Nope, acidic foods can destroy the "seasoning" of cast iron, and if you
then wash it in water, you can cause the pan to oxidize.
But even if you don't use water, stripping the seasoning off the pan can
create a metallic taste in foods cooked in the pan. As Alton Brown would
say, that's definitely NOT good eats.
