Exactly!

So many people get all silly about cleaning cast iron.

My favorite example of silliness is using salt. I tried it once and
found it useless.


That's the only way I clean my cast iron pan. I use coarse kosher salt and a
paper towel. I only use the pan for eggs, and always at medium heat levels,
so stuff never gets REALLY stuck on. Salt works fine.
