Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't use soap. I soak it, and rub with a nylon sponge with a shake of baking soda. Rinse and let it air dry. I do hat with my iron skillets too. Donna --- Katie M <cozycate wrote: > I have been told that you can never get the taste of > soap out of clay cooking pots.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 That is the way I have been told is the only safe way to clean them.
