      Title: Restore Your Rusty Cast Iron
 Categories: Info
      Yield: 1 technique

      1    Cast iron skillet
      1    Brillo pad
      4 tb Oil
           Nonabrasive scour pad
           (ScotchBrite is good - UDD)
           +=WITH=+
      2 tb Salt
           +=OR=+
           Soft bristle cleaning brush

  TO RESTORE: Scrub under hot water using a brillo pad on
  all sides to remove all rust spots.

  Dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel or on a stovetop
  burner on high heat.

  TO SEASON: Generously rub 3 tablespoons of oil into
  both sides of the pan using a paper towel.

  Next, use a separate paper towel to remove any excess
  left on oil.

  Place upside down in the middle of your oven rack at
  500°F/260°C for 1 hour. Store or use.

  TO MAINTAIN: Scrub with hot water using a nonabrasive
  scour pad with 2 tablespoons of salt or a soft bristle
  cleaning brush to remove all unwanted stuck-on food
  particles.

  Dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel or on a stovetop
  burner on high heat.

  Add 1 tablespoon of oil and rub it into the pan on
  both sides.

  Place in the oven on the middle rack at 500° or over a
  burner on high heat until it reaches the oil smoking
  point. You do this so the oil does not spoil.

  Cool and store.

  CHEF NOTES: There is no cast-iron pan that is too far
  out of reach to be cleaned using this process.

  Anything can be cooked in a seasoned-up cast iron
  skillet, even something as simple as sautéed vegetables.

  The same process also applies to carbon steel pans

  UDD NOTE: To clean/restore cast iron that has years of
  built-up grease caking the outside simply put the pan
  (or pans) into a black plastic trash bag and pout in a
  quart of household ammonia. Seal the bag and put it in
  the sun on yoor patio or back porch for a couple of
  days. Get out the garden hose when you are ready to
  finish the job and blast the brownish sludge into the
  grass. It won't harm your lawn, I promise. Then
  discard the trash bag and take the cookware into the
  kitchen and start at step two above.
