We use cast iron every day in this house. My wife is scrubbing a pan behind me right now. And no, we don't oil it either.

    I judge the need for oil based on the shine of the pan after cleaning.

    Just fried chicken in a fair amount of oil? Dump the oil, wipe, rinse, dry, back to bed in the oven.

    Did I cook something that left a residue? After hot water and maybe some salt to scrub if the finish looks flat, I'll rub on a little oil.
