The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You’re right, acid is the enemy of seasoning, not soap. I do use soap on my cast iron sometimes, but mostly not because my normal method is to rinse and wipe the pan then put back on heat to dry and use the remaining oil to help keep the seasoning up and the soap would strip that thin layer.
I wouldn’t have expected dishwashing detergent to be acidic which is why I expected it to not be so bad. Also I don’t mind fixing a seasoning every now and then so I’m still pretty tempted.
For the acidic dishwasher stuff, typically no, but some of the stuff formulated for hard water is mildly acidic. I only know that because I have hard water, and tried it before just getting citric acid powder, which will also strip kiln-cured glass paint, and I lost a nice batch of brewery pint glasses learning that.
But I’m sure it’ll be fine, and if not it’s like a whole new pan! :p
