Best way to clean cast iron skillet w/o ruining seasoning?
I got a cast-iron pan for my birthday and I've been getting really into cooking with it, but I'm scared of ruining it! I've heard water can ruin the seasoning, but I'm not sure how to clean it then, especially after cooking something really messy or greasy. Any tips for a cast-iron newbie?
