    Does cast iron really take babying? I have a 12" cast iron skillet that’s pretty much the only pan I use, and I just scrub it with steel wool, get it hot again, then throw in some avocado oil. It takes like 60 seconds of work

      No, it doesn’t. But people think it does and will get really vocal about it if you, god forbid, get it super gross and need to rinse it out with some soap and water.

      That’s why I specified that it was peer pressure, not necessity. :)

      No, it doesn’t. I don’t even bother coating mine with oil, just a scrub with hot water and let it dry.
