Solid article. A commenter here gave me some similar and excellent advice: just don’t clean up very much. Iron is a sponge that simply needs to soak up oil.

Solid article. A commenter here gave me some similar and excellent advice: just don’t clean up very much. Iron is a sponge that simply needs to soak up oil. c.f. Oilite™ bearings, or your feet. Keep them constantly moisturised with oils and don’t let them dry out. On another note, I love the look and feel of cast iron but the heat dissipation is crap compared to sandwiched metal pans. If you can make me a cast iron skillet with a copper core I will throw my money at you.
