I use cast-iron pans for about 99% of my cooking. Wayyyy better than any sort of non-stick pans once you get the hang of it.<br /><br />My cast-iron care routine is pretty simple! After using the pans to cook, I will:<br />1) Rinse them out with plain water--never soap--and use a nylon scrub sponge thing like a Scrub Daddy to remove any debris. <br />2) Place the pan back on the burner on low (I also give it a quick dry with a paper towel, but it's not necessary). <br />3) After the pan is fairly dry, put a drop or two of vegetable-based oil in the pan and use a paper towel to spread around in a thin layer. I've found that avocado oil works really well!<br />4) Leave the pan on a low setting for around 5 minutes. This is kind of a mini-seasoning!<br />5) Turn off the burner, wait for the pan to cool, then put the pan away.<br /><br />I know the process seems kind of involved, but it is really quick and easy once you have the routine down!
