mmmmm. that irony taste. no, really.

i now have a new cast iron frying pan and a new two-sided griddle that should fit over two burners on my stove for griddley goodness. i did a quick seasoning on the frying pan and then made sausage gravy with biscuits for dinner last night, and now i've got the griddle getting its first seasoning in the oven.

i wonder how many "NOOOOOO" comments i could get if i said "so, this stuff's dishwasher safe, right?"

I've always cooked on cast iron. Everytime I get a new pan, I use it for a bit and then go back to cast iron. One tip - wash the pan right after use, towel dry it and then immediately transfer it to the stove and sit it on the burner 'high' for a minute or so to fully dry it. Maybe this is tmi.

Yeah, toss it in the dishwasher. You get that automatic shine that way.

Someone told me once to use olive oil instead of detergent when you put cast iron in the dishwasher, but they might have been kidding.
