When maintaining your cast iron skillet, it's important to first remove any grease left over from your pan after cooking. Wipe your skillet with a paper towel to remove any excess grease or bits of food. Wash your skillet by hand with hot water using a soft sponge to gently scrub.
Do not use soap or steel wool, as this can cause damage to the pan’s seasoning. It is important to never put your cast iron skillet in the dishwasher. Dry your skillet with a paper towel or cloth towel and make sure your skillet is completely dry before storing it to prevent rusting.
