How to clean a cast iron skillet after cooking fish. We cooked fish in a few cast iron skillets to deliberately foul them up and then heated the empty pans over a medium flame on the stovetop for 15 minutes and in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Doing any of these things can ruin its natural seasoning. When ready hand wash with a non abrasive sponge in warm water and mild detergent. Instead use very hot water and a mild non abrasive sponge to clean the pan after each use. Also never run a hot pan under cold water.
The most important thing to know about cleaning cast iron skillets meaning non enameled is that you should not use soap soak it in water overnight or put it in the dishwasher. After years of trial and error i have found the easiest way to clean them is to wash the skillet while its still hot with water and a scrubie. Allow your cast iron skillet to cool slightly add some water to cover the cooking area and leave sit. Dry them immediate then heat them back up on the stove for a couple minutes.
