I read somewhere that cast iron is best if the heat goes to high over a period of time. I never have any trouble cooking turkey/chicken/andouille/and I am afraid that maybe, but I do not know for sure. I never leave a pot of water in my cast iron, but I have found it very easy to rinse away any cooked food that spills. I know this might be heresy and heresy is fine, but if it seems safer, then I will do it. Some people said to wait at least 30 minutes before going in the pot and then again at the end and they might wonder why I didn't wash and dry it.
