Cleaning rust on cast iron? - Page 2

ManakooraMan · 12-10-2012, 05:41 PM

had a beauty lodge dutch oven that had a good amount rust. put it on oven self clean and the rust (and seasonin) fell off. then had to re-season.

in retrospect, would just wipe clean with water and then just start using. cast iron rust from neglect/disuse.

I saw a thing on the food network where they scrubbed the cast iron pots with salt and canola oil then put the pans in the oven for a while. Not sure of the specifics but I am sure they still have that on there website.

according to the USP (which gives the standards for pharmaceuticals and ingredients), phosphoric acid "has a pleasantly acidic taste when diluted sufficiently."

and I always remember the first thing hearing/teaching in a lab class was not to smell or taste your chemicals.

I had a wagner fry pan that was in rough shape, I did a high temp burn in my Akorn (700ish degrees) for about 30 minutes with the pan in there. EVERYTHING came off, reasoned, now it's in great shape.

PM motoeric. He tested a product that worked well and did a review of it in the Smoke Signals magazine. I want to say that it was a little over a year ago, but my memory could be off.
