Comment on YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick
danafest@lemm.ee 1 day agoDefinitely this, but also if you are washing it and re-seasoning it after if you use too much oil it can cause it to get sticky.

Thats not really “re-seasoning” when you oil it after washing, its just rust prevention if you don’t have a good cure on the entire pan… I would only oil a pan down if I’m putting it into storage for a good long while… and that oil gets washed off before I use it, cause even the best cured pan always seems to develop some rust in long storage otherwise.
My regular everyday cast iron pan just get washed, then put on a burner for a couple minutes to dry off any of the remaining water (after i towel it off), then pushed to the back of the rangetop for tomorrow.
Obviously don’t take your hot pan, immediately wash it in cold water, and put it back on a hot burner, cause… you know… thermal shock will turn it into a fragmentation grenade*
*(comedic hyperbole, for those that will inevitably take this too seriously)

You’re right, wrong choice of wording on my part.
