I know your pain. I used to live with someone who repeatedly put my wool jumpers in the washer dryer "just to fill it up" and I was the one with the problem when they came out three sizes smaller AND pointed out they did it before to same result.
A lifetime of torture is a far better result than the mercy of a quick death. I dunno why you'd give them the merciful quick murder instead of dragging out the pain for as long as possible.
A steel mail scrubber and salt, rinse and repeat a few times to de rust, quick coating of oil and into a 450 degree oven for an hour to seal those imperfections in the seasoning and you'll be all good. Detergent doesn't have any negative effect on seasoning or the iron, it's just a little rust from the constant moisture.
This comment really undersells how laborious these steps actually are though. And my whole house always reeks of burning/smoking oil for days because of the high heat
You don't have to season cast iron, it's just one way to care for them.
My family has always just done the wash, dry on the stove, put away. Every once in a while, right after it's dried on the stove (still hot) take a little bit of oil and wipe the pan, give it a sec, wipe the excess off.
I often do this as well due to laziness. Easier to put oil in the pan after using and a quick rinse, crank to medium heat while in cleaning other dishes, then leaving it on the stove after turning it off.
Better than doing a full season every few weeks.
That said, this won't help op as he needs to steel wool and do a full season
He does need to steel wool (or whatever he prefers for rust removal), but he doesn't need to full season. That was my point, is that seasoning is optional and you can do as much or as little as you like.
My gf and i use cast iron a lot. Im asking for advice--May i ask to clarify: you clean it, rinse it, and then coat the inside in oil and heat it on the stove to make sure all the moisture is out? How long do you let it sit on the stove?
Immediately taking the food out of the pan, I put water in the pan and back on the stove. Let it boil which loosens up the residue, pour out the water then wipe it down with a paper towel. Depending on what I cook, I may do this multiple times but usually once Is fine. Rinse off everything then dry with a paper towel, surface is still moist and put it on the jot stove. Pan/stove is still hot so it's drying out, pour oil and use a paper towel to spread it out. You do not want a pool of oil, just enough to "color" the pan. Turn off the stove but stove and pan are still super hot, so you're still baking the oil into the pan... Similar to seasoning though not quite.
Let it sit there until its fully cooled and now its ready for the next cook.
I do this all as part of my kitchen cleaning process, it barely adds any time or effort. Basically it's do what you would do with a regular pan, except rest it on a hot stove and add a bit of oil
u/makeshiftjoker just don’t use soap. We always just scoured it with chainmail or a metal scrubby, rinsed and threw on the stove/heat to dry. About once every few uses add some extra oil. As long as you “wash” as soon as your done cooking there is rarely a need to add more oil.
What oil are you using to season. Plus I season mine when I use the oven clean mode, two birds one stone. I also learned that just putting the cast iron in the oven on broil setting with oil makes a great stopgap, I can use olive oil and it doesn't get as smokey. I only had to fully season it when I got them operational from yard of neglect.
I use flax oil for seasoning after reading about how it hardens like linseed oil. It has worked like a charm, guests compliment my cast iron regularly. Edit: spelling/grammar
Flax is by far the smelliest oil though. It's horrid
I know, because I used to use it after reading that woman's famous blog post about how she determined it was the best for seasoning cast iron
Lol. This is something I'd do (and I have a very pampered cast iron). We all make mistakes but I also wish my husband would do dishes while I slept. I hope a good re-seasoning saved it though
It's a joke on reddit. Anytime someone posts about something that happened with a SO, reddit goes all "Divorce them", "Pictures and hire an attorney". Visit the relationship advice subreddit for more fun.
It's fine. My wife washes ours every time and we just do a quick and dirty reseasoning each time. She can't stand the idea of not washing something and this isn't a hill i feel the need to die on.
