🍳What Happens When You Wash Your Cast Iron With Soap + More

Hey Everyone! I'm releasing cast iron related videos approximately every two weeks, so make sure to subscribe. These are restoration and testing related videos, as well as videos showing different ways of dealing with problems that have not been done before.

The goal in this video is to get to the bottom of the very common question; does soap remove the seasoning from your cast iron pans? In this video I show the process, the testing and the results. As with many of my videos, please check further down in the description for updates as I use these pans.

Updates:

Clarified butter may not help to prevent sticking, it seems that the bubbling action of butter may be a big contributor, if you have thoughts on this please help us out!
