What is the best way to clean a cast iron pot?
assistant
The best way to clean a cast iron pot is to use a mild soap or baking soda and water solution. Make sure that it's warm enough for the soap to lather, then scrub away any stuck-on food with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse off the pot in hot water, dry it with a soft cloth, and apply a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to keep the surface from rusting.
