I'm going to start a thread soon on how I put my nasty flooded cast iron in my fire pit to clean them.


Then scrubbed them like a maniac, then seasoned them on my grill after throughly applying crisco.

I scrubbed with a wire brush, and thought I got it all. Then I washed and dried and the pan was still red with rust. So I YouTubed and remembered about the salt scrub- so I did that three times. It helped a lot, but it still wasn't great. I oiled them and cooked them thinking that would take care of the raw/rust look, but it looks like I've still got some work to do. To be continued tomorrow...

Fire isn't the best method, that is old school. You can damage them that way. Best is either an electrolysis tank or lye bath.

Restored many of my mom's flooded piece with a lye bath for a couple weeks and then a vinegar bath. They look brand new
