This brings up a question I was going to run by you guys. I have 3 beautiful cast iron pans passed down from my grandfather which were in constant use by my mother while I grew up, now being used in my /my wife's house these past 27 years. Well, my mother NEVER put soap and water to any of them, but just rubbed them clean and told me to always do the same. Well, that's not what my wife has done, and a couple weeks ago the biggest pan almost got destroyed whenm she had a little too much dinner wine before dinner and burned the chicken right down to the point where she ended it up scrupping it to clean iron. While she was at it she decide later that week it would be a good time to "re-season" the other two as well. I have to hold my emotions in check when I see them as she looks at different youtube "directions" and the pans just look AWFUL! Do any of you souls out there have some SOLID knowledge and direction I can take to help me preserve these pieces of precious family legacy well over a century?
