What are your thoughts on cast iron skillets and metal spatulas? I was using a plastic one but hate using plastic food utensils. Wooden seems nasty since I'm cooking my scrambled eggs in it every morning. I also kinda hate using the plastic scraper thing for cleaning it, any ideas there? Again I use this thing at least once a day for my eggs and want a simple to clean solution. I've been too spoiled by the coated aluminum over the years and want to get away from the kiked-coated poison pans.

If properly seasoned you should be able to use a metal spatula since plastic will degrade over time and a dish clothe with hot water to clean. Never use soap only hot water and re-oil pan when cleaned

I hear this often that you cant use soap and water on a cast iron pan. Why though? I have been cleaning mine with soap and water for 20 years and I havent noticed any issues.

In olden times, "Soap" == "Lye", and lye (ez off) will strip off most seasoning down to bare metal, so a lot of people still refuse to use soap.

I documented a strip and reseason, but don't feel like dicking with pic8 and server errors any more this morning.

You strip the seasoning off. You my not notice but it drastically changes the flavors of thine meals. Like a coffee mug you don't wash only rinse it helps season the mug and offers a more rich robust flavor for your delight
