Your method sounds great and I'm sure it works well, but I just want to make sure you know that modern dish soap won't damage your seasoning at all.

I fully get that modern dishsoap isn't caustic enough to truly strip the seasoning, but I have noticed it does very slightly affect the seasoning.

For 99.9% of the time it's not necessary to use dishsoap and if something is really burnt on, then I'll tend to go with something a bit more abrasive like a green scrubby pad or maybe steel wool or a paste of baking soda and water.

It's the same thing I do for my carbon steel wok too, boil water, rinse well, dry with heat and reapply oil to the reheated surface.
