Do y’all heat up your cast iron skillet after cleaning to get all the water out of it?

I always heat up my cast iron after cleaning it to make sure all the water evaporates out of the pores of the pan. Does anyone else do this or am I just wasting time?

I try not to clean it with water, but when I do then yes. And rub a touch of bacon grease on it before putting it up.

Heat it and rub it with a drop of oil every time.

I usually just scrape it with a spatual and just wipe it out if it's just grease and stuff from cooking bacon, eggs, sausage, et. If it still has food in it I'll wash it with water.

I don't use soap. Although I've heard it's not as big of a deal as some make it out to be.

I definitely use water to clean, then dry it on a low flame then lightly oil it.

If cooking cornbread, I wipe it with a paper towel and put it back into the cabinet.

If food, rinse with water dry with paper towel, rub a dab of oil over the inside and outside and run it through a hot oven for 14.00437 minutes give or take.

It's not a deal at all unless you soak it, or use soap that you made yourself.
