Acidic stuff will eat into the seasoning on cast iron, so that be careful with those.
Honestly I've been told this a bunch, but I cook so much tomato-filled Italian/Mediterranean food and then just leave the pan until the next day to clean, never seen any serious issues from it. Seasoning is also regenerative, so even if you do fuck it up a bit, a couple of meals later it will be basically back to normal.
Yeah, it’s not hard to rehab a cast iron skillet after messing it up. 🙂 I still got a cheap stainless skillet after some sauces experiences though.
I make shakshuka in mine fairly often and never had a problem, but if that's all I used it for I could see it causing trouble
I do this too, and it doesn’t seem to be a problem most of the time. 🙂
I also regularly cook fatty meat or fry things in it, so it gets some nice work inbetween, which probably helps.
