Cast iron rusted after first use?

I did a big thing of bacon. Let the bacon grease sit for about 10 minutes. Dumped it. Wiped down with paper towels. Added hot water. Scrubbed with paper towels and salt. Put on stove to dry any excess water. Now it looks like there is rust on it. Did I do something wrong?
Or is it just stuck on food? I will try to get a picture.

the procedure sounds fine. could have been storage--moisture in the air, maybe.
one thing you can do, in addition to the procedure you used, it to apply a very light coat of oil to the pot before putting it away. that should prevent any rusting.

You didn't coat the pan with oil/Crisco after drying it. Start as if it was a virgin pot and re-season it on your own.

Means it isn't seasoned enough. All I clean mine with is kosher salt and hot water. No rust.
Oil it after it dries when you are breaking it in.
I always rub mine with Olive oil. Not really any preferences though.

In the future, you can wipe out the bacon grease and then clean your cast iron with kosher salt.
No water needed.

Season it. Wipe with oil, store greasy, use again, and follow the same procedure.