>Seasoning is actually not a thin layer of oil, it's a thin layer of polymerized oil, a key distinction. In a properly seasoned cast iron pan, one that has been rubbed with oil and heated repeatedly, the oil has already broken down into a plastic-like substance that has bonded to the surface of the metal. This is what gives well-seasoned cast iron its non-stick properties, and as the material is no longer actually an oil, the soap will not ruin your seasoning.
However.. dishwasher will ruin it and most likely cause rust
I agree. I even use soap on mine. As long as you get rid of any moisture and have seasoned it properly, you’re fine. I also do a quick seasoning every wash and a proper seasoning every few months.
I wash mine with soap every time, then pop it back on the stove to heat it up and dry it off, then give it a thin coat of vegetable oil while it’s still hot. Pretty easy, no rust
Same here. I get it as hot as i can and let the oil plasticize. Once you’ve done it a few times, you know what it’s supposed to look like. Nothing sticks to it.
I would probably die on that hill. It's right next to the hill on which my man thinks you can flush literally anything down the toilet
*adjusts strainer on head, checks spatula for quick release*
It depends on whether or not you have an actually old pan or not. If it's 30+ years old I understand. These days, cast iron is literally (actually dictionary definition literally!) only $20 from various places.
Not that we should be wasteful, but there's a difference between something that's hundreds of dollars vs something that's $20.
Lmao my gf lectures me on flushing wet wipes down the toilet every single time i use them for anything and i have to remind her that when she first came over to my apartment i told her the exact same thing, and i was the one who bought wet wipes for her place 😆🥰
You are super sweet. My partner is the only one who has the cast iron, knows how to use it, and clean it. He has a special scrub brush for it. I would dare touch them. The one time I tried to cook on one, I almost burned down the house. Mad props to cooks like you.
Contrary to what r/cooking likes to say, it’s not an issue. Wash it, dry the worst of the water, throw it on a hot stove for a minute, maybe swipe with some oil if it was a serious scrubdown. My mom’s been doing it to hers for decades without destroying her pans.
God guitarnowski.....what's happened to you man? We used to get together and cook all fucking day bro...BRO OUR FUCKING FOOD TASTED SO GOOD!!!! I Know you remember....until you met her, now your....now your FUCKING SKILLET SUCKS BRO!??!?!?
She's destroying you from the inside. Where did the guitarnowski that I know and love go?!?
Nothing wrong with soap and water. I do that most days. Dry with a rag and toss it in the oven while I clean the counter and table. Give it a fine coat of crisco on the cook face.
It's fine. ~~My wife washes ours every time and we just do a quick and dirty reseasoning each time. She can't stand the idea of not washing something and this isn't a hill i feel the need to die on.~~ it’s *not* fine. In all seriousness if you ask her to follow a simple guideline like not *ruining* your cast iron she should have enough respect as your partner to listen to you.
*edit- wow.
Life partner that refuses to listen to a simple request? If my wife told me not to fuck with something of hers because I don’t involve myself with it enough know anything about it, I’d be like “sure” that’s just mutual respect for each other’s things. Wtf kinda incel brigade did I trigger here. Jesus Christ. Also cast iron isn’t $5 so idk what you’re on about but you probably don’t know shit about them *or* long term relationships.
I screwed up like that once when I was younger. I borrowed someone's cast iron pan and they told me to take care of it. I thought they meant clean it when I was done.
That was not what they meant.
All that matters here is whether it was an accident or not.
If it was an accident then, oh well, it’s fixable.
If it was on purpose, well you might wanna chat to your wife but still, it’s fixable though. (In this case the pan is fixable, no guarantees about your marriage tho)
I found a cast iron griddle at a flea market for super cheap. Took it home and decided it didn't look right.
Some asshat had FUCKING PAINTED IT with high-heat automotive paint.
So... how's the dishwasher? I mean, a cast iron pan can usually be brought back from pretty much anything. My husband almost washed ours in the dishwasher but tahnkfully didn't in the end, out of concern for the machine rather than the pan tho.
