Its not often you find a GOOD video of doing this the right way, thank you!

Love the video, thanks. What is in the electrolysis tank? Is it just plain water?

[@CastThatIron]

Plain water - but with added sodium carbonate (washing soda). The ratio is 5 gallons water to 1/2 cup washing soda.

How old is this Griswold griddle that now looks like new?

[@Panholistic]

Edit looked again its around 80 years old as written in the video.

[@CastThatIron]

Yeah… around 1940s. Came out really nicely, didn’t it! Still my favorite pan.

[@dolores2716]

Can I do this with the battery charger for my car?

[@CastThatIron]

Yes. As long as it can operate in “manual” mode.

[@abdulalibux1416]

Very cool... Always wanted to try this.

And just think... someone let it get to that point and was cooking on it while it was in that crusty condition. Disgusting.
