For you folks who cook with cast iron
Nothin on the grill or smoker today but thought you folks who like CI would like my latest CI pickup, clean, and inaugural cook:
Picked up a Wagner #8 online and was supposedly cleaned and seasoned. Got it in my hands and it was a Mess! Forgot to take any before photos, but after 3 rounds with oven cleaner sitting in a bag for 24 hrs she was finally clean enough to my liking. I then scrubbed her with a SS scrubber and dish soap concentrate twice. Then dried her and on the stove for a couple minutes to dry more. I then greased her lightly with shortening and put her in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Wiped her with a dry paper towel and then back in the oven for an hour. Any constructive criticism and feedback is appreciated! :D. Her inaugural cook I spoiled her and had her cook fried chicken drumsticks! My first time ever cooking fried chicken. Came out tasty!

That looks great! I have a 5 gallon bucket of water that I added a can of lye too. I just let my pans soak in that solution to loosen/ eat away the carbon and grime. Have you tried that? I have not used oven cleaner before.

I LOVE my CI skillets. LOVE EM!
But, you call that a mess? When I got mine from a craigslist seller they had been literally stored under their minibarn for years and had at least 1/4 of crud on them. One of em (a 12" Lodge) is my all time favorite skillet to play with now. Great job on the seasoning! |
Looks good, and you'd made any southern proud with that grub in the skillet!!!

Oooohhhhhh - that looks good. Makes me want fried chicken now...
