You should avoid washing and rinsing it as much as possible, especially avoiding soap. When food sticks, I usually just soak it, scrub it using a loofah, and then dry it over a hot burner or in a high-temperature oven.

I saw one guy on YouTube who scrubbed his out using salt. I think I'm going to start using this technique, because it avoids water altogether.

I got a chain mail cloth thing that does a pretty decent job of getting the pan clean without using soap. When it fails I use steel wool that doesn’t come pre-soaped.

Chain mail and dish detergent every time. Usually just needs a quick wipe, then dry with a paper towel.

Occasionally something sticks but you’re already set to scrub. In that case, you’ll need to touch up the seasoning after
