4 days agoIdk I am pretty serious about clean for cast iron, i had many a diatribe on reddit about the difference between “soap” and soap and videos about how people keep their pans dirty.
That’s said, I was going to comment that your pans look young and then I read they are Griswolds and I wonder if your cleaning regimen is also removing your seasoning? I’m no expert, but my skillets don’t keep that brown color long after reseasoning. They also don’t leave any discoloration on a clean cloth if I scrub them out with one.
I think that is probably a good problem to have. Maybe I just use more oil then you. The blackening (and general “seasoning”) is from carbonizing oils. Idk. They look nice for sure.
