My experience is to just take it easy: it's okay to scrub, use soap, etc. Just don't leave it wet: always dry it thoroughly after washing, and don't use a dishwasher. I even cooked some acidic food in it and it was fine: you probably shouldn't be making tomato stew in it, though. The irony taste would ruin the dish.

I usually dry mine on the burner for ~2 minutes after quickly drying with a paper towel, it doesn't have to get really hot to evaporate most of the water.
