How to Clean a Cast Iron Skillet

Cleaning your cast iron skillet is essential for it to retain its non-stick properties, as well as staying rust-free and properly seasoned. Follow these simple steps to clean your skillet:

  1. Allow your skillet to cool completely before cleaning it.
  2. Scrape off any remaining food residue with a spatula, wooden scraper, or stiff brush.
  3. If needed, fill the skillet with warm water and let it sit for a few minutes to help loosen any stuck-on food.
  4. Wash the skillet with hot water and a sponge or soft cloth, making sure to not use any soap or detergents.
  5. Thoroughly dry the skillet with a paper towel or cloth.
  6. Optionally, you can re-season the skillet after cleaning by rubbing it lightly with a little oil, then using a paper towel to wipe off the excess.

By following these steps, your cast iron skillet can be kept clean and rust-free for years of cooking performance.