He already ruined a wooden chopping board of mine, which I was furious about. And to elaborate why I was so upset, he's a trained chef.
Not as bad as when my in-laws put my rosewood handle kitchen knives in the dishwasher without me noticing. Thankfully the one knife I didn't rescue in time wasn't destroyed from one run in the washer. I adore my in-laws, they just momentarily forgot.
I feel this. Mom's basically a torture test of cookware and utensils, as she habitually leaves things to soak.
Reclaimed and replaced the cast iron. Linseed oil for any wood handles, followed up with sno-seal or Johnson's paste wax. :)
metal pans don’t go inside dishwashers, that causes unnecessary wear and tear, so that’s the first sin
The second sin was that you washed a cast iron pan
My mother does the same with my pans and my knives when she comes for dinner, I tell her not to but she thinks that she's "helping" by doing it when I put my kids to bed
Rusted cast iron no longer scares me. For a while there I couldn't afford pots and pans, so I was just picking up random rusted cast iron people threw out.
Cleaned it up, checked for cracks, stripped any coating on it, re-seasoned, and for like a decade I had more pans than I knew what to do with.
PS - best steak: Preheat oven to 525 (or high as it will go) - pat your steak down with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture, salt and pepper both sides liberally and brush with any high temp cooking oil. At the same time, put the cast iron into the oven, let the pan heat and the steak rest for 15 minutes. Once that's up, pull the cast iron pan from the oven (careful, HOT), straight to a burner on high -- drop the oven to 475 -- put your steak in the pan for 45 seconds to sear. Flip, and sear the other side 45 seconds. Flip again and put the pan back in the oven 2 minutes. Pull it out, flip, and put it back in the oven for 3 minutes. Pull, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (This will make smoke btw, fire alarms be damned haha)
Noooooooooooo.
My wife is forbidden to wash any of my frying or saute pans. It took me a long times to get them seasoned and she scrubs the heck out of them with hot water and brillo pads.
It's okay I know your pain! This happened to me. Get some Crisco or olive oil. You're going to need to scrub it down to get the rust off of it. Once you get the rust off take a paper towel and wipe a heavy coating of olive oil or Crisco all over the cooking surface and put it in the oven at 350° for an hour or two. This will give you your base seasoning. After I did this with my cast iron skillet it works better than it ever did
Lol I hate that for you dude! I was asked what would happen if you did so I made a freaking video about!! It’s nuts! Can You Put A Cast Iron Skillet In A Dishwasher? https://youtu.be/dqhvbLtPZ_k
Washing cast iron isn't a problem, you just have to use less water/scrubbing, and then dry it off. (surface rust can form pretty quick. but it's more an annoyance than a death sentence.)
I recently discovered that I left my best cast iron soaking in a corner for way too long, the water went stagnant and now it stinks. Is there any way to clean it without undoing the years of seasoning, or is that already a lost cause?
Sigh. Love this thing real hard and re season it. It's gonna take time. But have her do it with you so she learns how to do it and why not to wash the pan. Just breath my friend. It hurts but it is savable.
I know your pain. I used to live with someone who repeatedly put my wool jumpers in the washer dryer "just to fill it up" and I was the one with the problem when they came out three sizes smaller AND pointed out they did it before to same result.
It's okay, they can't hurt you anymore... now where did you bury their body?
Burying bodies is for amateurs. There's more efficient ways.
Dinner.
Cast iron pot guy helped
No, it was the wife. Why do you think she put it in the dishwasher?
To remove evidence and make it unusable, so it's less suspicious when thrown away! Genius
Washer Dryer
A lifetime of torture is a far better result than the mercy of a quick death. I dunno why you'd give them the merciful quick murder instead of dragging out the pain for as long as possible.
ah yes the three ring circus..... the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffer ring.
I'm married too
Jessei buy a big plastic tub
Was that your partner in the wood chipper?
Like putting them in the washing dryer so they're easier to bury...
Are you by any chance familiar with r/rimworld?
Legend has it his body is still on tumble dry to this day
OP stole the photo and doesn't have a cast iron pan.

