- Cast Iron Dutch Oven Restoration is a video where I show the method that I use to remove rust from cast iron cookware in order to restore it for use again. I use a vinegar spray solution to save on the vinegar usage 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.

I have my Grandmother's Dutch Oven and it is so rusty. You make this look so easy. I have all of her Cast Iron Skillets which my mom had. When mom died, I inherited them. They are over 124 years old. I love them and Cherish them. I hope I can restore the Dutch Oven♥️
How'd it go?
I did! And I say if I can do it, you can too! It takes longer to start though!
That's nice, something that old passed down in the family. My brother got our mom's cast iron skillet, and I have a nice collection to pass on to my kids and grandkids.
The discoloration gives it character. Also, you have a great teaching spirit. Thank you!
You did the best job I've ever seen removing the rust from cast iron. I have this type pot that my mother use to call her baked bean pot. She stopped using it back in the early 70s when new fancy cookware came along. The old bean pot was put in my father's barn where he used it for dipping horse feed. The pot then got thrown into an unfloored room in the barn where it stayed for the last 48 years almost. It is rusted brown now. I'm gonna use your way of cleaning up the old bean pot. Thank you so much for doing this video.
When you get it finished, you will also have a great story to go with it as well.
@@castIroncookware Both my folks would be glad to see me clean up the old bean pot...and thanks to you I can do that now! My mother cooked much food in cast iron pots and skillets. Not just beans but biscuits, cornbread, muffins shaped like ears of corn and regular muffins, cakes, even pies and cobblers in the huge skillets along with fried chicken, pork chops, then gravy from the drippings and such. I still have her other cast iron stuff which lasts forever. ...You do a real good channel. Thank you.

@@curtischildress9580 update please.
updates?!?!?! that is so cool!!
For some reason this video gave me so much happiness in a dark place today. Thank you for the content sir.
You are so very welcome.
Past lifetime, you were happy scrubbing cast iron pot. Who knows!
@Chad, I agree 👍
❤❤❤❤hugs from canada
NC girl whose Grandmother used only cast iron; cleaned them with vinegar and seasoned them with Lard she made. Best dang collards and cornbread came out of those pans. I am now a homemaker using cast iron in my modern NY kitchen. Thanks for the Grapeseed oil tip, I am Vegan. Your channel is a Godsend.
You are so very welcome.
Ooooooh...Mmmmm Mmmm...you just made me soooo hungry little lady..
Just came across your video today and I love it. When we moved back into the empty family farmhouse, my husband found a cast iron cookware set in the basement. I have since cleaned them all but after watching this, I will do it again. Thank you for the video.
Awesome!
That was very interesting and a breath if fresh air. This is how people should make videos. Genuine and edited with care so there's no stuttering or confusion. Love that you left the discoloration because it shows realness.
This is the sort of cookware video people need to be watching. We gotta have stuff we can restore over and over, not stuff that has to be replaced over and over.
Look at all those gorgeous cast iron pans behind him! Pure paradise
Long video but so very helpful. I had a brand new Martha Stewart cast iron grill pan but it got rusty. But I threw it away because I thought it was ruined. I needed to see this video 5 year ago. Crying real tears. 😭 Now I understand why my dad went crazy when my mom threw away his rusty cast iron skillet.
Daddy was correct
thank you, my cousin, wasn't taught how to take care of heirloom items so I sent her this
My Dad is the best I know regarding cast iron seasoning... He 'cooks' them in REAL FIRE, and then brillos them before starting the oil seasoning process...! His regular-use pots have a near mirror finish! One more thing: He KNOWS how to use them! 😋
My husband says his mother and grandmother used to build a big fire once a year and put all their cast iron pans on it to burn off the crud before reseasoning it.
Can you put them in the oven to season??
@@ramp-b.1711, yes, you can. Before turning on the oven put aluminum foil on the bottom or on the the rack below the pan, pot, skillet depending on the type of oven you have. This will catch what drips off. There are also videos on how to do it...
If you measure your shortening, and your dry ingredients , you will never have a "crud" to burn off.
The one awesome thing left about YT. Repair and restore videos. Thank you.
You're so very welcome.
I have this exact Dutch Oven I inherited from my Aunt. I just used it today to make a brisket. It came out melt in your mouth delicious. I love cast iron!!! Thanks for the video!!
