I'll have to give the salt and wooden spoon thing a try in the future.

I cooked a seasoned chicken breast on my pan for lunch today, and it left behind some crud that didn't want to come off.  I tried wiping it off with a towel while still hot, then let it cool a bit while I ate and went back to try those plastic scrappers, but that didn't work either (it usually does).  I ended up heating it back up and lining the bottom with water for about 30 seconds, then scrubbed it clean with a brush, wiped it "dry", and threw it back on the burner to get the rest of the water off.

That particular pan is still fairly new, so I tend to reapply some oil after each use anyway since I'm trying to build up the coating.

that's what I do, I have a spray bottle with oil and just spritz it after use and wipe it down before storing

Nice. We have two that we use regularly, one is an older one we "borrowed" from my gf's dad, and one we bought a few years ago.  The older one is seasoned very well, but we have had a heck of a time getting our newer one to stay nice.

it's funny, we have cast iron skillets in our business for fajitas and beat the heck out of them, send through dishwasher, etc and they are perfect, I stick mine at the house for two minutes and it looks like crap!