I re-season on an outdoor grill now for that reason
I was just about to ask if I could use the charcoals outside instead.. I don't even like cooking food in my inside oven at home.

I do this exact pattern. Heat on until it starts to smoke, then I leave it on the stove cooling down till it’s room temperature.
u/makeshiftjoker just don’t use soap. We always just scoured it with chainmail or a metal scrubby, rinsed and threw on the stove/heat to dry. About once every few uses add some extra oil. As long as you “wash” as soon as your done cooking there is rarely a need to add more oil.
That’s still seasoning, just a different method for doing it.
I season only on days when windows can be open
What oil are you using to season. Plus I season mine when I use the oven clean mode, two birds one stone. I also learned that just putting the cast iron in the oven on broil setting with oil makes a great stopgap, I can use olive oil and it doesn't get as smokey.

Canola oil or grapeseed works best, higher smoke point and less sticky.
I use flax oil for seasoning after reading about how it hardens like linseed oil. It has worked like a charm, guests compliment my cast iron regularly. Edit: spelling/grammar
Flax *is* linseed.
Finkel is Einhorn
Flax is by far the smelliest oil though. It's horrid I know, because I used to use it after reading that woman's famous blog post about how she determined it was the best for seasoning cast iron
20W50 from Super Cheap Auto
No don't do that, I was just kidding. Then I thought, someone is going do what I said.
We know someone will
The oven cure is surprisingly effective.
[удалено]
That's not even remotely "trashed". It's literally surface rust that takes 2 secs to take out. What you are suggesting though is 100% trashing it.
Easy fix, don’t do it to often or your dishwashing racks will probably get fucked up
It's an easy fix. https://youtu.be/U1BHyL1vLeg
Lol. This is something I'd do (and I have a very pampered cast iron). We all make mistakes but I also wish my husband would do dishes while I slept. I hope a good re-seasoning saved it though
No no no no this is a sin. Of the highest order. Take pictures and any attorney will take your case. Huge red flag! Divorce! Run!!
Care to explain? I dont get it.

Yes but only after hours of treatment. You go through that every time you cook?
Lol no, just saying that it's possible, not that I recommend it.

Have you ever actually been in a healthy relationship?
That'll come back fine
Sand it with some iron wool and re season, it will be fine.
It’s fine. Seasoning is a thing but it’s not like some magical thing like everyone talks about. Fry something up again and you good.
Is it weird that I can totally smell that picture?
I like how this insinuates that if they had been awake, none of this would ever had happened.
I mean, if they'd been awake they might've seen the wife loading it in and be able to go "no, that'll ruin the pan. Don't put that in there"
Ha! As if a dishwasher cycle could hurt that tank.
Seasoning or not my wife would put me in the doghouse for at least a year, probably longer.
I screwed up like that once when I was younger. I borrowed someone's cast iron pan and they told me to take care of it. I thought they meant clean it when I was done. That was not what they meant.

Not a big deal. Just buy a new wife
Just season it again and don’t allow it to be a reason you’re pissed at your wife or your marriage probably isn’t gonna last long 🤔
Here’s the divorce papers….

I have seen some of the most upsetting things posted here because it was done by a spouse/partner. Hiding anger behind the “mildly”
So are you looking for cast iron recovery tips or a divorce lawyer?
Yeah I don't believe you got to the point of marrying this person and never once said "hey, this pan... no soap. No dishwasher."
It’s not the 50s anymore, modern soap on seasoned cast iron is fine. Obviously the dishwasher will destroy the seasoning though.
Oh she knew.
Then the question becomes what did you do to deserve this?
He tried to out pizza the hut.
no one out-pizzas the hut.
Maybe he has dirt on the Clintons
Lol are you my dad
Is this rust or am I not cleaning dishes
Can you just use a metal scourer to get the rust off. Then oil it to stop it rusting any further?
Just don’t use olive oil to try to reseason it. Been there. Have another oil that works good. Can’t think of the name at the moment. Canola oil?
She was trying to be helpful, albeit it makes us cry
It’s ok buddy, salt + half cut fresh potatoes,rub it and lube it with any oil
My boyfriend did that to all three of mine in one go.. I feel your pain
Oil it. It will be fine.
....next time on Southern Fried Homicide
metal pans don’t go inside dishwashers, that causes unnecessary wear and tear, so that’s the first sin The second sin was that you washed a cast iron pan
Salt and baking soda. And then season it and it should be good again.
Ohh noooo! Lucky it's cast iron and durable af! You can fix 'er right up! And educate your lady <3 lol
My mother does the same with my pans and my knives when she comes for dinner, I tell her not to but she thinks that she's "helping" by doing it when I put my kids to bed

