there is one immediate thing you notice with cast iron vs non stick. YOu notice when you fry in cast iron the pans actually absorbs the oil where as non stick does not. I have cast iron an agree for some things it unbeatable but non stick cookware is still the only way you can cook certain foods with zero sticking. Even in a well seasoned iron pan you cant fry eggs with zero oil without zero sticking. pro chefs use non stick pans so they have their place. they are better for some food
Look up electrolysis rust removal. Let the pot sit over night and scrub clean in the morning. I've cleaned pots up that were in way worse shape than that and didn't even break a sweat.
@neo71665 i tried that yesterday it only took a few hours its great! you just put the stuff it there come back in a few hurs, rub off the rust with a sponge or scotch brite or wire brush whatever it was so easy and cleans out pitting very well
Tam, thanks so much for the video; I did exactly what you showed and mine came out GREAT! I did the egg test as well. It cooks great! My mom gave it to me; it was left outdoors for years and in terrible shape. Thank you so much!!! I'm looking for the next piece to tackle.
I have had great luck using soap less(not SOS) steel wool and vegetable oil. I scraped the surface rust off first, then poured oil in the dutch ovens and let it sit for a bit. I then scrubbed it with the steel wool. If it is severally rusted you may need to repeat the oil soak and scrub. Then rinsed it with water and dried. Then I cured it with Crisco™ and they are just fine.
Putting a rusted cast iron item in a good fire for a while, it depends on the item but we are talking minutes as apposed to hours. Pull it out and allow to cool. Most of thr rust will go. Much less elbow grease.
Put it in a 55 gallon drum of water. Get a car battery, attach the positive to the pot, and the negative to the water with a cable. It wont fix the pits and falls in the metal, but it will turn salvageable again. Tales 24 hours usually. Also this is green, depending on your reuse and use of the battery and how you obtain the energy.
honestly i would never use oven cleaner. it's toxic. i'm new to this channel so I do not wish to offend anyone but I would never feel safe using an item to cook with after having used oven cleaner on it. So I suppose I would stop at the foil and vinegar if it didn't work and then like someone suggested here--burn it off in a fire. Is there some reason why one would not use steel wool? Could someone comment on that?
Thanks for the comments Bro.. There are many ways to do things.. and each person should do what works best for them. Even though Oven cleaner is toxic.. once the pan is well cleaned it's no longer a problem. We did try steel wool.. but what we have is #0000 and it didn't work well. Perhaps #0 or #00 would work better.. but we didn't have any. Burning does work.. but it doesn't really remove rust.. Remember.. this was an EXTREME case.. and we were just showing possible techniques.
@BushcraftOnFire Thanks for responding. I would not have had a clue how to even begin to clean the rust so it was good to know good ole vinegar was part of the equation. I do think I'll skip the oven cleaner, though, since I'm an organic eating kinda person. All your videos are great stuff! Good to see you offer to share your ideas and everyone share their ideas! Much appreciated!!!
funny I'm watching this now..during the week my buddy@ the scrapyard9best friend?scalemaster Steve lol0 just told me about the "burnoff"trick! he said'put it to a fire(woodfire or torch or grille) then just wah it like normal< then re season it! love the video"s and have used lots of them 2 my adv. lol
My dear lady, you are much more ambitious then me. Long ago someone introduced me to Naval Jelly. No, it's not for the belly button. It is an acid jelly that bonds with rust. Brush it on and wait about 10 minutes, no more then that. Rinse off with water. It's that simple. Still rusty, do it again. Once it has removed the rust maybe touch it with your tin foil or emery cloth, wash with soapy water and recondition with veggie oil.
After a short scrub, use baking soda. baking soda bonds to the rust and will pull it off easily, at least thats what i do and seams to work great for me
i always use my drill and wire brusch on it,every year just before camping season.It works perfect and is shining as a "dogs balls"(we say that in poland).Trying to remember to oil the pot after wasching helps too.
Yes.. we actually tried that on part.. we were concerned that it turned the iron "silvery" but have found that's not a problem. Also.. this was so bad.. that even the wire wheel wouldn't clean some of it..especially where the deep pitting was. But you have the right idea Bro.. thanks for the comment
@BushcraftOnFire That "silvery" appearance is called burnishing.. it happens when you rub metal with another hard object. For the deep pitting, a grinder or a wire cup will blast it away in no time, with no chemicals or wasted aluminum foil.
@LOUGHT80 Seriously... a stiff wire wheel (or wire cup) will scale off nearly anything, even the deep pitted rust. A grinder will get the rest, of if you happen to have access, a needle gun is ideal (used all the time in the Navy for cleaning up rust and old paint on ships). Bead blasting would do this job in about 10 minutes as well. Hit it with some 400 or 600 grit sandpaper by hand to smooth it out, clean & rinse thoroughly, then season it up like new. Could even braze on a new handle.
