  I had to scroll way too far to find this. Chainmail, salt, water, wooden utensils, and whatever you season with (I use Crisco).

  Reading comments in this thread reminds me why I don’t let anyone use my cast iron.

    To be fair, that could just be how they interpreted the phrase “wiping out”

      I don’t think its misinterpreted. I do the same thing with one of these to get stuck on food bits out:

      I’m not sure how this could “destroy the pan” considering the stainless steel links have a Brinell hardness of 217 and the grey cast iron (the pan’s metal) has a Brinell hardness of 235, the pan will scratch the stainless steel links before the stainless steel links scratches the pan.

      After that I wash out the path with liquid dish soap, then put the pan on the inductive stove to bring it up to boil away any remaining water on the pan.

        To be honest I know nothing about… any cookware, really, and just took the comment above me at face value.
