Does this method affect the seasoning of a cast iron skillet? Looks like cleaning the pan is going to take more effort/time?
No. I just cool the skillet, scrape the fat and residue out with a small spatula and wipe with a paper towel. Keeps adding new flavor coatings to the cast iron.
Thanks, I don’t let my wife use my cast iron and it would not be good if I myself messed it up. Makes sense.
