Cast Iron Care Chart
| Choice | Best for | When it works | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food stuck on | Scraper or chainmail | Scrape while warm and dry completely | Avoid long soaking |
| Flash rust | Dry and oil | Heat-dry then wipe with thin oil | Do not store damp |
| Flaking seasoning | Reset thin layers | Scrub loose flakes and reseason lightly | Avoid thick oil coats |
| Smoke | Clean residue and lower oil heat | Use high-smoke-point oil | Old buildup burns fast |
| Hot handle | Handle cover | Add silicone or cloth protection | Assume cast iron handles are hot |
