I have the same granite.What do you do with all the lye liquid?Do you take it a special dump for chemicals?

Nice job!

I had an old rusty cast iron pan once. I cleaned it to perfectly new condition by putting in the oven and setting the oven to self-clean. You then just have to season it again.

Hey Guys here is an Amazing Hack for Rust Removal. Food Grade Molasses and Water at about a 10 to 1 . Make sure the Parts are Complete Submerge but is will take about 5 Days. So if you have the time Molasses and Water works Great....

Stop talking so much.

Lard is your friend when seasoning cast iron.

Looks good!

this may be the worst cxast iron cooking ive ever seen.

Nice

@1:52 the what water now?

should have taken the cornbread out of the pan to show no sticking and your treatment worked, or it didn't.

My nephew gave me a rust cast iron skillet like 15 years ago. It was so rusty. The inside was so pity. I took my electric sander and went to town on it. I don’t know how many sand disks I went through. Finally I had it cleaned. I have seasoned it around 15/18 times. It is my go to skillet now. I used no vinger at all. I also have a carbon steel skillet that I have had for 60 years. It was given to me from my sister who had it for 35/40 years. I use it a lot.

Wow! Amazing

just curious, where did you find this BSR & what did you pay for it.?

I love my cast iron skillets!

The best thing about cast iron skillets they'll last for ever .no matter how bad they look the can almost aways be brought back to life

Is it really 100 years old? Is it? Really? Was it MADE to look this rusted by design? Was it?

Looks great

Cast iron would have to be pretty far gone to not be fixable. Acid for rust (citric acid powder is probably nicer than vinegar) and the opposite end of the acidity spectrum to remove bunt-on crusty crap (lye), apparently.

Good way to crack your granite putting a hot skillet on it

super dumb video

Granted the vinegar is weak solution. But for safety put water in first then slowly add vinegar.

Thx u

Good job.

What's the kitty's name ? And is it supervising ? 🤭

Great job.

I really never saw you oil the pan?

Thank u for the demo. Youve also got some great comments from other watchers. My specialty is being a word freak. Its sad being this obsessive but I just have to say something about ur pronunciation of the word excess. Excess starts with an e that is pronounced like the e in the word egg, immediately followed by the letter x....ex-cess. It means when theres an amount left over. Access, pronounced like axe-cess, is an incorrect pronunciation of excess. Also, access means when one is given permission to enter something ... for example, the access road running alongside an interstate, permits drivers to enter the interstate. So you wiped off the excess...not the access.

After I removed all the rust from the Dutch oven I was restoring, I rinsed it with water, dried it with a towel, and then dried it in the oven for 10 minutes. It came out of the oven with more rust than it started with. Why?

Where is Devil’s Den, and why do they call it that? Do you know? It’s pretty!

I’ve watched a number of videos about cleaning and re-seasoning cast iron…I liked yours the best. I used this method to clean my skillet, except I put it into a 500 degree oven for one hour. I put it in the oven upside down: after it was in the oven for one hour, I turned the oven off and left it in a while to cool. I did this twice. Was supposed to do three times, but two worked for me. I liked your method of cleaning with half water, half vinegar, plus baking soda! Thanks for the information!

One of the best restoration vids I've seen. I have three that I rescued. I have a sand blaster but something in my gut said not to do that. Getting the vinegar out right now...thanks Eric!

As heavily rusted as that pan is. I think you would ne better off letting it soak for a few days.

Intro's are boring. Never explain what you are going to do. Just do it and explain as you go.

Always add chemicals to water first.

Flip it over because the real test is when the cornbread slides out without sticking!

Cast iron can warp if you put cold water in a hot pan. Looks like someone probably cooked something and then tried to wash it while it was hot.

It’s warped. It won’t sit flat.

I wish you had flipped that pan of cornbread. You know you’ve got a good seasoning when the cornbread just falls onto the plate. 🍽️

Well done🎉

I just refinished a rusty old Goodwill 8" cast iron skillet with pour spouts on both side of the rim. I used the same plastic tub but dumped in a can of Lye and enough water to cover the pan completely. Stir the lye with a flat stick to dissolve it all, then gently put the pan in the tub. DON'T SPLASH ANY OF THIS ON YOURSELF OR YOUR CLOTHES. Lye is caustic soda and is corrosive. Make this mixture outside in open air. You do not want these odors or fumes in the house. Soak overnight or longer. Remove and rinse with lots of clear water, usually from your garden hose. Heat to dry completely and do the seasoning process. Lye is sold as a drain opener. You can dispose by pouring it down drains a little at a time. I advise you to wear rubber gloves when handling this. Be careful.

I always scrub away my rust but I haven’t had one that rusty yet

You should avoid putting hot pans on your stone surface your stone can take it but the Finnish can burn and scorch msrk

That’s a airless fryer

OK I just found this identical pan in my barn and it is in much worse condition 🙃 well I'm gonna try the vinegar but I have little faith..... researching now if and old fish tank and car battery is enough for electrolysis!?!? Thanks for the video!

No Comment’s - Great 👍 Job ….. Hi👋 from Chertanovo Choppers’s Custom Club ….. Moscow City 🌆 ….. Russia 🇷🇺 ….. P.s. Good luck in your New Beginnings - Thank’s for your video …..

good guide, thanks

I watched a lady restore cast iron, and she used Lye to soak the pan. This one might have taken 24-48 hours to soak in the Lye. She DID say, place the water in the bucket first, then the lye. Then clean the way you did. It worked GREAT.

Great video. I have a skillet and dutch oven that has a litter rust. So this looks like a good way to clean them.

Beautiful old pan you restored. Your grandchildren’s grandchildren will thank you for that heirloom.
