Eww, gross.

This is not necessary, you can (and should) actually clean your cast iron pans. I certainly clean mine.

No, it's not gross. It's just not squeaky obsessively free of oil. But it's still clean.

No, that's not me. In any case, in our language we don't use the same word for the pan coating that we use for food flavouring. There is no smell on these pans! But yes, if people are treating their cookware as referenced in that page, then I understand why you are appalled.

I mean, when you say "get over the cultural conditioning of what clean is" it makes it sound like you are cooking with dirty pans.

Clean as in hot water and soap?

Or clean as in industrial degreaser or varnish stripper?
