does anyone know if i can put a cast iron saucepan in a dish washer? dish washers are alien to me lol
I wouldnt put it in the dishwasher...i'll start going rusty.
If you have a heavy stain that you cant get rid of try a little clothes washing powder/liquid as the enzymes help eat away the stains. Remember to rinse relaly well afterwards though

ok thankyou both for that x
No dishwashers in my Granny`s day, but I remember her cleaning her cast iron frying pan with an equal mixture of soap powder (Oxydol) and salt on a bit of steel wool.

If the saucepan is enamelled it should be ok.
As long as the enammeling is not chipped or cracked.
But if not dont even think about chancing it!
Soak it in the sink and gently wash it.
My granny would go crazy if you scubbed her cast iron frying pan!
If you have to wash cast iron using any kind of soap, you need to dry it thoroughly and re oil to prevent rusting......but you really shouldn't use any kind of soap or washing up liquid....hot hot water and salt as an abrasive.
