that won't warp the pan? I know you aren't dipping the entire pan into cold water.. but still.. i'm no expert here.

Nope, doesn't warp the pan. I've used that trick before and it works very well.
That said, I've just recently heard of the "Ringler" cast iron cleaner pad (JohnVee's post on the last page). Looks like a section of chainmail. I'm going to pick one up and add it to the camping drawer.

Johnny, you'll love it. Best few $$$ I have spent for pot maintenance. Can't beat it for when the temps get a bit outta control. One really nice thing is that you can throw it in the dishwasher when you get home.
Yep. Been using that trick, but I usually heat it with the water already in it or use boiling water. Kinda scared of adding as much cold water as it sometimes takes (my biggest messes are usually up the sides). 1/2 cup is fine going in cold but 2 cups aren't!

Just don't do the cold water trick with cast iron. Steel won't crack, though it could warp. I put the water in and then heat to boiling-works awesome especially in conjunction with the Ringer held by a pair of tongs.
Unless you cook on infrared burners, you'd never notice a tiny degree of warp anyway.

Yes, but while those are beautious cast iron pans, this is the "it's NOT cast iron" thread. Just sayin'.

Yeah yeah. I know. Sorry, I just got excited and wanted to share. Plenty of left overs if you get the midnight munchies!
Stopped at the Lodge Factory Store in South Pittsburgh this week to pick up an 8" steel pan and ....,

I had to beg to get in. As I pulled up they turned off the open sign
where is that? Is that in Gatlinburg?
South Pittsburg, Tennessee ... Between Chattanooga and Nashvile, closer to Chattanooga
Are the DeBuyers pans rated for the oven? Anyone tried? The handle has a coating of some sort. Just curious if it will stand up to the high temps.

I've had mine in at 400, no problems. I did take out the little plastic "B" although it is silicone rubber and should be OK.
Perfect! I'll leave the "B" in and test it out.
FWIW, after I bought my deBuyers, I haven't used the cast iron since.
