Cast Iron Renovation
My mom has had an old CI griddle in her back patio for years. I'm guessing at least 5 years. I thought it was always junk. But now I know that CI can be renovated. Heres my shot at fixing up the old griddle.
I scrubbed it with salt. Got some of the rust off. Still had a bunch of rust, so I used oven cleaner. Sprayed both sides and put it in a bag overnight. The next day I rinsed it and scrubbed it down with 000 steel wool and managed to get everything off...even the paint! Took a lot of work but well worth it. Now I'm wanting more junk!!

Well seasoned cast iron beats any other cookware, hands down.

You did a wonderful job. I have some Wagner pieces too. Most of my griddles are the style with the bail.

I can't imagine life without my cast iron (10 pieces) just breathed life into an antique 14", 4" deep frying pan. Just used it for my morning bacon and eggs for a month and spent about 3 minutes each morning with a 1/2 c. of coarse salt and a couple paper towels. It passes the over medium test with ease now.

Thirdeye,
After a cook like that(which looks wonderful), what is the best way to clean and maintain the cast iron? Smoothsmoke, What are you going to use the cast iron griddle for? Inside or exterior cooking? Thanks, jon |
