@dagda825 My pleasure. I LOVE my cast iron cookware. I've never used salt because the method I described below works like magic. If 1/2 cup cold water is too much... use less. After the "steam-cleaning" process cools the pan, you can rinse it with warm water in the sink if you like. (no soap please) Just place the clean pan back on the burner on low to dry, sterilize and heat for the thin coat of cooling oil.

@yakyakyak69 I learn something new every day. Thanks! It never occurred to me to steam clean my pans.

Salt is a waste of time and money!
If food sticks, heat the pan to med cooking temperature and add 1/2 cup of cold water. The pan will steam clean itself as you scrape the really hard parts away with a metal spatula. Be sure to wipe the crud out with a paper towel or sponge before all the water boils away. Repeat until the pan is clean & leave on heat until dry. Add veg oil to dry, warm pan & use paper towel to whipe out as much excess oil as you can.
Pan is now clean dry & seasoned!

It doesn't seem to be as complicated as all that to me. If you've got really heavy sticking, scrape it off with a metal spatula under hot water, then use a soap-less scrubber of some sort till the rest is gone, and rinse it out.

@BohemianBirth Then finish baking it in the oven. If you just put on oil and put it in the oven, it will form bumps and wells of goo that will come off and expose unseasoned cast iron. I know this from experience!

@BohemianBirth Yes. Check out chow's other video - "how to deal with rusty cast iron". However the video leaves out some very important things - make sure you put just enough oil on to coat the pan (inside and out, but don't coat the handle, you'll need to use it), put the pan upside down in the oven, with aluminum foil on a lower rack to catch oil (only drips if you put too much). After 10 minutes in the oven, use paper towels (on the end of tongs if you have to) to wipe off excess oil.

It's okay to use soap on a well-seasoned pan, and by well-seasoned I mean blackened with a nice smooth interior bottom. Just don't soak it too long or use abrasives like steel wool. Of course it takes a good bit of cooking to get it to that state. Just keep wiping it down with the cooking oil after each cleaning.
