Cast iron part II.

What should I do with this? Griddle off of a camp stove. mtmuley

I would hit it up with some steel wool. Heat it up and scrap. Once rust is removed wash it thoroughly. Then start seasoning.

There are other methods for removing rust. Baking soda and vinegar can be used to help also.

You definitely can bring that around.

You can and I've seen others do that. Would be faster for sure.

Send it to me.

A wire wheel is fine. Rinse with hot water and soap when you’re done, then wipe with vinegar.

Pop it in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes then crank the heat to 450 and start seasoning.

Anyone use skyco ospho on cast iron pans? It worked wonders on some rusted barn metal.

I can. No problem. But I need it. mtmuley

 

[mtmuley]

I have this one too. But the other fits the stove better. mtmuley

I recovered one with a wire wheel. It had been sitting in the weather for quite a while before I got it. Cleaned up just fine.

 

[BucksnDucks]

Doesn't really look too bad. I've used flat tops in worse condition. I would heat and oil it. Then clean as usual, maybe with some salt. Repeat and reevaluate.
Or just be a good redneck and make a target out of it.
The second one is perfection; you are setting a high bar.

My wife wanted polished cast iron... then decided she didnt like them anyway lol. Grind away on em if you want. I went from 60 grit all the way up to polishing. They werent even rusty when I started.

About to do something similar with one of my lodges it’s so rough cast. I pretty much stick to actually cooking with old pans I inherited

Mine were just regular lodge pans. Nothing special, not inherited. Turned out really nice and people sell them for a lot once polished. Now they are just sitting again and its such a waste.

We ended up getting carbon steel pans with a nitride coating for the house and they are a lot like cast iron, just thinner, so I cant complain.

I have this same griddle, put it on my propane bbq on high and seared some steaks up and forgot about it, burned till the propane ran out and then sat on the bbq for a few weeks, in the winter. Looked about like that when I found it, scrubbed it up with steel wool and vinegar, then I used an electric sander on the spots that were left, I think I used 120 and 220 then re-seasoned it.
