  Removing bits of rust and re-seasoning after every dishwasher cycle is a bit more works than just cleaning by hand tho

      Yeah. Hours more, unless you don’t mind the rust taste.

        Naw it’s like 5 min. Just scrub off the rusty bits with a steel sponge and then do one quick new layer of seasoning. The dishwasher won’t strip all the seasoning or anything

    Does the dishwasher even ruin seasoning anymore? Since soap stopped using lye I heard it’d pretty gentle on seasoning these days

      This. My dishwasher doesn’t seem to “strip” the pans. I rarely have to do more than heat a little oil and wipe it around the pans if they go through the dishwasher.

      A few years ago I had the bright idea to just use dishwasher powder for regular washing up. The cast iron pan kept needing to be reseasoned until I stopped doing that. I think that stuff might still have lye, or at least something harsh enough to mess up cast iron.

        Dishwasher grit is abrasive when it it is dry. I guess I assumed it was saturated into the water before it was sprayed on dishes but I dont really know.

        I use it to clean my bathtub. It works great, hope I’m not destroying anything

      yep, all of the mythos about having to baby delicate cast iron basically came from the era of lye soap. . soap isnt caustic anymore, so as long as you dry it when its done (or throw it in a warm oven to dry off) you’ll be fine.

      The prolonged water + heat is still bad. Last time my partner put it in there, the season was still on there, but didn’t feel as smooth anymore, and there were a few rusty spots.

  Yeah, let it soak! That’s great for the seasoning as well.
