I hate cast iron so I am in favour of this.

You definitely don't need to oil it after every use. The main reason for applying oil is to keep it from rusting while it sits. If you just use it at least once a week then that rust isn't a concern. Even if it did rust you can just scrub the rust off before you use it.

There is all sorts of special care you can do to cast iron if you really get into it. But if you really don't care then you can just use it and wash it exactly like any other pan without issue. The whole soap thing is a myth now a days because modern soaps don't contain lye anymore. Soap is entirely unnecessary in cast iron but it won't hurt it. Seasoning is adequately acheived just by actually cooking with it. You really don't need any special process to season it unless you deliberately stripped off all the old seasoning. You can cook acidic foods in it without issue. I do tomato sauce in mine all the time.

Coated pans require way more care. At least I can use proper metal utensils in my cast iron.

Maybe a cast iron skillet killed his family.

Cast iron skillets don’t kill people, people kill people.

It's not a cast iron skillet problem, it's a mental health problem.

Seasoning is a polymer which gives it similar resistance as plastic, it is not going to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.

The whole cast iron thing is such a cult. Always makes me laugh when someone tries to preach it to me, how it's great, then there's all this stuff you need to do that you normally wouldn't, oh right you can't do this and you need to do this and yes it's heavy as all hell but that's actually a good thing

lol

Actually not my photo but I finally have a dishwasher after like 25 years of living with my SO.

In all seriousness I actually have this pumpkin Le Creuset cast iron Dutch oven and it's in fine shape. The pans that I hate are the gross frying pans my SO brought to this relationship which are disgusting. This Dutch oven can go in the dishwasher no problem actually.
