I actually wash the non-cast-iron dishes by hand with a sponge and don't really know how to use a dishwasher.
Curing a cast iron skillet with oil and a heated oven can actually be fairly time consuming.
I know right? Those cast iron skillets can so mischievous and sneak into the diswasher when you're at work.
Bill Schneider thanks, but I just wash dishes in the sink by hand with a sponge. I rarely clean the cast iron skillet except with a plastic brush.
Usually I will fry meat with a generous helping (a few tablespoons) of beef tallow, and drain all of the liquid tallow onto the beef when I'm done cooking it. Great for carnivore diets, beef tallow is healthy and keeps the cast iron skillet cured.
The whole procedure of cleaning the cast iron can be time consuming, so scraping it out every now and again with a plastic scrubber brush and then re-curing it with oil and heat is good enough for me.
have you tried adding a bit of Borax in your washing machine?
Aaron P. As requested. Always happy to help : )
(The comments to the Blinker Fluid video are incredibly helpful.)
will they cure me by rubbing me with oil and heating me in an oven?
Mrinal K. always happy to help out others : )
so ... wash, rinse, repeat ?

Glenn R. but then we would have to choose between an automatic vegetable oil smart cycle dishwasher, and an automatic animal fat smart cycle dishwasher.
I prefer manually applying beef tallow. Many others like olive oil, though.

Glenn R. genetically modified Tide pods sound totally healthy to eat.

doing it right. 👍
Good to know. No worries, I'll get over it somehow.
what I find really amusing is some people who are unfamiliar with some of my blatherings here, think I'm being serious about putting cast iron in a dishwasher with extra soap.
indeed : )
usually I wait till Saturday to start my "less than serious" posts here on LinkedIn. But I just haven't stopped since last weekend.
I'm trying to get back during the weekday to my usual serious rants about global oil & gas and energy, but writing stupidly silly deadpan replies to the amusing comments here can be so much fun : )
The world is getting crazier, and I need to laugh at silly stuff to stay sane.
CIPP/US CIPM FIP PMP yep, works like a charm, and prolongs the lfe of the pan.
It's also green and environmentally friendly, due to increasing the cast iron pan's anti-corrosion mechanical properties.
don't use a sewing machine to make a dress while wearing said dress in progress.
kerosene is great for cleaning off grease and battling corrosion. Tastes great too.
use of napalm is highly encouraged. It is environmentally friendly, and pairs well with hot cast iron, to simply burn off that pesky grease and sludge.
Bonus, burning napalm will kill germs inside your dishwasher. So win-win.
Thomas Adams taste is a matter of taste.
Personally, I like spicy. Napalm burns going down and gives me the runs, but dang, that taste though ...
But Brawndo's got what pots crave...
