Somewhere I read if you run hot water over the back of your cast iron skillet, you can then take a paper towel and wipe the leftover food out cleanly if you have seasoned it enough.
I seasoned my skillets two times by putting Crisco all over the insides and turning the oven to 200 degrees for 8 hours as a site suggested on the net (some pro does this). Most times the wiping with a paper towel works, but not always.
How do most of you clean the stick from your cast iron pots and skillets? Just use soap and water? Does anyone know a way to clean them well when you have sticky foods leftover you cannot paper towel off (that doesn't require soap and water that will take the seasoning off)? Is there any other way to clean them that I am missing? I am trying to not destroy the film/seasoning that is on the coating of the pan/skillet, which soap and water will do.
