Re: cleaning cast iron
I use chain mail for cleaning mine but Ive also used those coily metal scrub balls. It's not steel wool but similar. I oil mine but I do it differently than most do. I wash out my lane and turn on the stove to dry them. When they are dry I add one drop of oil (or two for the bigger ones) and spread it using a basting brush. Then I shut off the stove and it's done. I repeat this process before I cook in it and it rarely ever has anything stick. The key is to not use very much oil though.
