It shouldn't be used above flames but above hot coals, whether those be peat, wood or coke. The idea is to cook food not to cinderise it The surface should only need wiped clean and maybe a drop or two of oil rubbed in.

Correctamundo!!!

God help the kitchen porter who even "thinks" about taking a brillo pad/Fairy Liquid (etc) to the saute pans...

This thread has been very bad for me ... just bought myself a skillet! Sigh! Not had one for 30 years so will be learning how to season it all over again. The one thing I think about skillets, dutch ovens and grills is that they only come with me when I have the car as the weight is terrific! But the grub they produce is luverrlee
Am now redesigning my camping trips with this in mind

When I have had the South African version of a Dutch Oven stew the cast iron pots start off red with rust as they live outdors,- a little heat, a little oil and a little rub down with a sourer and they were ready for cooking!
My own cast iron goes home with me after each tip, gets a wash to remove any surface crud is dried on top of the rayburn then oiled and stored for the next trip.
I did for a while use a double sided griddle but carfuly cleaned it between flipping it ove.
These days I use a good Welsh bakestone!
All the ridged side of a double sider does is burn a pattern onto your steak....

Same here John. Doesn't take long to get rid of the rust colour.
As far as cooking goes if you take the pan off the fire and just leave it on the ground it retains the perfect heat to cook eggs.

I use a smooth cast skillet at home and the same one over the campfire. It has not been near a soap sud for 15 years and just kind of cleans itself, I just give it a scrape and away you go. Staffordshire oatcakes taste great on it.
