1. Tomato Sauce 🍅
Acidic foods like tomato sauce can strip away your pan’s seasoning and leave a metallic taste in your dish.
2. Vinegar & Citrus Sauces 🍋
High acidity breaks down the protective layer of seasoning, damaging your skillet over time.
3. Fish (Especially Delicate Fillets) 🐟
Flaky fish tends to stick to cast iron, making it hard to flip — and the smell can linger.
4. Eggs 🍳
Unless your pan is perfectly seasoned, eggs can stick badly and turn your breakfast into a frustrating clean-up.
5. Sticky Desserts (Like Caramel) 🍯
Sugar can cling to cast iron, making it tough to clean and sometimes ruining the seasoning.
6. Wine-Based Sauces 🍷
The acid in wine has the same effect as tomatoes — it can pull iron into your food and damage the pan’s finish.
7. Garlic-Heavy Dishes 🧄
Porous cast iron can absorb strong flavors, making your next meal taste unexpectedly garlicky.
8. Delicate White Fish or Seafood 🦐
In addition to sticking, seafood smells can be absorbed into the pan and affect other dishes.
9. Pancakes & Crepes 🥞
Unless your skillet is extremely non-stick from years of use, these can turn into a sticky mess.
10. Overnight Marinated Foods 🕒
Never leave food to marinate or store in cast iron overnight; acid and moisture will rust and ruin the pan.
