I’m not sure about general treatment, but one thing that you can’t do is let water sit in there, as it’ll rust.

- jabbany 4y agoHaving rust is fine though, it's just oxidized iron. Sure it won't look pretty but it's largely harmless in food. The main caveat I've seen is when making acidic foods with iron cookware (cast iron or carbon steel) it may affect the taste ever so slightly as some of the acid is reacted and takes off the top layer so you end up with a "stain" that looks like the food. Still just cosmetic only though.
- desmosxxx 4y agoWorse is it'll stain your cabinet / storage or anything it touches.
