Kitchen tips 1 - salt

Soap can ruin a cast iron pan by plaguing it with rust. Here's a cleaning alternative to rid the pan of oil while keeping it practically rust-free. Douse it with some salt and then start scrubing! Salt is a great abrasive agent and will even soak up the oil. If there's no salt, another effecitve cleaning solution is ti add warer into the soiled cast iron and then put it to a boil. This thoroughly removes any oil residue.
