[Cook Chatty Cathy]

I have several ways to clean my cast iron skillet:

1] I degalze it while it is hot and wipe it clean and dry

2] I will wash it with soap and water if needed but I do so briskly and always follow with a good drying and wipe w/ fresh oila afterwards

3] Sometimes I just wipe it out while it is hot if it's not too dirty

I always keep mine stored in the oven and allow it to remain in there until I need to place my food into the oven, I kind of liken this to curing it every so often.

Whay are some of your methods of cleaning and storing your cast iron ?
