- TheChaplain 5y agoI hope you misspelled "pans"?
- robbedpeter 5y agoYeah, really, who needs pants for cooking anyway?
- sneak 5y agoWait, you aren't seasoning your pants regularly? Mine have never seen soap.
- darkarmani 5y agoIt's a myth that you can't use soap. You aren't washing oil off the pan -- it's a cross-linked polymer once you have seasoned the pan.
- WillPostForFood 5y agoIt seems like a lot of people are cooking with poorly seasoned cast iron. Once it is actually seasoned, you can wash with soap, scrub it, store it without oil, and cook eggs in it without sticking. Poorly seasons pans are hard to clean, rust easily, and are a pain. I think modern cooks use lower heat and less oil, so are less likely to get a good seasoning.
- azinman2 5y agoYes :) updated
- qbasic_forever 5y agoYep I've rarely had a mess in a pan that a quick deglaze with water and then scrub with salt can't handle.
