8. Storing Food in the Skillet
It might be tempting to cook dinner and pop the whole skillet into the fridge.
Don’t.
Leaving food in cast iron — especially if it’s moist or acidic — can break down the seasoning. It can even cause rust if left too long.
And it’s not just bad for your pan — it can also make your leftovers taste off.
What to do: Transfer your food to a storage container once it cools down. Then clean and dry the skillet properly.
