My mother gifted me our childhood cast iron #8. Pretty sad shape and had not been used in years. After little league ball games my brother and I used it for fried bologna sandwiches. Sour kraut and weinies (the red ones that turned the kraut red too). Pineapple upside down cake- fried green tomatoes and Okra etc etc. how Cakes and Cornbread. :-))
Hadn't been used in 20-25 years at least. So stripping it down to metal and starting over
Overnight in HD Trash Bag sprayed w/Off Oven cleaner
Scrubbed with steel wool and rinsed with vinegar water
Into oven at 350 one hour with light coat of lard
Cooled- checked closely and no cracks
Hit with wire wheel to remove tough stuff
Into HD trash bag for 16-24 hours
Will scrub and rinse with vinegar water tomorrow
Immediately back into oven light coat of lard
Then every day for a week then once a month thereafter if not used
