Just realized I was seasoning cast iron wrong for 5 years
I used soap and water every time and scrubbed it like a maniac, but last week the skillet started rusting and a friend at the bar finally told me to just wipe it and oil it lightly. Now it's back to non-stick, but I feel dumb. Anyone else have a kitchen habit they only caught after something rusted or cracked?

My mom did the same thing with her cast iron for like a decade, she'd soak it overnight and wonder why everything stuck. The real trick I learned is to heat it back up on the stove after wiping it down, because the warm pan pulls the oil into the metal way better than a cold one. Once you get that layer built up you can basically abuse the thing and it still comes back.
