No, it won't. The seasoning process polymerizes the grease and there is nothing left to "degrease". Hence, the soap will have no more of an effect on your pan than it will on your Tupperware...provided the seasoning is done well and properly, and you don't scrub the living snot out of it. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

So how did they come out? Did you use the culinary fanatic's method? Tony. Owner, TonyBen, LLC, Type-07 FFL www.tonybenm14.com (Site under construction). e-mail: tonyben@tonybenm14.com | |||

Not sure but everything I've read or seen has it going in an oven. I restored 3 Griswold pans and seasoned in the oven. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

Tony- I did use his method for 2 rounds of seasoning. They came out a little bronze colored. The surface feels acceptably slick. I cooked an egg with butter, in one. It's not quite Teflon, yet. The egg snagged in a couple of spots but lifted without much work. I am trying his aftercare method and hope they keep getting better.

Since you used sandpaper like I did on a couple, the burnt bronze look is the result. They will darken to black with usage. The more seasonings the better and you’ll find that cleanup is pretty easy. Three to four seasonings, I think, is ideal. Tony. Owner, TonyBen, LLC, Type-07 FFL www.tonybenm14.com (Site under construction). e-mail: tonyben@tonybenm14.com | |||

I may put them back in the oven for a couple of more rounds of seasoning or just cook bacon every day for a month  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush.

Oh man, do I want a Stargazer! I would settle for an old Wagner or Griswold though. I need to hit up the yard sales and estate sales more. Next time I try seasoning from scratch I'm going to try the potato skin and oil method and see how that works. Maybe that is more applicable to when the new pans come covered in wax though. | |||

I have a friend in seattle who reconditions cast iron pans. Here is his mewe grouo https://mewe.com/join/cast_iron_restorations | |||

I have both sizes of Stargazer. I use them more than my old stuff. Neither one is black yet, but they are getting there slowly. | |||

I only have newer Lodge pans. I have seasoned on the woodstove. I have not smoothed them out. Just use them and mostly just wipe them with canola oil. The more I use them the better they preform. If I used more oil for cooking they would probably preform a bit better but do not go overboard with additional oil. I like the results of my cast iron.
