How to Clean a Cast Iron Pan
Вставка

- Well-maintained cast iron skillets can last a lifetime and are essentially nonstick when properly seasoned.
How to clean your cast iron pan:
1. Wash by hand while still warm.
2. Immediately dry with paper towel or cloth.
3. Lightly coat pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray to help maintain the natural patina of the cast iron pan.
Do NOT soak the pan or leave in the sink overnight as this will cause the cast iron pan to rust.
How to Remove Food Stuck to the Cast Iron Pan
1. Boil 1/2 inch of water in the cast iron pan to loosen the stubborn food residue.
2. Rinse, pat dry, and season.
3. If food residue still remains, add kosher salt and a small amount of water and heat your pan to medium to create a paste. Scrub with a sponge using a pair of tongs or wooden spoon to remove stuck on food.

The greatest part of having a cast iron pan is it’s now my full time job to take care of a cast iron pan
Istg its like a ritual
😂
😂 same here ... Seems like I have a baby that will never growup....
It's not that difficult
Steal another joke
finally some actual cleaning content and not "how to season" tutorial
Cleaning of cast iron pans are all over the internet.
After drying with a towel put the iron on low heat for about 3-5 minutes. This will remove all excess moisture! Also the lowest heat will make it perfect for reasoning. Just poor a little oil in and rub it in with a paper towel. The oil will smoke if the pan is too hot. If so let it cool for a few seconds. Always reseason a pan when it’s hot. The pores need to be open for the oil to get in! There is a certain cowboy cook on UA-cam that is the goat for cast iron care and southwestern cooking!
Thanks. Some of us just didn't know, wasn't taught, was SHAMED -for not knowing this common thing like the rest of the world does, & now here learning how to clean it. After washing it and leaving it to rust. 😢 Thanks Chef🎉
Thank you for a simple, short and straight to the point video. I honestly love longer videos but sometimes I don't want to hear 15+ minutes of someone talking and talking and talking lol. This video helped out SO MUCH
Probably the only video you need to see for caring your cast iron pan. He nailed it
Boiling water is by far the best method. By FAR
This is the most succinct, useful video on cleaning cast iron i have found. Thank you. All the others seem to have a lot of useless waffling and it gets confusing when you try to parse out the actual information.
Brother I really appreciate your quick and easy to do video. I got a cast iron pan hand me down and unfortunately I got some rust on it. After watching your vid and some DIY I got it looking and functioning like new ! Some knowledge just isn’t passed down and I appreciate you stepping in.
Makes me want to find rusty pans at garage sales to restore, they'll last centuries if taken care of right 😅
It takes longer to clean a cast-iron pan than it does to cook on it
Yeah, that’s a selling feature I want
Thanks for sharing - I just got one for Xmas used it and it’s rusted overnight
Now I know I’m a rookie - much appreciated
Excellent! This dude is congenial and great info quickly. Thank you Sir!
By far the most useful thing I’ve seen all day, keep them coming sir🤙
Never use a paper towel or cloth on a cast iron skillet. Small fibers break off while drying. Use coffee filters since they are made of tightly woven cellulose fibers that are much stronger.
Simple and straight to the point with great visuals examples. Just got my first one now I know how to take care of it, thanks!
Thank you brother. Just what I needed. I just got one as a gift yesterday.
Use a plastic scrubber and water to get stuck bits off. Wipe dry immediately after, done. No need to cover with oil or anything, the oil that didn’t get washed off by water is still stuck to the pans surface. Do not use a sponge like he did as the sponge will have some left over soap, if you are using a new sponge, it will get real grimy quickly. Been using my method for years and it works like a charm. Pans are clean, no rust, no need to cover with oil after every use. Simple as that.
Thanks. This video is very helpful
Best cast iron cleaning video I’ve seen yet! This is the right way! No soap! 👍🏻
Soap is fine. No lye in soap anymore that rule went out the window ages ago
This video has Project Farm energy!

