This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This has been my experience with cast iron. There's so, so, so much conflicting information on them. Even in this thread.

I wish the Mythbusters would come back just to test via experimentation all these conflicting claims.

The water one is definitely false. You just have to dry it and add cooking oil right away.

Steel wool or a Brillo pad, on the other hand ...

I didn't even always add oil afterwards. I just wash it then stick it on the stove on low to dry it while I unload and reload the dishwasher or whatever.

My wife does hate that I'm fine with my cast iron living in the stove though.

Put it in the oven. No worries if you turn it on and forget it was in there compared to a pan of brownies with a plastic lid.. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀
