Unfortunately, having to restore them every two weeks because some idiot struggles to understand the words "don't leave water in it" is a massive pain in the ass and might qualify as valid justification for using said idiot's skull to demonstrate the hardness of cast iron. jiffdiff posted... Nope it's a you thing. It takes 5 minutes to learn how to properly use/care for pots and pans. Invest the time. Eeyup. Don't use metal on teflon pans (ceramic non-stick ones are more durable, but still try to avoid it), use an appropriate amount of oil to prevent whatever sticking you can, and don't make a habit of burning stuff. That's 99% of what you need to know; calling it a "guy thing" doesn't excuse not taking the time to learn that. Particularly tenacious burnt-on stuff can usually be dislodged by deglazing it (pour a small amount of water into a hot pan around it, then scrape it off as the rapidly-boiling water loosens it) or boiling soapy water in the pan while scraping at it. It may also take some soaking. Steel wool should never be used on anything finished (non-stick, enamelled, etc.), but it's okay for harder materials (mostly stainless steel). --- This is my signature.
