Okay, I just don't get this! A cast iron pan is not that big of a
freakin' deal to care for. I will scrub mine gently with a nylon
scrubbie, a bit of soap and warm water right after I finish using it,
rinse and dry it, then take a paper towel and a little olive or peanut
or grapeseed oil and wipe the entire inside. Takes me maybe 3 minutes...

Geeze!

As long as I keep it well seasoned, cleanup is a breeze. The only thing
that tends to want to stick is eggs sometimes, but that's rare any more
now that I have keeping my pans seasoned down pat. :-)
