  • Rusty Cast Iron Skillet Restoration is a video where I show the method that I use to remove rust from a rusty cast iron skillet in order to restore it for use again. I use a vinegar spray solution to save on the vinegar usage and I go through the steps that you need to take to keep from damaging the cast iron cookware. You will also get to see the finished product after three rounds of seasoning has been applied.

    Thank You for another great video. I noticed what looked like some Lady Bess pieces on the wall and then you mentioned the one on the table. This is the first I have heard or seen these items for many years. My first cast iron was a new set of Lady Bess, it came in a wooden crate. That was in the mid to late 70's. There are still a few items in my collection.

    This may inspire me to bring my camp ovens in and clean up the neglect before it's too late. I'm already subscribed. Checked out your recipe for the easy beezy and will probably order some when money is better. Good idea; I think it would save money in the long run by preventing over Pours.

I do have one pan that is rusted I found at Salvation Army, but I still bought it! YES! They are GOLD, in MY opinion!!! BEST pans to cook in! I LOVE my cast iron!!!! Thank you DEARLY for this video!!! It was amazing to watch vinegar and water REMOVE RUST!!! Just WOW!!!!! I'm subscribing!!!! So happy you've made this channel!!! I found you from another channel where someone mentioned this channel you've made! Awesome!!! I also see you have a Keto/Carnivore section! Yay!!! I'm in the middle but tend to be mostly meat heavy with very little veg, so it's Ketovore! Can't wait to check that out!!!
    I am curious to learn what oils you use in your product? I'll go to the website and make sure they are Keto friendly! NO bad seed oils!!! I hope yours doesn't have them! Knowing you now, I doubt you have any bad stuff in your product! Perfect!! And thanks!

      @blakelanders6966 Рік тому

      @@merrireilly8961 You can scrub it off with sea salt or an abrasive pad, then reseason. It was probably caused by applying to thick of a layer of oil or I also hear if you only use flaxseed oil it will flake off after a while.

    Flash rust. THAT was my problem! I did as you suggested and the flash didn't have a chance to return. Prior to watching you, I stripped it in the oven on self-clean, did the vinegar...nothing worked. I think this method will. My cast iron dutch oven is in the oven now for it's first round or re-seasoning. Thank you so much!

    Even though there is some elbow grease required, your method is straightforward and easy to follow. I found a covered saucepan in an old chicken coop. (No idea why it was there - to save time walking the latest victim to the kitchen?) It's very rusty with big drips and other stains. The bottom markings: A small round chop that I can't make out with the letters "W. K. M." underneath; then these stacked phrases "2QT SAUCE PAN"; "MADE IN TAIWAN"; "1B" . The inside of the lid has either "2T" or "12" depending which way is up. Cleaning may make the marks more visible. I don't see how bacteria or other nasties will survive the process, so I'm not worried on that score. Here goes nothing!

    I just use the Easy-Off oven cleaner method…works really well and not a lot of heavy scrubbing involved which is great if you are a senior citizen or if you have arthritis in your hands. And actually if you buy a box of SOS soap pads and a box of Brillo pads, you will see a big difference in the two. I prefer the SOS brand myself. I have a huge collection of cast iron pans with some of them dating to the mid 1850’s. I even have the cast iron skillet that my Illinois grandparents started housekeeping with in October of 1897….looks and cooks just like it did back them. If everyone started out with good cast iron…and took care of it correctly…..they would have great pans to last a lifetime!

    #1 I saw this and have your Exybreezy coming to me because I want to try something new. Let me say, as a retired Army cook vet and a retired Navy vet, that you heat the wax to get a good shine on your boots (seen people set the Kewe wax on fire to melt it). You melt the wax and use spit and lots of time. The idea is the heat works the wax into the imperfections of the leather (AKA shiny boots).
    Cast iron if you put it on the stove and START to heat it up. Add a tsp of water and a tsp of oil and use a WATER WET paper towel; as the pan heats on the stove, the oil will fill the inpoprofections on the surface. You will get a telethon-level nonstick pan that looks like you used black glossy paint. Very very pretty shine that works very well. Spit shine your pan (do not use spit), and you can drop a slice of cheese in the skillet, flip it, and get a cool cheese snack. (well, warm snack)

    • @stevenlennaman2073
      @stevenlennaman2073 7 місяців тому +1

      @@Scorpiyo360 Take the pan, wet it (still wet), and add about one or two teaspoons of oil. Use a damp paper to work the oil in. (I forgot to say use tounges, not your fingers). Steam can be painful, so be careful. As the pan heats, the oil thins and smoothes out the fat. Make a gleaming service. Also, every 6 months, I heat all my cast iron in the oven to about 160 to 200 degrees F. Put a teaspoon of oil on all my cast Iron, then return to the oven at 500 deg F for an hour. Please turn off the oven and leave it in for 6 hours as it cools slowly.
