. After three months of this, eggs slide right off and nothing sticks. Anyone else get bad advice about cast iron maintenance?

The whole thing just snowballs, right? One small problem turns into another, and before you know it you're dealing with a whole chain of stuff you didn't plan for. It's like the universe has a way of piling on when you're already overwhelmed. You gotta just pick one thing and fix it, then move to the next. Otherwise you'll go crazy trying to solve everything at once.
