Oh, no. Did I just ruin my cast iron?
0:08
Soap will ruin your cast iron.
0:11
Is that a myth or a fact? Truth or a
0:13
lie? Many years ago, sure, soap was
0:16
really hard on cast iron because it
0:18
contained very harsh chemical known as
0:20
lye, which would strip away your
0:22
seasoning right at the start. But now,
0:25
as time has progressed, soap is [music]
0:27
not near as harsh as it used to be. So,
0:30
is soap going to hurt your cast iron?
0:34
Do you really need it?
0:35
I don't think so. The only time I use
0:38
soap on cast iron is if it is a brand
0:39
new skillet or a Dutch oven. I'm going
0:41
to get the chemical residue off of it
0:43
that come from the factory. The other is
0:45
an old Dutch oven that I got that fries
0:47
fish [music] only, and it gets cleaned
0:49
with soap every time after that and then
0:51
dried over heat and re-seasoned. Now, my
0:54
dear sweet mother, God rest her soul,
0:56
used to put her cast iron skillet in the
1:02
>> Now, you can't really tell your mother
1:04
what to do. You sure can't tell her no
1:05
on something like that, but I don't
1:08
recommend [music] you do that. No, I do
1:10
not. But y'all let me know. Do we need
1:13
to put soap in cast iron?
