- 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
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 CZcams 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🎉
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.
Can’t wait to get my new skillet and try these tips.
Straight to the point. Thanks.
By far the most useful thing I’ve seen all day, keep them coming sir🤙

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

THANK YOU!!
Cast iron is without a doubt the best way to cook a good steak. And pork chops.
Thanks supper helpful!
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.
Thank you!😊
Thank you.
thank you
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.
Thank you
Not too shabby!!
Thanks, great tip. I always forget to grease step.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you 🙏
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.
Awesome thanks
It's a simple thing. But thank you for this.
Thankyou bro!
Thanks boss!
Thanks Omaha steak man
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.
Wow! And for 40 years, I didn't realize there was a special way to clean my skillet! Thanks internet! ;)! HAHAHA!
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.
Perfect, thank you!
"Please don't burn yourself!" 😂
Omg thanks so much I was panicking 😅
Chain mail with hot water works well also
You absolutely can use modern soap on your cast iron. It will not ruin your seasoning.
What is modern soap
Lard is the best for cast iron.
for seasoning.
Thanks...if I don't have kosher salt will any salt do?
I love Omaha Steaks. I got one as a gift and it was fantastic.
Watching this after burning myself
Better than a towel, put it back on the burner to thoroughly dry it. Then do the oil. :)
I've heard that you want to heat the pan up so all the water evaporates so the oil can properly soak after
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.
That’s the reason I’m here it destroys everything I use to clean it with . My new sponges … trashed every time
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
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!
Better check out kent rollins folks.
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.
Careful going from hot to cold it can crack. Dont take Hot pan to Cold Water fridge ect, or cold pan to hot burner.
Some people say u shouldn't use a cast iron pan on a glass stove top
You can use soap
Lol, listening to this dude's voice, I wasn't expecting him to be so jacked when the camera panned out. Good tips though.
Hey, so after I add the oil: I'm just put it away or do I dry in the oven?
Drinking game: Shot on every complete "cast iron pan"
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
Hey man, thank you! But when I use the paper towel to dry it, it leaves a little pieces of the paper on it
Wash with dish soap, dry, apply some oil. Will last you a lifetime
“Please don’t burn yourself!”
3 out of 5 people will burn themselves lol
So just so I’m clear, no soap right?
Can I use bacon grease?
Paper towel alone will not dry it completely... Heat up on stove untill dry then oil it..
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.
I love making frittatas on cast iron but the egg sticks terrible every time on the edges
If you keep your cast-iron Seasoned Things will not stick!

👍🏾
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.
🙌🙌🙌
❤❤
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
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.
Does it have to be kosher lol
Well I feel like a dumbass 😂 thanks for the video this will help a lot
Hope it helps next time!
Use soap!!!!
Salt is better used in oil because it doesn't dissolve
"Please don't burn your self"
No need to season just use it.
You should never never never never never never use a paper towel because that can leave lint, which infuses itself in the pan. You must use a lint-free cloth. I love these so-called experts who post videos. Also put pan on low heat to dry it out. If you think its dry vecause you wiped it down for a few seconds....think again.
