My neighbor saw me scrub my pan with soap and gave me a look.
He said, 'You know that's a myth, right? A bit of dish soap won't hurt your seasoning.' I was always told never to use soap. I tried it the next day, using Dawn to clean off some baked-on grease, and my pan was fine. The seasoning didn't strip at all. Has anyone else made the switch from the no-soap rule?

My grandma's no-soap rule was basically cast iron gospel in our house. Modern dish soap is way milder than the lye-based stuff from her day, so it's perfectly safe. I switched years ago and my pans have never been happier.
