If you use regular dish soap (i.e. dawn), you most certainly can (and should) wash it. However, the trick is that you absolutely must dry it, put a light coat of oil, and then bake it to keep it from rusting. I preheat the oven to 450°F and then turn off the oven, and let the pan sit until it’s cool enough to the touch to put away.
If it's seasoned you don't have to oil it. Just make sure it's dry.
Depends how well you clean it, and what you cooked.
If you made bacon, sure. Perfect seasoning and water and a sponge won't dry it out.
That's not how many other foods work, though. I almost always put a bit of oil back on it, then heat it up to preserve the pan. I can cook eggs, pancakes, or really anything on it any time with this treatment. It's literally better than any non-stick pan.
I have cooked on a cast iron pan daily for decades at this point. I never oil it. It's fine.
But internet guy says you've been doing it wrong this whole time. Why won't you completely change your ways based on the comment of pedantic rando?
