TIL I'd been scrubbing my skillet with soap for two years and a guy at the flea market in Reno set me straight
I feel like an idiot but here it is. I picked up a Wagner at a flea market in Reno about a month ago and the seller asked how I clean my other pan. I told him dish soap and a scrubby pad, real proud of myself. He just looked at me and said, "You're washing off all the work." Turns out I'd been stripping thin layers of seasoning off my daily pan for about two years, which is why eggs kept sticking no matter how many times I "re-seasoned" it. I thought I was keeping it clean and I was actually just undoing it every single night. Now I scrape it hot with a metal spatula, wipe it out, and the thing looks better after four weeks than it did after two years of my routine. So what's the actual move for stuck on gunk, just hot water and a stiff brush, or is there something better I'm still missing?
