The Easy Guide On Seasoning and Restoring Cast Iron

Cast Iron is honestly very easy to work with, once you understand HOW to work with it. Even if you have a rusty cast iron that needs restored, you can fix it at home with minimal tools. Then season your pots, pans, skillets, and other cast iron pieces perfectly to a nice glossy finish.

  1. Thanks! I know this video was 7 years ago but Im just seeing it now! I got a #8, #5, and #3 for $5 each but they need cleaned up.

  2. True Story, yesterday, i found that very same Lodge Skillet on a bus stop in NYC, it weighs a ton, all rusted, vinegar and water soulution worked, now I am going to season in,

  3. Here after putting a soggy pizza box on top of my cast iron, had to use my stainless steel pan & it’s just not the same.. 😮‍💨

  4. Beautiful restoration. The even seasoning suggests you kept the oven temp steady — most people rush the polymerization step. What oil did you use for the final coat?
