I CANNOT believe my husband put our cast iron skillet in the dishwasher, everyone knows you're supposed to leave it in the sink for six weeks while intending to look up how to do something with salt
Speaking seriously, I have a cast iron pot I really like. I cook stews and stuff in it, and afterwards I wash it with soap and water and dry it by heating it on the burner, to keep it from rusting. This seems to work fine. Am I a kitchen monster?

Non-stick-ness matters less in a pot, I guess?

if it is cured properly (heavy black coat, not grey cast iron) it shouldn’t rust.

it’s not the iron that is a little delicate, it is the burnt/polymerized oil coating. here is the same thing happening on carbon steel pan. the top surface has been cleaned so i can re-clean it. bottom is still cured.pic.twitter.com/NmuCFwuyhg

I scrub my cast iron out with steel wool and cook dry and don't bother about the seasoning fuss. After a bit of that it gets polished enough from the steel wool that it is nicely non-stick with no need to treat it as fragile.

Maybe it has some sort of coating? Or maybe it has such a thick seasoning that a bit of soap isn't removing it. Good call on drying it off though.

I was told to heat it after washing to let any water evaporate, then carefully add a thin layer of oil when it was still warm.
