Well as a cast iron restoration business I have some advise. Throw that baking soda away. Use the vinegar at 50/50 with water scrubbing the inside of the pan with a stiff brush. Several times until the rust is gone. Wash with soap and water. Dry completely with paper towels then heat on stove to remove any remaining moisture. Then the rest of your process is fine. I would recomend crisco for your first two or three seasoning cycles. That way you only need to heat oven to 425 for and hour. Then first few cooking cycles cook high fat food like bacon then maybe carmalizing some onions and real butter. This will give the skillet a good start. The baking soda neutralizes your vinegar and made it useless. Vinegar is a mild acid and will remove the rust. Don't use baking soda to restore a rusty skillet. Salt is a better abrasive to scrub a skillet to clean it if you happen to get food residue left in it. Good luck!
Not to be disrespectful but refined canola oil carbonizes better also has a much higher smoke point of 475 to 490 degrees fahrenheit which produce a far more durable seasoning than crisco or lard will ever achieve. Better yet Avocado oil if you like the taste it's smoke point is 500 to 520 degrees fahrenheit. The biggest myth out there is the best seasoning oil is flaxseed oil it's smoke point is lower than crisco and it carbonizes so hard it's brittle and thermal cycles crack the seasoning coating and it flakes. Don't tell me because I put the oil on to thick is why it flaked either, because I wipe it down to remove all the excess and when I put it in the oven with my white oven mitts it's dry to the touch nothing on my mitts. To bake the seasoning in. Furthermore flaxseed isn't a cooking oil it's a condiment oil it's low smoke point makes it carcenogenic to cook with a big no no as far as cooking. Same with any seed oil. And you were definitely correct about the baking soda and Vinegar. I mean I would've cleaned it with straight 30% vinegar undiluted no water watch the rust disintegrate rinsed it then use baking soda and water to neutralize the vinegar so it don't continue eating into the iron. Rinse one more time put it on the stove to heat it dry and then do the first coat of seasoning and bake at 500° for 1hr. Let cool in oven till room temp repeat 5 or 6 times based on results till BLACK LOCK JON STYLE IS ACHIEVED! LOL 😆
Wow, you've sparked interesting discussions in your comments section! I thought I was seasoning my new, "pre-seasoned" cast iron skillet properly, but when I checked last week, I saw that it's got a bunch of rust on it. Maybe I didn't season it since it said it was pre-seasoned ... I can't remember! Anyway, it was the Lodge two-piece iron skillet set, just like the one you restored, so I'm reading up on removing the rust from you and your commenters! Thanks Old Man!
You'll frequently find cast iron pans with food cooked onto the interior. These may be cleaned by soaking them with vinegar and scouring them carefully. Once you have cleaned the exterior, the standard format of wiping the surfaces with oil (I use lard) and baking at 450° for an hour and allowing the pan to cool in the oven until warm to the touch will do it. Cure with oil at least twice and more properly three or four times. I have a Wagner fry pan that I have done that with and it's a marvel to cook with.
A great place to find cast iron is your local scrap iron place just found a 10" chicken fryer, a 10 " regular skillet and another 10" skillet plus a lid that will fit either of the skillets. I paid .30 cents per pound and it only cost me 6.00 dollars for all. Happy hunting.
i used heat angle grinder with wire wheel. electric mouse 60 grit 80 grit 120 grit. rinsed washed with hot soapy water. rinsed again very well. dried over stove top very well. light coat grape seed oil 550 in oven 1 hour repeated process 4 more times for a total of 5 times. my 110 year old pan looks brand new.

Borax helps, too.
@@Jon-O. Fahrenheit? But you are not from earth, are you? On earth we use degrees Celsius.
@@matsch-o-man 260 C°
Thanks for the additional info!
Nicely done! Good to see some youtubers NOT use power tools lol

That's a first ! I've never seen the three Stooges in relation to re seasoning a cast iron pan before LOL ( but , that's exactly how it feels ) !!!!
Stooges rule!
Great job, I also fried bacon and some potatoes in it to finish the seasoning process thoroughly
Great idea! The more grease, the better!
Place the skillet upside down in the oven, run the cleaning cycle… it will knock all the crud off. Good video. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome DIY Thanks Clifford!!
That's right I got some cast iron skillets pass down from great grand parents and it still look like new.
OK guys - thanks for the info!
i used heat angle grinder with wire wheel. electric mouse 60 grit 80 grit 120 grit. rinsed washed with hot soapy water. rinsed again very well. dried over stove top very well. light coat grape seed oil 550 in oven 1 hour repeated process 4 more times for a total of 5 times. my 110 year old pan looks brand new.
Wow! I bet it does look brand new- good work!
Thx old man, from another old man.
You're welcome! We have to support each other.
1:21 yea, hold the skillet against the light so that nobody can see what you want to show them. Is that your first video?
DO YOU LET IT COOL IN THE OVEN OR DO YOU REMOVE IT?
Let it cool in the oven.
Just think, all the good ole iron skillets, that have been thrown in the garbage over the years!
You don't use canola oil for seasoning cast iron,you use pure lard.
In the end the rust didnt all come off. Ever watched hillbilly blood? Look how Eugene and Spencer cleaned that old rusty gun. With electrolysis.
You are correct- the electrolysis is a great method- just takes a while to set up.
The only thing that’s worse than a rusty cast iron skillet is a rusty trombone.

It's called artistic license. Thanks for the feedback.
