I, myself, wipe it out and let it cool first. But my husband always puts it in the sink and turns the water on it, even when theres grease in it. Will it ruin the finish or the skillet?

the only danger of that is (1) the hot grease and water don't mix (2) if it is cast iron it can crack or break if you're not careful..... as for the finish.... I don't think that it will hurt it..... just don't let him put it in the dishwasher like my wife did mine...

I love my cast iron skillets and pans, they will out last me for sure. You can wash your skillet with dish soap and rinse it quickly then dry over a flame, maybe add a couple of drops of oil to help re-season the pan. You should never leave a cast iron pan soaking in water, it will take the seasoning out of it and it will begin to rust. Why not just ask your husband to leave the skillet on top of the stove and you will clean it later? Besides that the oil in the drain is not a good idea

I isn't good for any pan to be put in the sink while hot and dosed with water.This can warp the pan - the iron skillet not as likely. Hot grease can splatter and burn/melt. The cast iron
will suffer from any detergents/soap. Check with the manufacturer as to the care as most are pre- treated.

The best way to clean a cast iron pan is to use very hot clear water and a scrub brush. But, no soap. The soap removes the coating, which will allow food to stick or the pan to rust.

Does he leave it in the sink for a period of time. If he does, then yes. If you leave a cast iron skillet in water for any period of time without completely drying it, it will rust and you will run the risk of getting sick down the road. Make sure when you dry the skillet to rub a little oil in the bottom. If your pan rusts you can reburn it.

with the aid of fact that is new, be sure that is pro properly. Coat the interior with a skinny layer of cooking oil and positioned it interior the oven at 4 hundred F for an hour. The oil carbonizes and creates an excellent non-stick floor. My Grandma stated the main suitable way replaced into to coat it with lard and throw it in a bon-hearth yet those are contemporary circumstances. Now you have the perfect pan for oven baked corn-bread. on the range precise,a forged iron is the only way(in my opinion) to cook dinner a steak "Pittsburgh type". With a sprint oil, get it smoking warm. actually.Then sear your salt and peppered steak to perfection. i'm hungry now.

I grew up with cast iron skillets.......or fry pans...........and They were always allowed to cool first...and we used the metal scratchers on them don't ever use dish washing on them the scratcher and water,,,then dry and rub some cooking oil on it.The grease left in the fry pan will eventually clog up your pipes,,,,,,

I always rinse mine out the dry it on a warm element and re oil before I hang it up.
No it won't ruin it I have been doing it for years, just don't use detergent.

shake salt in the pan and scrub with a paper towel and a litte vegetable oil - rinse in water and dry thoroughly.

i dont think it will. water doesnt usually have an affect on metal that bad. dont use soap on it though, i believe that ruins the finish or whatever you call it. good luck in the kitchen!
