  With modern dish soap it’s fine to wash cast iron pans. I think “don’t wash cast iron with soap” is a throwback to old lye based soaps.

    Nah, it’s because the taste sticks and you shouldn’t scrub the layer of burned in away. The longer a cast-iron is in use the more of a unique taste it develops by itself, you can taste which cast-iron was used for cooking when you know them.

    I have three and can taste the difference.

    And no, its not dirty, its the intended use of cast-iron.

      Seasoning is not about taste. You’re just using a dirty pan if it has stuff burned onto it. Your pan should not be imparting any taste into your food.
