after washing, do not heat thinking you'll just evoprate the water to dry it off. it will cause super fast oxidation and literally rust in front of your eyes.

instead, after washing, dry it off thoroughly with a dish towel or paper towel then use it.

recipes? make cornbread in it 🤤 generously grease with butter, ghee, lard or tallow.

evaporate*

y'all I know how to spell, I promise.

can you air dry? or will that rust it too

it will rust it, but slower. easier and safer to just dry it off with a towel after washing.

Ghee, you say? šŸ‘€

Wow, I've been doing that evaporation thing for years, didn't know I was hurting my pan

same! I did it for a long time and it was fine, until it wasn't.
