Remove Grease<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For easier cleaning, clean your cast iron cookware while it is still warm, but not too hot to handle. Since you can\u2019t soak cast iron in water (it will rust), cleaning while it\u2019s still warm is the easiest way to remove stuck-on food. Start the cleaning process by pouring any grease from the skillet into a container for disposal.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Wipe with a Paper Towel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fold a paper towel and then wipe the skillet to remove any bits of grime and grease.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Wash by Hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Always wash your cast iron by hand using hot water and a soft sponge to gently scrub. Avoid steel wool or soap because it will strip the pan\u2019s seasoning. And, whatever you do, never put it in the dishwasher.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Remove Stuck-on Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To remove food stuck to the cookware, scrub with a paste of kosher salt and water using a soft sponge. Then rinse or wipe with a paper towel. Very stubborn food can be loosened by boiling water in the pan, then gently scrubbing once cooled.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Dry Cast Iron Cookware<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once the cookware is clean, thoroughly dry with a paper towel or lint-free cloth towel. To prevent rusting, your cast iron skillet must be completely dry before storing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Using a paper towel, apply a light coat of vegetable oil to the clean, dry cast iron cookware. Now, put the skillet over medium heat on the stove top and allow the oil to cook off slightly (about 5 minutes). This step will ensure your cast iron remains essentially non-stick and is ready to use again!<\/p>\n<p>Now, you have a clean and seasoned cast iron skillet to cook your next Omaha Steaks or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/buy\/Meats\/Gourmet-Burgers?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">juicy burger<\/a>!<\/p>\n<div class=\"prod-block\"><div class=\"prod-container\"><a class=\"prod-link-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Butcher%27s-Cut-Filet-Mignons-4-6-oz-03141?SRC=RZ0638\" title=\"Omaha Steaks Butcher&#039;s Cut Filet Mignons 4 Pieces 6 oz Per Piece\" aria-label=\"Omaha Steaks Butcher&#039;s Cut Filet Mignons 4 Pieces 6 oz Per Piece\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><div style=\"position:relative;\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Omaha Steaks Butcher's Cut Filet Mignons 4 Pieces 6 oz Per Piece\" data-original=\"https:\/\/assets.omahasteaks.com\/transform\/9d8a89d1-ad19-4d30-ba8d-d72d8b6aa6d2\/s_fm_375c?io=transform%3Acrop%2Cwidth%3A1600%2Cheight%3A1600&io=transform%3Afill%2Cwidth%3A500%2Cheight%3A500\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.omahasteaks.com\/transform\/9d8a89d1-ad19-4d30-ba8d-d72d8b6aa6d2\/s_fm_375c?io=transform%3Acrop%2Cwidth%3A1600%2Cheight%3A1600&io=transform%3Afill%2Cwidth%3A500%2Cheight%3A500\"><\/div><div class=\"border_b mar_t_xs\">\t<div class=\"prod-title\">Omaha Steaks Butcher's Cut Filet Mignons 4 Pieces 6 oz Per Piece<\/div>\t<div class=\"clearfix pad_b_xxs\">\t\t<div class=\"prod-desc\">\u00a0\u00a0\t\t\t<span class=\"sku_num os_txt_p_m float_r\">#3141WCV<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearfix\">\t<div class=\"clearfix mar_t_xs\">\t\t<div class=\"sku_price_pre os_style_s os_ress os_txt_action os_style_lhf\"><\/div>\t\t<div>\t\t\t<span class=\"prod-price\">$104.99<span class=\"os_style\">\u00a0|\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"sku_savings_tt noselect os_style\">save 48% <span class=\"icon-savings\"><\/span><\/span><\/span>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div><\/a><div>\t<div class=\"clearfix mar_t_xs\">\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/shop\/Shopping-Cart?ACTN=3&amp;IID=3141&amp;qty=1&amp;dsp=6&amp;SRC=RZ0638\" title=\"add to cart\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"prod-button\"><span class=\"icon-cooler\"><\/span> Add<\/div><\/a>\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Cast Iron Skillet Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><strong>What Foods Should You Avoid Cooking in a Cast Iron Skillet?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Cast iron is a great for most foods, but avoid acidic foods, like tomatoes, lemon juice, wine, or vinegar. The high level of acid in the food can react with the metals in the pan, strip the seasoning, and give your food an undesirable metallic flavor.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How Do You Maintain Seasoning on Cast Iron Cookware?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The more you cook with your cast iron skillet, the more seasoned it will become. Try using your cast iron to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-pan-sear-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">pan-sear a steak indoors<\/a> or to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/grilling-with-a-cast-iron-skillet\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">cook burgers on the grill<\/a> (the burgers will be incredibly juicy). Always make sure to clean it properly and lightly season after each use to ensure it lasts a lifetime.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>When Should You Re-Season a Cast Iron Skillet?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Using your cast iron skillet regularly with proper maintenance and cleaning should be enough to keep the seasoning intact. However, If you stripped the seasoning during the cooking process (acidic foods like tomatoes have a tendency to strip the seasoning) or the cleaning process, simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-and-season-your-cast-iron-pan\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">follow these steps to re-season it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Can You Restore and Re-Season a Rusty Cast Iron Pan?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Unless your cast iron pan is completely rusted through, you can easily restore it to its former glory!
