[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 16915210, member: 26082"] I'm on year 3(ish?) of my first skillet which is also a Lodge, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt; I'm still very green when it comes to cast iron. My procedure based on what I've learned on my own and have been told by others with more experience: I still don't use soap to wash. I just make sure the skillet is warm, and use hot water and a copper/brass/steel wool tk scrub. Just enough to get the "food material" off Wipe water off the bottom/outside of the skillet and put on stove on medium-ish heat and turn oven on a pretty low temp (like temp <250) When oven is preheated, I kill the stove and rub about a nickel-quarter size dot of oil into the entire skillet, inside and out. Place the oiled skillet in the oven for 30-45min. Heating the post wash skillet on the stove dries it out and "opens up" the pores of the metal, allowing the metal to "soak" into the skillet instead of just coating it. The 30-45min in the oven "bakes" the oil into the metal. I love my lodge so much I'm considering ditching all my other pans/skillets and going cast iron [/QUOTE]
