  • I mean maybe? I definitely scrub it with real steel wool each time, but I do rarely use soap. I am also careful never to go past smoking point so I’m definitely not seasoning it as in the way people recommend.

    If I am accidentally seasoning it, then even more argument that it’s not necessary for me to actually season them I guess. But I struggle to see how anyone wouldn’t be doing the same unless they’re never using oil to cook with.

    I go a step further and do not bother to season my cast iron at all. It just doesn’t need it; Beans, eggs, reduced sauces, nothing sticks to it anyway, and anything still in it just scrubs off with water and steel wool in two seconds, then I leave it on the hob to dry. I’ve had zero problems in so far two years of ownership.

    Atop that, no hate to anyone who does season, but I’m personally sceptical about the idea of cooking food with a bunch of burned oil. Just sounds like a bad idea.
