I have a nice cast iron fry pan with rust in it, is there a way to remove this? And how do I season the fry pa

Answer 1

Use a Brillo pad and dry it good. Rub it down with lard or cooking oil and place it in the oven for 20 minutes at about 200 degrees. Turn off the oven and just leave the pan in there until your ready to use it.

Answer 2

Yes - take a scouring pad (steel wool) and scrub until you get the rust removed. I have had some skillets that had thick areas of rust build up - on these, I purchased a wire wheel polisher for my electric drill and polished the area until it came clean. After the rust has been removed, rinse the skillet or pan with warm soapy water and then in warm water. Wipe the skillet dry and apply a liberal amount of cooking oil to the pan surfaces wiping the excess off with a paper towel. Place the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and allow to cook. Remove pan, allow to room cool, and apply another coat of cooking oil, wipe with paper towel, and store. After you have cooked something, clean the pan as soon as possible (never allow to soak in water), apply cooking oil, and wipe the excess away. Your pan will stay rust free as long as you own it.

Answer 3

You scrub it with oil the rust will come off. I would also wash in dish soap and water. Then you oil it and put it in your oven at high temp, maybe an hour. People use different times and temps here. It can be done outside on open fire also. That will season it. You'll have to oil it every time you use it after you clean. (cooking oil)

Answer 4

Greetings rusty cast iron 'pa' lover. (Ha-ha!)
1st- use fine steel wool. (Purchased at a hardware store - paint section.)
2nd- rub pan with steel wool (dry.)
3rd- wash pan w/ dish detergent. Wipe dry.
4th- pour cooking oil (at least 1- 2 Tb) into pan and put pan on burner (med. heat) until oil begins to smoke slightly.
5th- turn off burner under pan and wipe oil out (with a rag - paper towels can stick (linty) and they have chemicals in them.)
6th- wipe entire pan inside and out - don't burn yourself!
7th- a properly seasoned cast iron pan should never need washing w/ dish detergent and water. I use oil and Kosher salt to clean my seasoned cast iron pans.
Good luck and happy seasoning...

Regular Fries

Answer 6

The best way would be to soak it in vinegar and then scrub it with a cloth/sponge nothing else.

Answer 7

Scrub it with abrasive pad. Then coat with olive oil
