honestly it's way easier for me to wash my high carbon lodge pan (and i can put that sucker directly into the oven) because i use steel wire ball, maybe a little soap, and hot water briefly and it's done. reseasoning up to the level needed is trivial with each use but one doesnt really worry about a proper season unless one cleans the pan with some insane pressure and soap. and pans dont really need to be seasoned to be used. the season helps avoid rust a little but then again you can simply store it with a finish of oil on if youre concerned about that. to be frank cleaning a teflon etc pan is way more finicky because we need, hey, wait, more microplastics in the form of slowly degrading acrylic sponge pads or brushes etc.. but i guess you could use alternatives. but anyway, there are also many other ways to keep dry lol it's not like teflon is the only solution
