Scrub away rust with steel wool.
Wipe down with shortening and place in 350 degree oven for an hour. remove and wipe down inside with paper towels.
Allow to cool and repeat step 1.

I just did this yesterday and opened a few windows in the house.
Place your pots in the oven and start the "clean oven" cycle. It will not only burn off the rust and other gunk, your oven will get cleaned as well.
After the 4 to 5 hour cycle is complete, handle the pots when they are cool enough to wash out with water and a few clean towels. The towels will get extremely dirty.
To season, I used vegetable oil coated on all sides and lid, then wiped off so that there was a very thin coat of oil and oven set to 450 degrees for 1 hour. , and you can use the oil of your choice, just not butter.
Allowed pot to cool to touch, then applied a small amount of oil again,. oven to 400 degrees for an hour, cool to touch. Then 375 for 45 minutes for an hour, cool to touch, thin oil layer and 350 for an hour, process complete.

get rust off with a steel wool
rinse off the best you can to get all residue off
then place in oven on self clean mode.
then oil it up and bake for about an hour, wipe repeat a few times.
Then use it to fry with veg oil, after that it should be pretty good.

Jmon's technique. Use flaxseed oil

If you can get them to Lafayette, I'll do it for you.

Yep. Flaxseed oil gives you a hard coating. Steel wool the rust or if it's really bad oven cleaner spray the entire pot and place it in a trash bag for a day or 2. Rinse it really well and lightly oil the entire pot and bake it in the oven. Repeat the light oil and baking 4 times. Instead of frying in it, make a about 4-5 cups of Roux. That really seasons a pot and you will have Roux for awhile.

Can I use a pressure washer to clean CI? I found some old pans at my moms I want to try and salvage
Posted on 11/26/16 at 7:34 pm to saintsfan225
The "clean oven" method gets your pots very hot and there is a risk of warping. If the pot is an antique or family heirloom, I would use another method. Chemical oven cleaners will work also, it just takes a little elbow grease. Electrolysis method works too, with little scrubbing.

I would not think a pressure washer would remove all the old seasoning. Sandblasting would strip it clean.

Lard works well too.
I put them in the oven covered in shortening or lard and set the temp at about 200 or 250 and leave it all night. You might put a pan on the rack under it in case grease drips.
Cooking a roux in it is good too.

Easy off oven cleaner if its caked on grease.
For rust soak in vinegar water for about half an hour, no longer or it may pit the iron. Then try your steel wool
