Cast iron is a great material for cooking because it retains heat well and is non-stick. However, cast iron can become dirty over time. Here are four ways to clean cast iron:

  1. Use a degreaser. Cast iron can be cleaned with a degreaser, such as oven cleaner or dishwashing soap. Be sure to rinse it off thoroughly before using it again.
  2. Use a scrub brush. Cast iron can also be cleaned with a scrub brush, which will remove the dirt and food residue from the surface. Again, be sure to rinse it off thoroughly before using it again.
  3. Use hot water and soap. Cast iron can also be cleaned with hot water and soap, which will remove the dirt and food residue from the surface and any built-up grease or oil. Again, be sure to rinse it off thoroughly before using it again.
  4. Use a steel wool pad and hot water. If all of the above methods fail to clean cast iron properly, try using a steel wool pad soaked in hot water instead of soap or degreaser ..
