I wash our cast iron pans in soap and water all the times.
They are well seasoned and suffer no harm.
Cast Iron Myths
Agreed. The cast iron our family uses has been washed in the sink with everything else for generations and is still good as new.
Washed in the sink that is. I'd never put cast iron in a dishwasher. But none of our pots, pans, or sharp knives ever see the inside of a dishwasher anyway. It seems to be more of a cup, plate, utensils and glassware sterilizer after they've been well rinsed. :)
