How to deep clean cast iron
Believe it or not, it’s okay to wash a cast iron pan with mild soap and water. Whether it’s brand new (and you need to prep it for seasoning) or it’s older and needs freshening up, use steel wool dipped in water and mild soap to scrub the skillet inside and out. Rinse with water and scrub again with a tough sponge. Water means rust, so make sure you dry the pan with a towel. Place the pan on a burner, turn it on and allow the heat to remove all of the remaining moisture. Once it’s completely dry, remove it from the heat. Coat with oil and heat it again to seal in the oil.

Keep cakes flat
If you’re trying to get a perfectly flat round cake for your next party, try this tip. Take an old rag and cut it int a strip long enough to go around the entire outside of the pan. Get the rag damp and secure it around the edge of the pan. Pour in the cake batter and bake as usual.
