My grandmother's cast iron skillet changed after I stopped using soap on it
For years I scrubbed my grandmother's old Wagner skillet with soap and water like any other pan, thinking I was keeping it clean. My aunt June finally told me at a family dinner in Columbus that I was stripping the seasoning and ruining the nonstick surface she built up over 50 years. I switched to just salt and oil scrubbing, and after about 3 months of regular use the skillet started releasing eggs like nothing else. Has anyone else had a relative correct their care routine for an heirloom piece?

Learned that lesson after ruining my first seasoning and cried over scrambled eggs for a week.

Three ruined pans later and I finally learned life doesn't come with instructions.
