I've maintained cast iron cookware this way for years with outstanding results. It keeps the cast iron clean to the metal with no build up and as long as you dry well after cleaning and rinsing and condition with a light oil coat, it's good to go. Cast iron is my #1 go to cooking utensil. I have a set of 5 pans which nestle together. other specialty ones as well. Best and most healthy way to cook. Can't beat cast iron cooking for steak!
