So i was explaining to m brother one of the easiest way for me to clean my cast iron pan is to take the meat grease (i only use it to cook meat) from the pan and feed it to my dog. I just take said pan, put in the floor and have him lick it, he loves it. Anyways, my brother was horrified by the thought that i let my dog eat from a pan. I was just thinking though, it gets heated up and cleaned anyways, and any cooking done on said pan at high heat will eliminate bacteria. Is it healthy for my dog? Possibly not, but i dont do it that often. Is it going to kill me? Not really. But just the thought of a dog licking food out of a pan that i happened to use for cooking was enough to make him convulse, the look on his face was priceless ....

Does he ever touch a public doorknob/doorhandle with bare hands? That's more disgusting than that.

If that 'kills you' you won't know it.

Well my doggo and I used to live up north in bumbleshit nowhere, so you get used to more nature ways of doing stuff. I guess to a city liberal, i must be a disgusting hermit

Every now and again my dogs get a slice of a meat lovers pizza as a treat and my aunt is horrified that i waste food like that. Not that i care she's a disgusting grease goblin anyways.

Nah, I've seen that (letting the animals clean the scraps) quite often.

I make sure not to give him carb scraps usually, its only meat grease and meats, so nothing that would be considered super unhealthy for him

Why stop at the frying pan. Let the dog lick all of your dishes clean. Just think of the savings in dog food and dish soap.

Oh I jest. But it's not a terrible idea. The bacteria in a dog's mouth can't survive in a human mouth -- which is where "a dog's mouth is sterile" came from -- so the chance of you getting ill is small.

We've let our dogs lick the frying pans clean for years. Though if there's a lot of grease I give it a wipe first because greasy dog diarrhea all over your carpet sucks.

OP's brother is a pussy.

Probably a bit too much fat for the dog, but otherwise I don't see anything wrong here. The pan is going to hit 300-400F next time it's used.

I let my dogs eat off the same fucking fork I'm using, doesn't bother me any, we're all animals and every square inch of this planet is covered in millions of micro organisms.
