The fear of using soap was real back 100 years ago when soap contained lye, which would destroy the seasoning on your pan. Today is this no longer true, so clean away!


I suppose that depends on the type of soap. Do you have a source that I could read? Thank you!


soap does lot contain lye anymore. This is where I learned this: https://youtu.be/zGR-pyLHz1s?si=En2OM2GxfNxhfZKY


Thank you


Dish soap is not going to contain lye because it's not made by cooking animal or vegetable fat in lye.

Soap artist and still do that process though. Handmade soap will probably have some sodium hydroxide in it.

(Does anyone use that for dishes?)
