Tips for Cleaning Stuck-on Chicken from Raw Cast Iron

[KellerCooks]

Anyone have any tips? Mine routinely gets chicken stuck to it and I can't seem to really get it off. I have the scraper and it doesn't work that well. It's raw cast iron, so I don't want to damage it. Let me know what you do.

I use one of those Scotch green scrubbies and just go into each groove back and forth. Works well for me.

I use a kitchen brush on mine after soaking it

you can add a little coarse salt and scrub with a damp...not wet...cloth....the grit of the salt scours it pretty well....i love cooking with castiron!!! i have manyof my grandmother's pans and even a covered pot

I take a used bounce "dryer sheet", put it in the grill pan with hot water and then add the press. soak for a while, then actually use the dryer sheet to clean the pan. finish the cleaning with a regular sponge. works great!

I soak it for a little while first, then use hot water and the kitchen brush. Then if it's still not coming off I use the scrubby side of a sponge. The grill pan/press scraper is horrible and doesn't help at all for me.
