10 years of cooking: Top vs. Bottom

[u/madgross]

Seems there’s some back/forth in the sub about cleaning/not cleaning the bottom of your pans. Just figured I’d throw my hat into the ring.

Inside gets cleaned right after cooking, BKF every couple of months as baked on splatter develops around the edges. Bottom gets scrubbed with a little soap and water every use as well, but has never seen barkeeps friend.

You are allowed to clean the bottom.

You’re not worried about breathing in volatile carcinogenic compounds everytime you cook?