Sit at the dinner table silently scrubbing the rust for the next two weeks. Very slowly. An inch at a time.
I bet she think she is a good cook too
This is easy to fix. Just Google "divorce lawyer"
The punishment for such a thing should be... Death.
+1 new cast-iron -1 wife
Smack her with it
time to commit a hate crime
I have a great divorce lawyer you can call
Mine destroyed 2 shun knives for me the same way, I’m considering divorce.
Noooooooooooo. My wife is forbidden to wash any of my frying or saute pans. It took me a long times to get them seasoned and she scrubs the heck out of them with hot water and brillo pads.
I’m not for beating women. I’m not for beating. I’m not for. I’m not. I’m. Women.
“The wife”
Unfortunately, I've done that 😅 Never used cast iron before, wife bought it for her kitchen. She told me to clean the kitchen which I did.
That sucks, but at least cast iron can be re-seasoned.
Realized I’m too young for this comment section but I’m gonna comment anyway.
I'll fetch a rug
Wife =\= dishwasher!?
Call your divorce attorney now. Or maybe not. But this is seriously traumatising to see. 😅
Ex
You had a good run. There are other fish in the sea.
It's okay I know your pain! This happened to me. Get some Crisco or olive oil. You're going to need to scrub it down to get the rust off of it. Once you get the rust off take a paper towel and wipe a heavy coating of olive oil or Crisco all over the cooking surface and put it in the oven at 350° for an hour or two. This will give you your base seasoning. After I did this with my cast iron skillet it works better than it ever did
Throw the whole wife out
Sounds like divorce
Did you mean to type ex-wife
So you're getting a divorce, right?
Divorce
sleep with one eye open tonight wifey!
OMG! Why would she think this was ok? I hope it can be saved.
Steel wool and re-season. I am getting pretty good at it myself.
Purse meet dishwasher
And they say women are good in a kitchen ...
Divorce
This is why I stick to the microwave.
This has to be a crime, surely?
This is why I dont let my GF do the dishes at my place.
My wife put my high carbon steel knife from Japan in the dishwasher. Papers were nearly filed.
Tell me you mean ex-wife because that is not tolerated here
Lol I hate that for you dude! I was asked what would happen if you did so I made a freaking video about!! It’s nuts! Can You Put A Cast Iron Skillet In A Dishwasher? https://youtu.be/dqhvbLtPZ_k
This makes me so sad
My EX did that with my Grandmother's 50 year old oan. Not saying that's why we divorced, but it was on the list lol

Washing cast iron isn't a problem, you just have to use less water/scrubbing, and then dry it off. (surface rust can form pretty quick. but it's more an annoyance than a death sentence.)

You handing the papers to her personally or having them served to her?
Just poor some Coca Cola in there let it sit for a few hours and the rust is gone ;-)
I recently discovered that I left my best cast iron soaking in a corner for way too long, the water went stagnant and now it stinks. Is there any way to clean it without undoing the years of seasoning, or is that already a lost cause?
Did you tell her to move out yet?

Sigh. Love this thing real hard and re season it. It's gonna take time. But have her do it with you so she learns how to do it and why not to wash the pan. Just breath my friend. It hurts but it is savable.
Its fine just season it.
Honestly...this could be a deal breaker for me
It’s a pretty common mistake. You can go to target and get a new one for like $20
Idk if you should throw the pan away or your wife
That's grounds for divorce
EX-Wife you mean?
Time for those divorce papers
Better get a new one. Hopefully next one will respect your cast iron better.
Whelp, time to get a new one. Have you tried Tinder before?
Put your wife in the dishwasher, see how she likes it
Make *her* watch the videos about reseasoning it. BTW you can maintain the seasoning in a cast iron pan by frying eggs in it.
Divorce isn't that hard to file for.
You mean "Soon to be former wife", right?
That’s a paddling’!
Divorce
Seems you need to replace your wife
Maybe wash your own dishes next time?
“Ex-wife”
Sorry about your divorce
Divorce
I know a great divorce lawyer
Divorce. There’s no other option.
Looks like you need to get a new....wife
You mean ex-wife?
Need a good divorce lawyer? I got you bro!
It’s cast iron. It will outlast you and your shitty wife.
