After seasoning your cast iron skillet, it's important to continue caring for it properly to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust

unseasoned cast iron skillet. Avoid using soap when cleaning your cast iron skillet, as it can strip away the seasoning. Instead, use hot water and a stiff brush to scrub off any food residue. If necessary, you can use a small amount of kosher salt as an abrasive to help remove stuck-on food. Dry the skillet thoroughly with a towel, and then apply a thin layer of oil before storing it in a cool, dry place.
