My soap-free method for cleaning cast iron skillets uses three items you already have in your kitchen
A CONTENT creator has shared his hack for cleaning a cast iron skillet using three kitchen items.
The influencer revealed that he avoids dish soap entirely when cleaning the pan.
TikTok user Andy Rosen explained the trick he uses “all the time” on his podcast Nobody’s Listening, Right? (@nobodyslisteningright).
In the video, the TikToker asked his co-host and wife Elizabeth if he could take “30 seconds to tell people how to take care of their cast iron skillet.”
Andy continued: “This is how you do it after you cook in your cast iron skillet, rinse it off with just water.”
The content creator then revealed that he uses kosher salt to clean his cast iron skillet.
“With the paper towel, rub the kosher salt around,” Andy told his viewers.
“That’ll get all the food out because it’s coarse salt, it scrapes the stuff away,” he explained.
Andy continued: “Then rinse the salt out and put it on a burner at medium heat for 60 seconds.
“Turn off the burner, spray some canola oil on it, and wipe it,” the influencer said.
The podcasting duo included a clip of the hack being demonstrated for their followers.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“This is what I do but I use chain mail instead of paper towel for those tough bits,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “Thank you for the information, my cast iron starting to rust.”
“That’s how I’ve done it for decades,” commented a third person.
