Common Mistakes You're Making With Your Cast Iron Skillet - And How To Fix Them - Tasting Table

Using abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers can damage your skillet's seasoning, which protects against rust, requiring care rather than aggressive scrubbing to maintain longevity.

For stubborn residue, utilize basic tools like nylon scrapers or stiff-bristled brushes, as well as natural abrasives like coarse salt and water for effective cleaning.

If residues persist, simmering water in the pan creates steam that loosens debris, allowing for easier removal with gentle tools, avoiding damage to the seasoning.
