I looked this up. Old soaps made with lye would strip all the oils off the metal and then aggressively rust the metal. Modern soaps are much less aggressive and less corrosive so you're not really going to ruin your pan with a quick wipe down and a rinse. Just remember to dry it and oil it before storing.

By "store it” you must mean "put out back on the stove" right?
Because, uhh, that shit gets used for everything that doesn't need a saucepan or large volume boiling water.
I do need to replace my saucepans with stainless or copper, instead of the (relatively nice) nonstick we've had forever.
