Known for its durability, heat retention, and ability to withstand high temperatures, the cast-iron skillet is one of the most dependable tools in the kitchen. Able to cook everything from fried chicken to s'mores, there are few foods you can't cook in cast iron. So, how do you keep your Lodge or Le Creuset safe from wear, tear and rust? While caring for a cast-iron skillet can be a little more work than cleaning your average nonstick skillet or Dutch oven, knowing the aftercare routine is the first step in keeping this thing in top-notch shape for a long time.
