I was on Amazon last night and for some reason a 'chain mail' cleaning 'rag' popped up for cast iron. When food bits get caked on, I typically use coarse salt and water.. but this chain mail thing might be something to try.

I don't have much luck with cast iron.. I can't get them to stay seasoned and I don't use soap on them.. I'll have to try the reset thing with a camp fire... that or self clean in the oven.. those are about the only things I haven't tried.

I don't even try to do eggs in the iron.. My pans hate me.
