one thing keep in mid is when you cook sugar makes everything stick and it is very hard to get it off unless you burn your pan to get rid of it

Answer 2

Cast Iron pans:
To clean, wipe them out with a damp cloth rather than completely wash them, dry completely to prevent rust.

Burnt pots & pans:
Make a paste of water & baking soda, rub into burnt area, then let it sit for an hour or so, it will come clean quite easily.

Answer 3

The only way to fix that is to re-cure the pot or pan. Clean the rust out with steel wool or whatever, coat the pan with cooking oil (use plenty) and bake in the oven at 375 for fifteen minutes to half an hour.

Answer 4

Try it. Dry it might absorb oil......if the oil is still soft. Wet, I doubt it. Maybe dry corn meal might work as it is grittier. Salt would be better still. Also baking soda, dry, works well. All still have to be wiped out....WELL.

How are you cleaning cast iron? Usually wiping down with paper towel works......I also add a hot water dunk first to eliminate a lot of the soil......and a swirl with a nylon scrubbie for food particles, then dry well. If I suspect I've been a bit too generous with the cleaning and drying, I give it a tiny squirt of Pam, wipe with paper towel before storage.

Answer 5

scrub the pan with sos pad to get rid of rust. dry it then wipe a layer of cooking oil in it. bake it in the oven @ 300 degrees for an hour. this is called "seasoning".
When you use your frying pan on a daily basis, just use as hot as you can stand water & a plastic scrubbie to clean it---don't use dish soap. dry it on the stove on a lowish heat then give it a coat of oil. let it stay on the lowish heat for a 10 minutes or so to let the oil cook into the pan

Answer 6

I would use a steel hand brush for this, you can buy them in the hardware store