I have a beautiful cast iron vintage wood burner that needs to be cleaned ... thanks for sharing
Sell that one to me! Great job!
This is one of the few cast iron restoration videos on UA-cam that I can recommend! Excellent job.
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Nice
How do I clean it after use for coming a steak without stopping the seasoning?
@@mrsrowe11 i recommend that you wipe off what you can immediately. If it is stuck on, warm an inch or two of water for a few minutes and then the stuck on stuff should wipe out. If need be use a stainless steel scrubber.
@@mrsrowe11 the sooner after you use it easier it is to clean. On especially hard to get off crust from cooking, you can fill the pan halfway full of water and feed it to almost a boil. Turn off the stove and let it sit for a little bit. Once it gets cold enough to handle the burnt on food will usually come right off with a scrubby and a little bit of dish soap.
This was perfect - all the necessary info and no extra talk.
Great, right!
That's practical all mom would cook with all my life and l like to cook with. Mom would salt her pans with a little lard on stove. It worked. I love the video people use them.
This video was perfect for exactly the reasons you stated! I so agree with you!
Thanks so much! I found a Griswold #10 at my local town dump in the still good pile! It is in great condition other than a very small amount of rust in the bowl. It has lots of flaking on the back. I will be using this great video to help and will check your other videos also. Yea!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I want to thank you so much for sharing how to restore cast iron Dutch pot. It was very informative.
You are such a passionate man. You enjoy what you do.
I don’t even own a Dutch oven, but now I really want to find a rusty one. Awesome job bud!
Thank you so much. I hope you find one soon.
My husband just went and picked one up from an antique store close by in Taylor TEXAS. 10 bucks! Exact size as this one in the video. Can’t wait to season it!
I have the Dutch oven but never had a lid. It belonged to my grandmother. I am 67 and I never knew her. I have had it for 50 years. I have an ugly lid I use for it. It it is the only one that I have found that fit it. I love the pan. Use it all the time. Thanks for the info.
I have a dutch oven exactly like the one in your video. I found it at a thrift store 2 years ago. I didn’t know if it was actually a dutch oven because it’s so old. Your video confirmed. Mine was in excellent condition when I purchased. It had no rust. It had and is still well cared for. I have used it for searing roast and for cabbage on the stove top with it. It cooks great. I’ve never seasoned it, but will now. Mine is silver in color. I hope that it gets darker after seasoning. Thank you for this presentation.😊
This video was timely. We were given a BIG cast iron pot/lid and a round cast iron griddle (both 14 inch) 2 years ago from an old hunter/trapper. They were very rusted and since they've been out in our junk pile and gone through two snowy winters (Yikes!), I thought of throwing them away this coming summer. But after watching this video, them babies are gonna be rescued and used - by me!
That is awesome! You will love them when you are finished with the restoration.
I bought a Dutch oven exactly like that one for $5.00 at an auction and restored it it turned out beautiful thanks for leading the way.
That is awesome! You're welcome and thank you for watching.
I did too I love my cast iron, I just ordered a cast iron pie pan
@@castIroncookware Good video.I have a cast-iron pot that’s sticky how can I clean that so it’ll be as good as new
@@bevgleason9089 give it a thorough scrubbing with dish soap, apply a little bit of cooking oil, wipe away as much as you possibly can and bake for about an hour at 450 degrees.
Want to sell?
I had a cast iron pan that I had for sale at an antique show. I had a lady ask me how I got the pan all black. I answered "by using it". 🤣🤣 ✌🏻❤
Truth.
Sir, thank you for educating me, imparting your knowledge.
I enjoyed how you made that
cast iron shine.
BLESSING
Getting ready to sell about 100 collectible cast iron skillets: Wagner Ware, Griswold...etc. They were my husband's uncle's collection. Thanks so much for your video. I wanted to find out how to treat them without doing any damage. This was really helpful.
I have two Griswold skillets that I use often.
Where will you be selling them?
@Jackee Schwartz by chance, have you sold them yet? And if you have not, where will you be selling them at?
@@MzClementine I'll be selling them on my eBay store called Planet Einstein. Don't have them listed yet. Still cleaning them.
I was just about to throw away a family heirloom Dutch oven, I glanced over at it and I said what the heck. Might as well give it a vinegar bath. I CAN NOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH! 😊
You are so very welcome. Thank you for taking on the job of preserving a little bit of history too.
