What are some tips for cleaning a cast iron skillet?

A cast iron skillet should not be put in the dishwasher, actually you should avoid cleaning your skillet with soapy water anytime. Soaking in water will cause the iron to rust, and soap will strip the oil/polymer seasoning right off the skillet. The best way to clean your cast iron pan is would be to boil some hot water in the skillet, let it soak for awhile, depending on how dirty it is, then wipe away any residue with a paper towel.

Always use a soft scrubber or maybe a real soft rag, never use steel wool or a brillo pad this will strip an scratch your pan. Once you have used the tips already discussed, all of that old dirt should simply wipe away with a clean towel.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
