Angle the pan to avoid getting splashed. This will take the majority of food debris and oils out. Add 1-2 tbsp coarse salt to the now-cool pan as an abrasive and scrub out any remaining burnt-on bits. Rinse out the salt. Repeat the salt scrub if necessary, rinse, dry, done. It's way less effort than it sounds like.

If you've ever been around regular paper towels from the grocery store they leave lint all over your kitchen counters. I don't keep them in my kitchen and I don't plan to. Do no professional cooks have an opposition to paper towels and the lint they leave behind?

I washed it with warm water and oiled it. Something black comes off. I wipe it again and again still comes off. Is it ok? I've never used this type of pan before. I need your advice. It looks like carbon black bad to your health.

I keep finding countless videos on this and I was hoping America's Test Kitchen had some content on this. Hopefully you will because there's too much information on oil choice (olive, flax, coconut etc.). Thanks