The stuff I find myself watching!!!😂😂😂 honestly super satisfied with this video the guy seems like a genuinely good person
What he said. 5 stars
Amazing... Thank you! great tip for keeping my iron pots... God Bless
Lol...I was thinking the.exact same.thing. He has a easy personality and does seem like good people.
👍

That’s probably the most gorgeous Dutch oven I had ever seen!
I'm glad I've found this video. Someone who had my house before me left quite a few cast iron cookware and full of rust and I can't wait to get to working on them
I inherited my Gramma's and have never used it, simply because I have never seasoned it, (nor cleaned it; as you have proven -can be done!).... this video is a game changer!.... thank you for sharing!....
You are absolutely welcome and thank you for watching.
I have one that is very rusted, been in our family from the 1900, and I want to keep, and restore to it’s glory of good old Deep South cookin. Thank you for sharing it’s a great help!
I saw a site where others built a fire and threw it in. Rust does burn. It's used in thermyte.
It's just crazy that so many people toss these cast iron pots and pans out ! I've always cleaned them like you, and put them to use again. Great informative video, thank you ! ✌️🇨🇦
May I ask if it’s white distilled vinegar or the dark type.. I’d like to try this but wanted to make sure which type of vinegar please! Thank u blessings from California 😁🙏

Good morning. I speak spanish, but I understood your explanation well. You speak very clear and relaxed. Now I know how to properly care for my cast iron cookware.
I have an old cast kettle we use on a tripod over a camp fire. One season water was accidentally left in it and it rusted....BADLY. As I was just about to take a wire wheel grinder to it and start the seasoning process over, a friend came by and saw what was going on and said stop. This was his(quick) fix for the rusty kettle. Fill it 3/4 full with clean water, bring to a rolling boil over an open flame (outdoor only fix) at the boiling point quickly throw in a handful of baking soda (stand back, it foams up fast.) did this twice and could not believe the results. Kettle looked like new on the inside.Seasoned it and was back in use that afternoon. No wire brush, sanding or scraping needed.Thanks Skip !!
That is awesome information. If I ever get a tea kettle, I will have to try that.
I do the vinegar step and, once neutralised, I sprinkle baking soda on the pot and then add concentrated lemon juice.... let it sit a couple of minutes and voila!! Ready to season....
I own several cast iron pieces. Thank you for sharing the way for me to keep my pieces for many years to come.
Thank you, your third person I've watch. You di it perfectly. I'd rather follow you your better. God bless for being on here!🍲
Hey there! Something that's worked for me. I buy my wife new washcloths for stocking staffers at Christmas. Innocent and pain free 😉
After watching numerous videos about cast iron I came across yours thankfully. Might I say you made this an incredibly easy, informative and idiot proof experience. Love this video.
I have a Dutch oven exactly like the one you restored. Of course it has rust, and I didn't realize how easy it is to remove it.
I was watching a channel today and had to comment. The woman was telling people lodge was not collectible because it was a new company that had just been around a few years. I commented and informed her the lodge company started making cast iron cook wear in the 1890s. I was polite about it.
I like your channel because you give good and informative information and show the right way to restore cast iron.
Being polite is always the way to go. People are more receptive and more open to change when respect is involved.
I just purchased a cast iron pot set. When I first got it, my husband put them in the dish washer to clean them. Needless to say, all the pieces rusted, badly! He tried CLR to clean them but I definitely will show him this video to de-rust them the proper way! Thank you so much for this video!! Bless you!!
😳 The stuff of nightmares ...
I will assume he cleaned up his errors? Maybe he'll get a rectangular Rubbermaid container, rubber gloves, a bristle scrubber, a box of Brillo pads and a gallon of vinegar for Father's Day? 🧐
P.S.: Oh, yes, and a sprayer to apply it (and himself) with.
I promise you it works every single time. It's the only way we clean our cast iron. Not sure if I ever thank this man...
@johnbesharian9965 I saw his video years ago and applied it to our cast iron pots. My friend don't believe me when I told her it is an old pot. 😂
The staining just adds character
Beautiful job.
Thank you.
I may just go and find our old cast iron pan in the basement that I didn’t really know how to de-rust, clean & use. I keep hearing how healthy cast iron is to cook with. Video was very well done! Thank you!
