"The pans are durable, fairly nonstick (without the chemical coating), and can withstand high temperatures. They're also great on stovetops, in the oven, and even over open flames. Knowing how to clean them, however, can feel confusing as everyone has their own opinion on which tools and techniques to use - not to mention the controversy regarding whether or not you should clean a cast iron skillet with soap."
"A basic staple in a bartender's arsenal, club soda is best known for its use in cocktails, where it adds fizzy bubbles and lends a subtle touch of salty, mineral flavor to classics like a mojito or a legendary Tom Collins. But, club soda's merits have been reported to extend far beyond the bar. It's been touted for use as a cleaning agent on everything from windows and mirrors to carpets and jewelry,"
Cast iron pans are durable, relatively nonstick without chemical coatings, and withstand high temperatures for stovetop, oven, and open-flame cooking. Cleaning methods provoke confusion and debate, including whether to use soap. Club soda is a commonly recommended hack for loosening grime. Club soda contains carbon dioxide and dissolved minerals that can lift grit; brands often include sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, potassium sulfate, and disodium phosphate. Club soda is praised for cleaning glass, carpets, jewelry, deodorizing refrigerators, and aiding plants. Practical tests on a lightly soiled pan and a cruddier one showed unimpressive results, indicating limited effectiveness for removing baked-on grime or rust.
