soap is fine retards, just dont scrub too hard. the stuff that makes it nonstick (polymerized oil) doesn't come off with soap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning_(cookware)

> The protective layer itself is polymeric and not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.

>he thinks cast-iron is nonstick

>>8311168

Try to take stuff off with hot water, else pour some salt into the pan and use that with some papertowl as a kind of sandpaper and scrub it off.

>>8311168
Soak, light scrub and use it again relatively quickly.

You fucked this dish so you deserve to have a shitter next one because of this. Most of that will come off with a bit of soak.

>>8311168
hot water and one of those sponges with the plastic netting, and about 5 minutes of elbow grease. dry off with a towel, set it on the burner and let it get hot so evaporate any water that might have soaked into the metal. then just re-season

>>8311718
It is non stick when it's seasoned you daft fuck.

>>8311833
go ahead and try cooking without oil on your seasoned cast iron

>>8311838
I have and it was fine.

sauces dont count

>>8311168
Lick clean
That's the best part

>>8311168

Add H2O, heat, scrub, dry

>>8311545
The original reason for this advice is because in olden days, soaps were typically made with lye, and any residual lye would indeed strip the seasoning. Modern soaps use less harsh ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate that don't really affect the seasoning too much.

>>8311168

do whatever you need to do to get it clean and just re-season the pan if it needs it.

>>8311718

Fine, "highly stick-resistant." Happy now brother autismo?

Lye, lard, and ash
The ash was especially abrasive too

>>8311569
No soap.

Seriously guys, have you ever tried to clean a baking sheet with soap and water? It didn't work too well did it? Because that is seasoning; and soap doesn't remove it.

I always wondered why it was a smooth, clean layer yet looked so dirty. After using cast iron for a few years and seeing a video that even SS can be seasoned it dawned on me. To be honest I prefer the shiny look, but it's just not worth the effort of scrubbing with abrasives every time.

Pour some vinegar in it. Heat slightly it over the stove to loosen up the meat stuck on it. And scrub with a steel wool pad. Works everytime.

>>8312287
This works best if you leave the vinegar overnight to soak first

Heat it up on the stove on high heat with some oil. Then pour in a bowl of ice water.

????

Profit.

Probably the best advice in this thread so far

>reusing pans

>>8312922
Don't do this, you can actually crack cast iron by taking it from hot to cold too fast

>>8312936

That's only true for old cast iron pans. Modern ones don't have this problem so OP should be fine.

>>8311168
Commit. Crank up the heat and cook that shit on until it becomes part of the seasoning. It's the only way.

use chainmail

>>8311743
Where do I get elbow grease?

>>8313042

You can find it at walmart next to headlight fluid

>>8311168
Just use soap and water, then immediately pat it dry and put it on the stove for a couple minutes to completely evaporate any remaining moisture. Anyone telling you that soap is a problem on seasoned cast iron is a full fledged retard.

>>8313029
Tards not using chainmail on cookware in Current Year.

>>8312721
God no. You really need to buff those little bits off with some steel wool and vinegar. Anon above mentioned soaking overnight too.

Lol cast iron fags

Season, oil in oven, never use soap, soak, salt, scrub, careful no soap, air dry, reseason, remove rust, special sponge, shit still sticks, never cook eggs (lol), what do? scrub with baking soda, sing to sleep at night, store in a cool dry place, dont do this dont do that, heres a link to a peer reviewed essay on how to care for cast iron lol

Meanwhile the non-autistic are doing the same things in nonstick.

>>8313454
Except none of that is true. Literally all you have to do is keep it dry.
