My only frying pans are cast iron.

I disagree with not using soap. Using soap to wash the frying pan is ok, as long as it is immediately rinsed after. Soaking a cast iron frying pan in soapy water will kill it.

I usually will wash my cast iron frying pans, then rinse and dry immediately, and then coat them with a thin layer of oil (put a little oil on paper towel and rub into the pan) before I store them.

The only thing I have yet to master cooking in my cast iron frying pan is french crepes.
