Actually, not to play devil's advocate, but using soap on a properly seasoned pan won't hurt it in the slightest. Scrubbing them is another story. I have one pan with the grill-grooves in it that needs to be scrubbed every time, but it's the only one. And it is well seasoned, I assure you.

I really want to try the following method. When testing it, they ran it through a high-temp commercial dish washer with no problem, and these guys test the crap out of everything they do! And flaxseed is just linseed oil, which most of us are familiar with. https://www.cooksillustrated.com/how_to ... -cast-iron

Flax and linseed oil are essentially the same thing - with one big exception.
Oil sold as flax oil is the edible cooking oil. Linseed oil is the industrial version that can/does have additives in it. So, if cooking use flax oil, if painting or working with wood - use linseed.
