1. Cool the pan — Wait until safe to handle; avoid thermal shock.
2. Lift residue — Gently loosen food with a brush or scraper.
3. Hand-wash with warm soapy water — Lodge allows mild soap; avoid aggressive daily steel-wool cleaning.
4. Rinse and dry promptly — Do not soak; towel-dry all surfaces and the handle.
5. Rub in a thin film of oil — Apply a little oil to completely dry iron and wipe away extra.
6. Store dry — For rust, consult Lodge's separate restoration guide.