I did ..and this upload was a genius god sent of information on restoring cast iron
Thank you for sharing the most gentle fast and beautiful way to clean rust off have a beutefull life
I have three ovens , Furphy 20 inch. A stew in one would feed 50 people. I never clean the outside, and I never use detergent in any of my ovens. Cheers. Doug👍👍
This is the best video ever! Thank you so much for posting.
We really enjoyed this and learned a few things. Going to tackle a few of our cast irons pots and pans soon. Thank you!
I inherited that EXACT dutch oven plus a smaller one. Same size and all. It was left outside by the previous owner and stored with old cooking oil in it to the point that the lid stuck to the base. This video is a godsend. Thank you so much!
My wife inherited from her father an identical Lodge #8 cast iron dutch oven with lid. Our son uses it to bake traditional sourdough bread. The oven spring from the cast iron and a few sprites of water is absolutely amazing.
No restoration was required since it was well cared for by her father who was born in 1914 and knew how to use and maintain cast iron cookware.
Thank you for helping me to identify our vintage Lodge #8 cast iron dutch oven and lid.
That is awesome! I am glad that I was able to help you in learn the maker of your Dutch Oven.
Thank you for the cast iron restoration lessons. My mum gave me a nice cast iron frying pan. It has a bit of rust at the bottom and I didn't know what to do. I know now because of your great video :)
I have one of these with some rust & can't wait to use your technique to repair it!! So glad I found your channel! Love cast iron.
Love your collection ! I have one of these Dutch ovens in my car and about to clean it up. Thank you for the great video, was very helpful.
I have watched several videos on restoring cast iron pots and you by far is the best. Thank you!
The pan cave 😆 😆 I love it 🥰
WOW I would give you a kabillion likes if I could!! That was amazing and very helpful with rust issues and how much your simple yet effective way of cleaning works in the kitchen!! Thank you so much for showing and sharing!! ...and yes..I wish I had an iron Dutch oven too! I have 1 antique 8 inch skillet I use for baking 🙂👍👍❤
Awesome video. Learned a lot. Thank you for showing this. I’ve been wanting to save my moms old cast iron pan that’s started rusting!
Beautiful! It's truly amazing what a difference the seasoning process made. I am more confident in looking for old cast iron for a discount price! These cast iron pots and pans are truly generational and to be treasured.
Indeed!
@@curtischildress9580 I have one like this(dutch oven), my Mother gave my husband, It got too heavy for her to lift off stove when full of food, I'm going to pass this down to my daughter , It is a treasure, ...Thank You~
@@toosexy7955 These old pots will last forever. Tell your daughter to keep passing it down in the family. I'm the 4th generation to actually own my pot...it came from my great grandparents.
Thank you, that was amazingly informative
Excellent video! I wondered how one cleaned a rusty cast iron pan and now I know! Thank you!!!
Beautiful transformation. Super helpful. Thank you!
i knew there'd be a channel for my new cast iron enthusiasm.
this is so calming to listen to
Wow amazing, I have a small pan I think I will do that to my plan great idea I use this for cleaning, did not know you can clean a cast iron pot !
I recently bought a Dutch Oven and getting ready to restore and use. Great tips! Thank you so much!
Great video. Thank you so much. I have a frying pan that is pretty rusty that I have been putting off cleaning for a few years now. I can’t wait to use your method and get it cleaned up.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2022 🥳
I luv this video and I love how much u love doing this its ur pride and joy other than ur family of course. Its great when u see instant gratification
thank-you for this presentation. i really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate the time you took to carefully explain each step. Now I finally know how to properly clean and season my cast iron wares.
Thank you!! My mom needed to take care of her Lodge Dutch oven and this told us exactly what we needed to do.
Wow!!! I just received some cast iron pieces from a friend that were never used and need some serious tlc. I have this exact piece that you've cleaned here and I honestly thought it may be a lost cause. So thankful I came across this video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I found 2 frying pans at my parent's house that need this, and I plan to do this. I have watched your video more than once. Thank you again!
This is exactly what I needed to watch. I love caste iron, and I have a few. I need to learn how to de-rust the older pots and pans that I have picked up from the second hand stores. Thank you 😊 💓
Best advice I've heard on cast iron maintenance! Thanks👍
Helpful. Got one in the barn, going to do this.