Man, this couldn't have come at a better time. Just rusted the inside edge of a cast iron skillet earlier today. I was wonderin' how to rescue it! Thanks!
not to pry but i have cleaned my cast iron a few time and what i do is start a fire get pan hot then take a red brick and scrub the pan when that is done put back into fire then when hot pull out of fire then heavy oiled let cool off works for me
You're not prying at all Bro! We have found through the many comments to this video that there are LOTS of different ways people have done this. Of course.. remember.. this pan wasn't just rusty.. there was pitting up to 1/4" inside and outside of the pan.. it was a severe case. Seems like you have a valid method as well!
Hi Tam, I love all your videos, their always so well done and informative. In the past, I've had decent success using a vinegar and baking soda paste, but I have to tell you, I've never tackled a pot that bad.Thanks a bunch.
Here's a vid I came across a while back! The guy uses Electrolysis with a battery charger and a five gallon bucket of water, then wire brushes the pits out!
watch?v=R5I5WBG5HPw Would definitely save you a lot of Elbow Grease!
Cast Iron lasts forever. Still using cast iron that was my grandmothers and I am a old fart (54). Don't know how old it is. Well seasoned and keep it oiled. Have a great day. Cooks the best with a little care.
I was wonder if putting the pan into a fire and burning it off would work. What are your thoughts. Also, I have a pressurized sand blaster. What if I used that and then re-cured the pan? What do you think? I guess I was trying to find an easy way out to avoid all the elbow grease. Thanks as always. Love the channel and I am a subscriber.
The fire will probably help out.. As for sandblasting.. as long as you don't do it hard enough to pit the iron any more I think it would definitely be the answer!
@BushcraftOnFire Thanks for the heads up on the pitting from sand blasting. It especially hit home to me in the second video as your wife explained the importance of a cured smooth surface to prevent sticking. Thanks again.
The frying pan with these old greases, directly in fire… and to make redden the frying pan….then… the metal brush! Attention with the metal stoves or bronzes… various temperatures. to supervise! A reddening a half hour can be enough!
cast should be cleaned with a stainless steel brush or pads as it is a very porous grainy metal and can be easily contaminated (even by aluminum). Boiling the vinegar add's to its effectiveness. also vinegar mixed with salt doesn't make hydrocloric acid. i like the vid tho keep it up
Tam, you should check out beast12101's video on just soaking rusted cast iron in apple cider vinegar for a week. It removes all rust down to bare metal without scrubbing.
Years ago I coated a rusty camp oven in molasses for a few days after brushing off loose rust. It came up magnificently and I re-oiled it before it rusted again.
Thank you again for another great video.In an old video you mentioned that you store food in 2 litre bottles and wax it shut.That you might do a video on that.i was hoping that you would do so if it is possible.It is another way to save a few dollars and would love to see it.Thank you again for the great info you all post here.God Bless
@dorsey4144 I'll keep that in mind for a video idea :) Lately I've been collecting beans and putting them in my hubby's protein mix container and sealing them. Works great :)
I saw someone do a video on cleaning some old tools he found in an old pick-up toolbox he bought. He just soaked the tools for 2 days in apple cidar vinegar and the rust just all just wiped right off. You might try that next time and see if you can avoid some work.
@simpleman2423 because this was not only rust, it had gone through layers of baked on patina....just vinegar wouldn't do the trick. It does work for plain rust though!
We actually did use a wire brush on the drill for a few of the harder spots.. but it seemed to leave the cast iron "silvery" so we weren't sure about it. Good idea with the Hydrochloric Acid!
@VonLeachim Hi there, I couldn't find my wire brush :) Yes that's another way to do it, I used the oven cleaner because this pan was left outside for many years. Thanks for sharing :)
I did wash the pan in several washes and also baked it for several hours. Same as cleaning your oven, the bad stuff bakes off.
hi Dave, Tam, could you show me how to turn a dog chew made of raw hide into usable leather, i would love to see how this is done as i've heard it can be. thanks, still loving the vids,
@luvu2luvme Sure thing, I'll pass it on to Chris, he's been working hard on various hides. I'll have to record some of his work. Thanks so much for the input and support and idea :)
I've had good results with restoring cast iron simply by soaking the item is apple cider vinegar for a couple of days. I suspect any vinegar will do the same job. Soaking the cast iron item in water for a week or two will also provide the same results with no elbow grease involved.
Interesting! I had a cast iron pan in pretty bad shape and I cleaned it up by browning some rock salt(course sea salt) in it, then scrubbing it with the salt and some steel wool. Afterward I gave it a good coat of oil and baked it(to seal it with the oil), and it's like new! Mine wasn't in nearly the destitute condition of the one you're using though :-/ Looking forward to part 2!
wow guys. thats amazing! :P love all your videos and keep up the good work. i love what you have tought me and filling in the spaces between with creativity. i took a fairly long green branch, and where smaller brances came off i cut them short and tied them together into a loops to form fishing rod eyes. works great! ;)
@Hirt1026 Hi there, if it';s just some rust, you can probably take care of it all with vinegar, regular or apple cider :) Let me know how it turns out.
salt mixed with oil and elbow grease works well to remove rust
