    I couldn't help but smile a bit hearing you during this video. Plus, the simplicity of it all was making me chuckle, too. BTW, my brain is only halfway working today, and had to go take a look at my article on seasoning cast iron to make sure I wasn't missing some detail, and saw your "related" video on my page. Be well.

    This is a great video on how to clean them. I usually use Dawn to clean mine.

    I have wondered how to properly wash these without damaging them. Great demonstration video!

    LOL Shanika - I guess it depends on who's doing the cleaning. :-)
