Nu? Nobody has anything to say about my cast iron pan?
Someone showed me an article by the CRC which said it needs hagalla, and you don’t need to wash it down before you do so.
A certain rav I asked, said it was a sfeik sfeika, and therefore I should do hagalla. He didn’t tell me what the second safeik is, nor why hagalla was necessary.
I still think it is easier to just do libun than to hock with hagalla.
Except that if I do libun, I will need to reseason it, while if I do hagalla, the seasoning will probably survive. The CRC did pasken that the issur is bliyus, and not mamashus- but should it feel weird that hagalla will make it muttar while I can clearly see that the oil is still present? So what if it feels weird, if that is the halacha- then that is the halacha.
