@tarperfume @kallisti Cast iron skillets may not help with this per say, but if you don't have one and enjoy cooking they're worth every penny and last a lifetime
@kallisti @tarperfume Depends, if it's something baked on, that won't come off, you can put water in it and bring to a boil to losten it up some and scrub when cool. If it's normal dirtyness a rinse with hot water, and a scrub with a CLEAN sponge with no soap. In between very dirty and a little dirty, after scrubbing and rinsing, add table salt and scrub some more with no water to losten up the shit then rinse.
@kallisti @tarperfume The main benefit is you can get the skillet very hot without damaging or warping it. A very hot skillet means a more agressive char, which can't be gotten any other way. It's a flat surface char not an open flame char. Personally I prefer open flame char but when an open flame is not available the skillet is my best friend.
