Rant: My neighbor saw me using my pan and gave me the wildest advice
He told me to never wash it, just wipe it out and put it away, because his grandpa in Tulsa did that for 50 years. Has anyone actually had that work without it getting gross?

Wait, is this about a cast iron pan? Because that's the only way that advice makes any sense. You still need to wash it with a little soap and water, then dry it right away and rub a tiny bit of oil on it. Just wiping it out is how you get rancid oil and old food bits.

Oh my god, that's how you get a science experiment living in your cupboard. My uncle tried that with his cast iron and it started smelling like a wet dog crossed with old bacon.
