Derek,
Check the posting Jan. 11, 05 that I did; Salad bowl finishes. I
believe it was George that said that bowls can be cleaned by using
table salt and paper to clean out the oil build up. (maybe it was
Arch). That is the way that you used to clean out the old cast iron
skillets. It emulsifys the fat/oil.

What do you mean "used to"? That's exactly how I clean my cast iron
skillet. Nothing beats a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Right now, it's
a toss-up for which kitchen item I have the greatest affection for...my 12"
cast iron skillet or my 5 qt. KitchenAid stand mixer.
