Seasoning is a polymer which gives it very strong resistance, which is not going to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.
The seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking (oleophilic).
The protective layer itself is not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.[28]
Unless you are dish washing it everyday and refuse to dry/reseason it, you will be fine.
However, cast iron is very prone to rust, and the protective layer may have pinholes, so soaking for long periods is contraindicated as the layer may start to flake off.
I mean, as long as it’s your cast iron skillet.
I see someone has chosen violence today
Fuck you. >:(🖕
You… hate cast iron? Of all things people could hate, cast iron is the choice here. Mmaight.
Maybe a cast iron skillet killed his family.
Cast iron skillets don’t kill people, people kill people.
It’s not a cast iron skillet problem, it’s a mental health problem.
Setting off the pan nerds should be listed as a war crime by the Geneva Convention.
I’m loving all the superstition in this thread.
It’s your expensive quality cookware, if you want to ruin it I can’t do anything about it.
Whispers gently to well seasoned dutch oven
Shh, it’s okay, the bad man can’t hurt you.
It’s pretty hard to ruin good cast iron. A good cast iron pan could spend a year at the bottom of a lake and all it would need is a good scrub and reseason to be good to go again.
About the only thing I’ve seen that makes them completely irrecoverable is when people use them to melt lead. Also you can crack the cheap ones in half with thermal shock.
A well-seasoned Dutch oven sounds like a fate worse than death.
🍑💨💀
/s I am indeed unreasonably mad.
Not that you put the cast iron in the dishwasher (enjoy your rust), but the fact that you can actually fit the pan in your dishwasher. I recently spent $350 on a portable dishwasher and your iron skillet is bigger than that. I bought that thing to NOT have to scrub dishes. Thanks for reminding me that I STILL have to scrub pots and pans!
You have to be like at least 50 to get mad over some pan
This thread is full of people claiming that dish soap doesn’t contain lye, but the most popular dish soap I’m aware of, Dawn, contains lye and that’s easily found in a two second Google search.
what the hell is dawn?
Gets angry over the fact that you have a dishwasher
even putting it on the top rack, instead of the bottom where the pots go. Masterfull attention to detail in trolling.
What weirdo takes a picture of their dirty dishes and posts it to the Internet? I’m unreasonably angry, mission accomplished.
¯\(ツ)/¯ wouldn’t kill it. Just scrub any flakes off and re-season. The abuse they can take is almost unreasonable.
You could leave it outside in the dirt for 5 years and still just give it a lye bath then reseason it to work like new
Preach!
