Fix a rusty old cast iron pan?
I have an Old cast iron pan/griddle set i bought at an antique store.
It looked nice when I bought it, but then I put it in the dishwasher.... maybe that was a bad idea?
Now it is crusty and rusty and I don't know if I should try to fix it or just put it away?
If I can still use it - what do I need to do to clean it?
I've heard of treating or seasoning a pan - how do I do that?
(and can you do that even if it's rusty?)
Yes, you should use it --- AFTER it's cleaned and seasoned.
Effort free method -- next time you either use your fireplace or (what I do) when you go camping - put the pan directly in the fire. Everything burns off. I had 30 years worth of growth (the bumpy stuff that builds up on the outside over the years) burn off in about 1/2 hour around the campfire. It also ended up being rust free! Cool to watch, too.
To season, rub in some shortening or vegetable oil and heat the pan using high heat (oven/fire).
To clean, use steel wool w/o soap, a wire brush or those copper scrubbers. NEVER USE SOAP - it messes with the non-stick properties your pan will get with proper seasoning and use.
