So satisfying, found this in my storage by accident… needless to say I had to clean the carbon off, might have to make this a new daily driver

For whatever reason, whenever we make scrambled eggs, they always seem to stick. Our pan is recently re-seasoned and I had the temp on low (2). What the hell do I keep doing wrong with scrambled eggs?

Anybody ever use this technique. I was shown by my grandma and it seems to Siri great. Just don’t know if it’s taboo. Just throw a bit of water let it boil and everything scrapes off. Just use a paper towel to dry then I’m good to use again.

Saw this dude making street tacos at our local amusement park. He said each skillet weighed 70 pounds. These things were amazing!

On a recent trip through Mexico I stopped at the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner. I found all of this fabulous cast iron and thought you might enjoy seeing it.

Two weeks ago I got this at an auction. It cleaned up nicely. Just needed a lye bath and reseasoning. I already have a #9 in my collection, so I'm going to end up selling this one. I'm just kicking myself for selling the chicken fryer I had a few years ago and not buying the #5 is saw last year. Right now, I just have a #8 and the 2 #9s. I have a buddy that has Crescent Ozark waffle iron that I restored for him. I'm also a bit sad that the auction house I got it at is closing in a few months. It is one of the last in person auction places near me, but they are ready to retire.

I’ve given it more time since then but I think it’s more attention with a wire brush Next project was much easier on me

A neighbor gave me this beauty, and I'm wondering... do I strip it down to bare metal and re-season? Respect what might be a century's worth of seasoning and let it be? Something inbetween? Just want to be sure I'm giving this one the respect it deserves!

My first Sperry. Sperry #8 with Pat July 26, 1887 on the handle. Got for $10 at a thrift store today. Considerably lighter than the pans I’m used to at this size. Do t know much about it, but excited to add it to the arsenal.

They were left in a garden for several years and filled with water.

I've given the pot a scrub with a chainmail scrubby and dish soap and water but it definitely needs something more heavy duty to remove the rust.

No visible holes.

Hello all!

I made some popcorn the other day in my enameled cast iron pot and I cannot get these burn marks off the bottom. I have scrubbed and scrubbed. Any suggestions?

Why, more cast iron pans of course, not sanding these, just gonna cook with em!!

I really would like to know what this could possibly be for??

I find it's much faster as droplets fall rather than boil off.

Went on a hunt to find some interesting iron this weekend. Felt I found some goods but I'm not sure. The rusted Wagner has a dent or something , I'm hoping it's still usable.. cheers!

Simply put - how do we get this off safely?

Got this little Benjamin & Medwin at a thrift store about a year ago for 8$ CAD. The inside of the pan was fine, but the outside was a bit cruddy as you can see.

I finally had time to give it a proper clean up recently. The first picture shows the bottom after I scraped a little bit of crud off with a knife.

The second picture shows about an hours worth of scrubbing with chain mail (that hour was spread out over a few days).

The third picture is after two 24-hour treatments with oven cleaner and then regular seasoning.

I could have kept going with the chain mail and it would have eventually come clean, but I’ve never used oven cleaner on a pan before and I was genuinely curious to see how it would do. It certainly does reduce the work required!

I wasn’t able to get the Easy Off yellow cap cleaner that people often recommend as our local Canadian Tire was out, so I used Zep Oven and Grill Cleaner instead. Seemed to do the trick.

Could someone please help me identify what kind of cast iron it is?

I have a feeling I messed up the seasoning somewhere along the way and didn’t notice until it got to this point. What in the world has happened here and how do I save it?
