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.

I have 2 cast iron pans each about a decade old. They have great
seasoning, and I regularly clean them with a weak detergent solution and
a soft brush.


Everyone has their collecting vices. *Mine is cast iron. *I've got
well over 40 pieces. *Including me, I've got 4 generations worth.
They ALL get cleaned with soap. *My older Wagner and Griswold pans are
the choice always used for eggs. *Just as non-stick as anything else
without the chemical smell.

I've got well over 40 pieces (of cast iron)

Did you have to beef up your floor joists to support all that weight?

They're not all in the same place. But you're right. They are heavy.
