Did you leave it wet overnight? Found orange spots? Don’t panic. Rust is not the end. Scrub it with steel wool, dry it perfectly, and re-oil. It’s like a bad haircut—it grows back (sort of).
Even a rusty skillet can become beautiful again. That’s the coolest part: cast iron forgives. You just have to show a little patience.
So go ahead, dry that skillet like a boss. Your future self—and your eggs—will thank you. And next time someone asks, “How do you dry a cast iron skillet?” you can just smile and say, “With love, heat, and a tiny bit of oil.”
