To clean a cast iron skillet, follow these steps:
-
After cooking, let the skillet cool down slightly but not completely.
-
Use a paper towel to wipe out any excess oil or food particles.
-
If there are stubborn bits stuck to the skillet, you can use a soft brush or a non-abrasive scrubber to gently scrub them off.
-
Avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning off the skillet.
-
Rinse the skillet with hot water and dry it immediately with a towel.
-
To prevent rusting, you can lightly coat the skillet with a thin layer of oil after cleaning.
By following these steps, you can keep your cast iron skillet clean and well-maintained for years to come.
