So, every great kitchen has got some
0:06
cast iron in it, whether it's a Dutch
0:07
oven or a skillet or a hot plate or
0:10
something uh like that. But the one
0:12
common thread with these things is they
0:14
get really really dirty and you can't
0:17
use soap and water uh on on cast iron
0:20
because it'll rust and you don't want
0:22
that. So, I'm going to show you
0:22
different ways to clean your cast iron
0:24
today. If you've got uh a cast iron item
0:27
that's really dirty and it's got some
0:28
stuck on stuff and you just can't get it
0:30
off, a good tip is to turn your oven on
0:33
to 325 and have a catch pan down inside
0:36
the oven to catch whatever's going to
0:39
fall off. And your oven is going to do
0:40
all the work here. Just turn the cast
0:42
iron over, put it into the oven, and
0:45
bake it for about an hour. And your oven
0:48
will do all the work. Another way to
0:50
clean your cast iron, and I like this
0:52
way as well, and it's also something you
0:54
should just be doing anyhow, is
0:56
vegetable oil. If you've got some nasty
0:58
stuck on items on your cast iron, a
1:01
tablespoon or so of vegetable oil on
1:02
there and wipe it with a paper towel or
1:05
a rag and it'll get those stuck on items
1:09
right off. Now, you're also
1:11
accomplishing the seasoning of the cast
1:14
iron, which is something you want to do
1:15
each time you use it. You want to season
1:16
your cast iron before you use it. One
1:18
more tip. This is the way I like to
1:21
iron. I take a coarse
1:27
salt and wipe it out. And that
1:30
roughness just scrapes out any extra
1:34
tough stuck on items you might have on
1:37
your cast iron. So remember the coarse
1:39
salt tip. That's a good one as well. But
1:41
if you season and take care of your cast
1:43
iron like I'm showing you right now, you
1:45
can pass this on for generations. In
1:47
fact, I've got some cast iron that
1:48
belonged to my grandmama Paul at my
1:50
house right now that I still use. So,
1:51
take care of your cast iron. Remember,
1:53
no soapy water because that'll make it
1:55
rust. And if you like this tip, stick

1:59
just like this right here on the Polyine
