Just burn it on the highest flame after every use. The grime will be all disinfected by the heat. You can stop when you smell the specific odor of burning rubber and see black fumes, this means your burnt oil coating is denaturating.

I used to think that was the way, but medium heat for longer is better. Less cancerous too.

I wish you said it's supposed to be cleaned before using. What good is it in knowing it was disinfected after it's last use ... 10 months ago?

You burn the grease after cooking so that your skillet won't stink with rotten lard when you don't use it for a year.

Reapplying the oil coating before cooking is a good practice, you'll also burn all the dust. But you then need to let it cool to allow oil to polymerize and lock all that cancer below the coating.

As someone allergic to dust and averse to cancer, I'll mute this cursed thread and sign up to a normie cooking sub 😂

Then you simply wash with dish soap and hot water before you use it. This ain't rocket surgery.
