Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
Chainmail user here. I scrape with the metal spatula and finish with chainmail. Pat dry and wipe some EVOO or avocado oil into the pan. Put it on the stove until it begins to smoke, remove and wipe the excess oil off. Tony.

Yup. I go with Cowboy Kent. I never use soap. Salt and hot water and wooden tools for us. Here is stargazers thoughts on cleaning …. https://stargazercastiron.com/...n-cast-iron-cookware 0:01 | |||

Yup - Grab one off amazon. These work great. Train how you intend to Fight Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat. | |||

I like to find one some where else other than Amazon. I don't really want to spend $25 for the Lodge one. Seems like you should be able to find one for about $10 somewhere. But some of the other suggestions have worked well. Not using a paper towel was a good one. Thanks Signified  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Simmering water in the pan, then use of the blue Scotch Brite pad under hot water is all I've ever had to use. Then back over the burner for a quick heat-up, wiping with a piece of paper towel or cotton cloth/towel to remove any beads of excess moisture. Edit: If Mr. Rollins is of the opinion that using paper towel for a few seconds to simply remove beads of water from a hot pan is detrimental, wouldn't be the first time I've disagreed with him. | |||

Signified mentioned that the fibers of the paper towel will end up in the pan. Which after hearing that have transitioned away from using and have found it beneficial in my case. some paper towels are more fiberous than others. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

I can only tell you what I did for my Mom's cast iron skillet when I was a kid. About every couple of years she would have me take a cold chisel and wail away on the accumulated rock-hard bacon grease. That was the bacon grease that sat in a mug on the stove for frying. She lived to 98. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Ha ha ha! A little touchy aren’t we? It’s just about not getting lint on the pan bro. ORC understands; not building rockets here. lol My mileage varies. And I generally avoid throwing salt on iron and steel unless it’s necessary for the recipe.

so I disagree some nonsense from YT, and I'm touchy...seems odd | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Use a Paper towel to wipe out the excess water after it's cleaned to finish drying, don't see any issued with the cast iron and been doing it for quite a while. I'd like to see some scientific proof that drying a CI pan with a paper towel can damage the pan somehow, other than a guy or two saying it. | |||

No one is saying that brother.  We’re just trying to keep paper fibers out of a pan (that has enough texture on it that it will grab at the paper towel), and leave paper out of your cooking pan. That is all. We use a dish towel instead. Maybe if you cleaned the pan yourself, you would see what we were talking about. I’m sure your wife knows. Btw: Paper towels are handy and I use them.