Can’t wait to get my new skillet and try these tips.
I tried this before when I started using cast iron, trying different things. What it worked for me is after the rinse I dry it with a paper towel (or kitchen towel) and heat it until the water has evaporated. Then I apply the oil and some heat for a bit and as soon some smoke comes out I remove from the heat.
You CAN use gentle detergent.
Straight to the point. Thanks.
I love Omaha Steaks. I got one as a gift and it was fantastic.
Cast iron is without a doubt the best way to cook a good steak. And pork chops.
Bro you got it seasoned so perfectly you can just see it!
For a quick maintenance reseason, lightly grease with crisco or grape oil, put it on a high burner until it just starts to smoke, then take it off the burner.
Thank you. My family has had a large set of cast iron skillets and pans that are nearly 30 years old. But no one actually cleans them the way they are supposed to be cleaned and just ruins the seasoning on the skillet.
Straight to the point and helpful, thank you!!!
This helped me a lot thanks 🙏
Thanks, great tip. I always forget to grease step.
Hell yeah bro, great tips and love your energy
Thank you 🙂
Thank you. This is very helpful
Two different pans. The information you provided is good advice, but the difference between the pans is pretty obvious. Instead of water and salt, I suggest oil and course salt. The oil will preserve the cast iron while the course salt is food safe, and can be easily removed after scrubbing.
This was super helpful ❤
You absolutely can use modern soap on your cast iron. It will not ruin your seasoning.
What is modern soap
@@vladislavnoolder soaps back in the time had lye, which is caustic and could strip off the seasoning. Modern soaps like dawn are degreasing, I've heard mixed reviews on using it. I guess it doesnt really matter as long as you oil it before putting it away so it doesnt flash rust. I've done ok with hot water to deglaze stuck on bacon bits and oiled. Heat will kill any germs the next time you use it anyways 😂👍
Wow! And for 40 years, I didn't realize there was a special way to clean my skillet! Thanks internet! ;)! HAHAHA!
Needed this thank you King 👑🤝🏼🗿
It's a simple thing. But thank you for this.
I have found that the best vegetable oil or spray is bacon grease to properly season your cast iron pan
Wash with dish soap, dry, apply some oil. Will last you a lifetime
Not too shabby!!
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent video!
Lovely - thank you!
This is great content!
Perfect, thank you!
"Please don't burn yourself!" 😂
Thank you very much.
Super helpful!
Thank you!
Thank you !!!
Thanks supper helpful!
THANK YOU!!
Thank you.
Thank you!😊
thank you
Thank you
Lard is the best for cast iron.
for seasoning.
Thanks!
Watching this after burning myself
I've heard that you want to heat the pan up so all the water evaporates so the oil can properly soak after
2 different skillets but still good video
Thanks for sharing 👍
Better than a towel, put it back on the burner to thoroughly dry it. Then do the oil. :)
Thanks Omaha steak man
Thank you 🙏
Awesome thanks
When my cast iron looks like that after cooking it's usually because I screwed up while cooking. If I have temp right and the right amount of oil nothing should stick like that. Usually when it does I got impatient and didn't wait long enough for the pan to heat up.
True, always use medium/medium low heat and wait 3-5 min for the pan to heat up (you can poke the handle to see how warm it's getting or hover your hand over the pan to see if it feels hot). You could probably use high heat if you're deep frying something like french fries.
That’s the reason I’m here it destroys everything I use to clean it with . My new sponges … trashed every time
Careful going from hot to cold it can crack. Dont take Hot pan to Cold Water fridge ect, or cold pan to hot burner.
Chain mail with hot water works well also
Lol, listening to this dude's voice, I wasn't expecting him to be so jacked when the camera panned out. Good tips though.
Thankyou bro!
Thanks 🙃🍳
Thanks boss!
thanks alot man !
A patina is a layer of oxidation. In The case of cast iron its rust. The oil is to prevent a patina. Not cause it.
Paper towel alone will not dry it completely... Heat up on stove untill dry then oil it..
Better check out kent rollins folks.
Omg thanks so much I was panicking 😅
I haven’t seen it in person, how close is it to sea salt? I love getting the tiny cocottes in a variety of colors! I use those more thsn mugs!
I love making frittatas on cast iron but the egg sticks terrible every time on the edges
You missed a step. Immediately dry with a towel and then heat until the water evaporates fully. Then let it cool and apply the oil.
You can use soap
Finally got my own, ty, how would you recommend seasoning it?
Check out our blog article for a cast iron pan seasoning tutorial. www.omahasteaks.com/blog/how-to-clean-and-season-your-cast-iron-pan/
Avocado oil or any high smoke point oil
If you don't want the part-time job of maintaining a cast iron pan, just use a stainless steel pan.
So just so I’m clear, no soap right?
You forgot to mention that drying isn't enough. You need to put it back on the stove to heat the pan back up after washing and drying with a towel to ensure that all of the water is dried.
Add oil to the water or lose the seasoning
If you keep your cast-iron Seasoned Things will not stick!
💥
taking care of a cast iron pan becomes my full time job and I didn't sign for it
Some people say u shouldn't use a cast iron pan on a glass stove top
You can, just be careful to not move it around as it could scratch it. Definitely don't want to drop it either 😅
Thanks...if I don't have kosher salt will any salt do?
Course sea salt can work, if it doesnt have any dips/pitting you dont have to mess with salt really, most of the time hot water works, it can just help scrub off tough stuck on spots or get into those pits.
“Please don’t burn yourself!”
3 out of 5 people will burn themselves lol
Drinking game: Shot on every complete "cast iron pan"
just found out the "don't use soap" thing was from a bygone era when soap had lye -- which hasn't been used since 90000 BC so we good
Hey man, thank you! But when I use the paper towel to dry it, it leaves a little pieces of the paper on it
Use coffee filters or a lint free cotton cloth :)
Hey, so after I add the oil: I'm just put it away or do I dry in the oven?
Let’s use vegetable oil. Lmfao.
