Hello! New subscriber here. Just heard about your channel from Zach at An American Homestead. I love my cast iron and use it daily. Never knew the reason why not to use soap. My mother always told me to never use soap. That's the way she was raised. Now I think I know why she said that. Back in the day, they had lye in their soap...
The Idea about the soap is that cast iron is porous and by using soap you are poisoning yourself. My mother never used soap for 70 years and neither have I. Hot water boiling and scrubbing with hot water or oven baking were our go too's.
While we certainly applaud the old tried and true methods of cleaning your Cast Iron, and if its working for you don't switch a thing. A unseasoned Cast Iron pan would have "open pores" a well seasoned pan should seal those up. The minute amount of Dawn liquid soap contains no lye as the soaps did, and will not strip or harm your seasoning. We've, along with many others have used this method for decades with no ill effects. Thanks for watching and commenting. We love to hear from viewers.
@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTaraI agree with you on the pores being closed when the pan is seasoned. But in my experience we have had people trying to help out it the family who wash the pans with dawn and it leaves a soap taste in the pan for a while afterward. I have a very sensitive sense of taste, and unless the pan is boiled with hot water and scrubbed mutable times the soap flavor remains for 3 or 4 cooking sessions.
