I Use Mineral Oil On All My Cast Parts, You Can Eat It If Ya Like, I Use It On My Meat Grinder Parts To Store Them Till Next Use, I Did All My Dutch Ovens And Frying Pans< Works Great..
MR T what are those bumps for on the lid? I have one of those and I hate it because it is so hard to season it with lard. I will never buy a pot with a lid like that again..
@lavvy2585 The bumps are so the condensation drips properly back over the food, instead of running down the sides and losing moisture. A little patience and putting a pan below to catch the oil should work fine. Season the top and pot separately (pot upside down). You can also do on the gas grill. Thanks for watching!
They are a pain in the butt to wash and put lard on. I hate the word lard and I hate the smell and smearing of it so I am going to get crisco. Thanks for responding I will be subbing.
to get rid of funny tastes in stuff that is pourous absorbing flavors etc... after you do all the cleaning etc.. make a paste of baking soda and coat it then let it soak till the soda dries out, rinse well with plain water, let dry and see if you can still smell it, if so just repeat till it has no smell, you can clean ice chests and fridges like that :) the soda does the work, all it takes is a bit of time and saves money
Wow, I realize that cast iron last through several generations but this process is way too much work. The preseasoned Lodge Dutch Oven cost under $50 at Walmart and their largest 12" skillet is under $18. Some things are worth throwing away if the labor and materials is going to outweigh the price of replacement.
@macuser5555 This is an antique. The work I did on the pot was appreciated because the pot was found in storage at a house my friend purchased. The pot most likely was from the original owner (house built in the 1930's). I agree, I would not put the effort in on a dutch oven that wasn't an antique. Fun science project, though.
I think acidity level is similar, smell is a little less intense in close quarters. I've been using it on my chrome boat parts, and it's been working great. A week at a time with no damage.
Why the apple vinegar? I use normal white viniger on old bike parts and Chrome, usually after 1 day my stuff looks great. Is this a little less harsh ?
Thanks for the awesome posting. I soak my skiver pan in vinegear for two days but there is still rust. I am almost giving up but will try again like the way you did it. Again, you did an awesome job!
@LaFirebird Thanks for the compliment. It was a fun project. Try this for about three days, and each day doing a light scrubbing. Skivers are worth it! Love those things.
Wow - I simply said you could have saved six minutes, and you respond with a personal insult. You would do well to hear feedback without taking it personally.
@MrTDP05 If you let it air dry it will flash rust immediately. You had it cleaned really well the first time. Putting the piece in the oven and heat drying it, then coating it with the fat for seasoning will stop the piece from flash rusting and save you from having to place it in the vinegar again.
@BadWolfMedia If I wasn't going to eat out of it, I would have followed the same. However, flash rust is the same as rust. I was more comfortable getting it down to the bare metal for food purposes.
I made that mistake when I used my logic dutch oven I washed it and put in the sink to dry and was I horrified the next day the whole pot was rusty. Matter of fact if I cook in it and put it in the fridge it always appear to have rust in the areas that has no food. I am ready to toss it out and find an enamel one. The skillet was perfect with no rusting at all and it is much easier to season.
vinegar is acetic acid, the acetic acid is simply turning the rust, iron oxide, into iron acetate. This can be visibly seen when using white vinegar, the iron acetate will form a deep reddish brown coloration much brighter than the orange/black rust. There is no difference in acetic acid concentrations between white vinegar and apple cider.
i am doing my now got 2 they was lost for 10 years or so . I using electrolysis on mine season outside on a bed coals. but your was was good i do it that way next time
Try putting it in a plastic bag then submerge the bag in water you will use alot less vinegar because the will force the vinegar around the Dutch oven just leave open to vent. The vinegar is an acid that is why it cleans the rust. The only problem with vinegar is it will leave a taste in the pot for awhile but using apple vinegar might take care of that. Did it? What was the time and temps you seasoned at?
@toddlfrank Great tip. The apple cider vinegar left immediately. I boiled some water in it then dry heated it out. I did four different cures. 300-325. Anything over that it can smoke (depending on the burn point of what you are using). I did the seasoning for about 1 to 1.5 hours each.
@Beast9156 I don't understand your comment at all. This isn't a car part that you're just trying to get most of the rust off. You are going to eat out of a dutch oven. You don't wan't any rust left prior to cooking out of it. No, the vinegar does not make rust.
I didn't see this when you posted it. I just came across it while posting on your channel. Great job! I added to favorites just in case I have to do this to my own cast. I use my cast daily.
@Randy2747 Thanks for the comments. Doing a new video right now using molasses instead of apple cider vinegar. The watch is called a Rado Sintra Jubile.

Next time use Hydrogen peroxide.
It will literally dissolve the rust.

@bulltexan1 That sounds pretty expensive to do an entire cast iron skillet with hydrogen peroxide. I'm open, though, to the idea.
