re: #403 Feline Emperor of the Conservative Waste

Hmm. Is cleaning and reseasoning a skillet allowed. Or is there some sort of contamination that can never be removed? (Just curious about how some of the strictures apply.)

Certain items can be kashered either by purging (plunging into boiling water), or putting through the self-cleaning cycle of an oven. Considering how a cast-iron skillet has to be “seasoned” there doesn’t seem to be anyway to kosher a used one without damaging it. There is even a question of certain brands which are “pre-seasoned.”
