Yeah, I think the big hangup for a lot of people is that detergents used to contain lye which would react with the steel. No longer the case. Folks will seriously refuse to clean their pans which is gross AF.
Cast iron and steel are largely similar materials, cast iron just has the carbon precipitated out of solution instead of trapped in a crystalline structure

dawn literally has lye in it
From what I can see, it’s used to balance the pH. So I assume a small amount.
React with the steel… in the cast iron? I’m confused
Steel is like 98% iron. Sorry for the mistake.
But cast iron doesn’t contain steel, it contains iron and carbon
What do you think carbon steel is made from?
