Cook often, clean it less often, enjoy for life.

Be sure to keep it in a secure place, away from the missus. As mine says "you have to sleep some time!" 💍 💥 🚑

Take an angle grinder to it and sand it smooth because modern cast-iron pans are not what they used to be. If the surface is gritty, everything will stick to it and you will absolutely hate using it.

Don’t use soap to was it, hot water and a chain mail scrubber only. Then make sure to dry it right away and protect with olive oil if needed.

First thing I would do is sand that ruff surface to as close to a glass like surface as possible. An angle grinder works well with flap disc. You can nail or screw the pan to a board (using the handle holes) to help it not move around. It is a very messy job (wear a mask of some kind and goggles), but you will love it later. Next put it on the stove top and just barely coat it with oil on a paper towel. I prefer flaxseed oil for its very high smoke point. Very very thin coat, just enough to make it look wet. Turn the burner on medium high and watch for the oil to smoke, once it starts smoking (it does stink) take it off the burner and let it cool. I usually wipe it one more time when it's hot with the same paper towel just to make sure the oil is spread even. After doing this 4-5 times you're set to cook. Let it cool before cleaning. No soap in it ever, if you can wipe it out with a paper towel then dont even use water. If something sticks get the pan hot and pour in a some room temp water, that will usually loosen it. Occasionally I use the chainmail type scrubber when I'm being lazy and don't want to reheat it. Always preheat the pan before cooking, putting something like cold eggs into a room temperature skillet and waiting for it to heat up will stick like glue. I think that's ot for now. Happy Cooking!

Get another one and make bread. Easy to clean

Using cast iron makes you a little closer to becoming your grandpa. Watch out or you'll start collecting nails in a jar soon😏

Just use it. Its hard to do wrong.

This will be a hand me down to your children as they are indestructible. The way I use the cast-iron pan is I season it with avocado oil. I also make ribeyes in it. When you clean it, you can use baking soda and do not use soap and water. All you need is baking soda and water to clean it. It becomes nonstick with time, so don’t give up early in its use.

Pro tip: after cooking, clean with hot water and no soap, dry it well, then rub a little oil on it. Meanwhile, I’m dreaming of cooking on a yacht for sale deck someday!

You can clean it without anti greese products. You can leave a little greese in there, is even good for the pan

It’s the only pan I own. To clean I’ve found the easiest method is to run hot water into a hot pan. You can use your spatula to scrape anything stuck on while under the hot water. That cleans it 99% of the time. Then put a bit of oil in and wipe it down. You’re done

Season it first, high heat oil or tallow til it smokes... tip it out, wipe, add more oil and ready to cook ... don't use soap and re season every now and then. 🔥

heat it hot, smoking hot before adding anything, then melt some ghee and lay down the steak.

Got this today! Gonna follow the tips ;) thanks for the info guys 🤙

I think its covered, but to add never use seed or any plant oil in it. The fats become part of the seasoning/surface over time. Tallow, ghee, coconut oil only.

Never put it in a dishwasher I know that as I learned that lesson the hard way! 🤣
