Do You Wash Your Frying Pan?

[Purwell]

I don't wash mine I just wipe it with kitchen paper.

 

[Lee]

I am curious Purwell why you do not wash them, certainly stuck on food needs soap and water.

I wash all my pans, some stainless, some non stick.

 

[Purwell]

It's the soap that makes food stick.

I do the same with cast iron, but other pans I wash. Sometimes I let the dog "pre-clean" them

 

[Aunt Bea]

I wash my cast iron pans and dry them over an open flame on the stove.

 

[hollydolly]

I definitely wash all my pans..

 

[jet]

[SeaBreeze]

I wash mine, including the heavy black cast iron fry pan.

All my frying pans get washed. I no longer have a cast iron pan because my husband insisted on washing it. It was easier to dispose of it than argue about something unimportant.

I spray my frying pan first with degreaser, wipe with a paper towel, then wash it with dish detergent and the hottest water I can. Sometimes I'll put the small one in my countertop dishwasher, but always spray and prewash it first. I use non-stick spray to avoid having food stick to the pan.

All of our pans are good high quality Non-Stick. We wash them after each use, and they usually last several years.

Well...that grossed me out! You can tell I'm not a dog owner, right?

As far as I know the 5 second rule doesn't apply to frying pans. Washing them in warm soapy water is routine for us. When it comes to cast iron, same warm soapy water then dry completely & season lightly with canola oil. <--- eliminates rust by seasoning again.

I love my Lodge pan. I have the flat pan without the sides. I don't usually wash it, just wipe it out. If I do wash it, I put oil on it right away. These come pre-seasoned.

This is one entertaining and enthusiastic man when it comes to cast iron.

I find absolutely nothing wrong with that! I'll bet the pups love it too.

 

[MountainRa]

I wash all my frying pans but I never use soap on the cast iron ones.

 

[Timewise 60+]

Yes, all except the cast iron frying pans. They get scrubbed with a brush (not metal) and washed in hot water, then dried and put away.

 

[Chet]

If cast iron frying pans are washed in soap and water they will rust. I found that out the hard way.

 

[Lawrence]

We wash our frying pans I thought it was ok to wash a cast iron pan as long as you applied new cooking oil on it and then maybe heated it up again on the stove again to let the oil set in.

 

[RadishRose]

I don 't use the black cast iron pan anymore. I use an enameled cast iron pan now.

I used to wash the old one like anything else, but dry and heat on the stove to make sure it's totally dry. Never rusted.

I don't have that problem. Maybe because I dry them then season them again right away with canola oil.
