The best way to clean your skillet is with Kosher Salt and a plain water. The kosher salt will help remove any debris that are stuck on the skillet. Once you dry your skillet, use a paper towel with canola oil or any oil you prefer to wipe down the skillet. *Dry your skillet as soon as you are done washing it. Do not leave your skillet wet. If it is left wet it will guarantee it to rust.
