Wing sold his Bensalem martial arts gym in October and makes a full-time living today as Cast Iron Chris. He restores anything cast iron for customers, posting restoration videos from his basement lab and kitchen for his nearly 600,000-plus followers on Cast-iron owners avoid soap, he said, to keep rust at bay, but the biggest mistake they make is putting them away wet.People also believe that oils left behind by cooking somehow season the cast iron.
