Serious question, should I stop using soap on my cast iron?
Tbh I was chatting with my aunt last night and she said she never uses soap on her cast iron, just hot water and a scrub brush. She's been cooking with hers for 30 years and it's super non-stick. Now I'm wondering if my regular dish soap is ruining my seasoning. Has anyone else tried skipping soap every time?

Use way less soap but don't skip it entirely, it won't hurt your seasoning.

Go even lighter than you think, like just a drop or two. Your pan will be fine and your food won't taste like old bacon grease.
