NEVER use steel brush or power tool wire wheel on cast iron. That would ruin it. There are people who restore valuable pieces By electrolysis but you can do it with some work just as well. Rust is the result of oxidation of the iron. Vinegar and water soak AND possibly some salt with oil some people use water with a scrubber of your choice with a lot of elbow grease should remove the rust. But once the rust is removed the pan must immediately be seasoned within minutes or the pan will rust again.
Putting your pan in an oven on the self cleaning cycle should remove defective seasoning. I use the heavy duty oven cleaner sprayed on and the pan soaked over night in a plastic bag, over night. That will get rid of the defective seasoning. After cleaning the pan it must be quickly re-seasoned or immediately coated with oil to prevent rusting. Too much heat can damage the Dutch oven or skillet. You can also use coarse salt and a bit of cooking oil and scrub with a stainless scrub pad.
I used it it turned the cast iron grey but it spread all over next time will probably put something under it! Is vegetable oil good to use? My mom always used bacon grease. Hi Julia, you can use vegetable oil to re-season the skillet. We do not recommend bacon grease as it can go rancid. I have read all of these comments and feel compelled to offer my two cents into the mix. First of all, do you use your iron on a daily basis or more than twice a week?
Or do you bring it out whenever the urge strikes, cook something in it, and store it for another 4 to 6 months before pulling it out again? The difference will make a difference in what kind of oil you use to season your pan. The problem comes from using the pan to cook a meal on January 1st and then not dragging out the iron again until the 4th of July! Leaving a cast iron pan or Dutch oven or any other cast iron kitchen utensil, for that matter, in the closet for that long with most any animal based fat for seasoning will probably encourage the coating to turn rancid the same way that a jelly jar of bacon fat sitting on the counter for months will probably get pretty ripe from not using it or storing it improperly for that long of a time.
Lodge, I noticed, still has a raised ring on most of their cast iron made today. I am sure that there will be those who will argue my tactics so I will close by saying that my family, going back to my grandparents [to my knowledge], have passed down these tips to keep cast iron serviceable.
