    I recommend people use lye-based cleaners and put them in the dishwasher in a whim.

    You can throw a cast iron pan off a fucking roof, leave it in a wet ditch for 2 years, it won’t be harmed.

    Quarter teaspoon of oil rubbed in, be back to cooking.

      Sure but if you don’t use lye and just use dish soap, then you can skip that step and you keep cooking.

      Well if you leave it in a wet ditch for years it would rust and pit eventually. It doesn’t mean you couldn’t regrind the surface to get it smooth again, then seasoning to get it back into cooking form.