I love your videos, I got about 4cast iron pans and a Dutch oven as well. LOVE them. Best cookware ever. Thank you for teaching us how to keep these beauties looking/ working their best.🙌💯👏
You my man are an artist, saving a piece of history and art. Love you collection. Great job~!
I have a couple of rusted cast iron pans in my garage. I will definitely try your method for restoring them. Thanks so much.
I always put the pan on my stove and heat dry,before I put away,,,never a rust problem..Skillet is 70 years old,,granmas and moms now mine,,
Me too!
That's what Mom always did!
I put mine on the stove the other day to dry it but forgot to take it off. It was very dry and the house was filled with smoke but the skillet was quite dry and clean. Had to season it!
I have always done mine same way.
When I first started using cast iron it was a pice my roomate had for quite some time, and he was a good bit older than me but both of us were still ignorant about uaing cast iron, we would literally leave it to soak after cooking eggs and then we also just towel dried it, but nothing bad ever happened, the seasoing on the skillet was immensely thick, I swear so much more goes wrong with my cast iron now that I actually do take care of it lol
Just got a few pans as a 'throw in' at an auction for other stuff. Excited to watch your other videos on cleaning up these very old, well used pans I got. So interesting what you can learn!
Indeed...👍🏾
My husband bought me a Dutch Oven, this is awesome, didn't know how to clean it safely, thank you for your Video 👍💕🙂
This was *so* helpful! Thank you for sharing, really enjoy this video and looking forward to discovering more.
I’m new to restoring and you have been a great deal of wisdom! Cast iron has become my passion between the history, cooking and restoration of it. Thank you and I look foreword to many more videos!!
Thank you for this video. It's good to know that we can our cast iron when it's rusty instead of throwing it away. Carolyn
Thank you for the information. I’ve watched several videos on seasoning and restoring cast iron skillet but you actually went in to enough detail to make me realize what I was doing wrong. I used this video to save my daughters 13” Lodge that her older sister left in a sink of water.
I’m 66 and remember my father building a small fire and “burning” my mother’s cast iron “spider”…. The one she fried chicken in.
He’d set it in the fire till all the crud burned off, let it cool then rub crisco on it. Then he’d put it on a low fire till it cooked the oil into the the spider. He let it cool then wash and dry it just like your last step. That spider is still around. I don’t ever remember seeing one flake of rust on it while he was living. Thank you for sharing how to properly care for and keep all my cast iron for my daughter.
He took care of us just like he did that cookware… with love.
I truly appreciated your teaching on seasoning. I couldn’t figure out why my my cast iron griddles would rust in certain spots!! God bless you!
Thank you so much for a very thorough and well explained process. I had great success with my old Lodge Dutch Oven I picked up at an auction following your techniques. I'm looking forward to cooking in it soon! Many, many thanks again!!!
This is yet the best video i have seen. its very well thought out> i have 2 small cast iorn pans that were giving to me from a friend that have seen some good weather damage. ill be starting with this method! thats for this video!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us 💕
Watching you honor that Dutch oven, is a blessing♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, this is awesome. I just followed your instructions and cleaned up a cast iron pot I found at a yard sale. Looking forward to cooking in it!
It is so rewarding being able to use a piece that you have put back in service yourself.
My neighbor was putting a brand new rusty sauce pan in the trash but I rescued it! I started your method but I didn’t get all of the rust off but I got 90% off. I don’t have a scrubby but I plan to get one this weekend. I’ll have to recover my strength before I do scrubbing again lol! It has raised letters & numbers inside on the bottom so the scrubby will have to do the job!😆
Outstanding Instructive and clear.
Evening got the key points on the first viewing. I’ll watch it again just before I’m ready to de rust my first piece of cast iron cookware.
Thank you!
So helpful!! I wish I would of seen your videos prior to all the times I've seen rusted cast iron cookware at thrift stores. I always thought they were ruined. But now I know! Thank you so much.
fantastic! look forward to seasoning my pan!
Absolutely the best video concerning rust removal out there!
Thank you so much. That is very encouraging and thank you for watching.
This video earned my subscription. Answered all my questions in detail. Thank you for posting
I really like cooking with cast iron and I have I want a dutch oven and I haven't had one for years and years but this man is the best to clean and care for this cast iron he is the best
