I have a lodge set of pans for the last 15 or so years and you can tell which ones are most used because they are flat and the less useful to me sizes are all still bumpy. I think over the years I’ve eaten a bumpy surface worth of cast iron off several pans
I have the h&h of a Sherpa after a marathon. I breathe three times a minute. Sometimes i rust a little if I don’t put lotion on right after the shower.
Depends how well you clean it, and what you cooked.
If you made bacon, sure. Perfect seasoning and water and a sponge won’t dry it out.
That’s not how many other foods work, though. I almost always put a bit of oil back on it, then heat it up to preserve the pan. I can cook eggs, pancakes, or really anything on it any time with this treatment. It’s literally better than any non-stick pan.
If it’s seasoned you don’t have to oil it. Just make sure it’s dry.
That’s fair. I have a Lodge, and I ground down the inner surface so it’s flat, so I had to re-season it.
~I guess I can probably stop re-seasoning it now. 😅~
Nah, if you are doing properly thin seasoning you really can’t overdo it.

I mean, iron is a part of our nutritional diet. 🤣

I have cooked on a cast iron pan daily for decades at this point. I never oil it. It’s fine.
But internet guy says you’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. Why won’t you completely change your ways based on the comment of pedantic rando?
