So you got yourself a Nice cast iron pan and you don't have a clue how to take care of it and now it's all rusted and ugly...Buy another? NO. Go buy some kosher salt and Veg oil of choice or whatever you have there at home (No Not motor oil). Heat up the pan, pour in the oil and add some salt like you're using commet or ajax to scrub your pots. Take a couple of paper towels and start scrubbing at the pan to get the rust out. Wipe down the pan, rinse and repeat until the pan is no longer dirty.
Seasoning anyone? Heat up your pan, pour oil in it, oh about 1/2" at the bottom of your pan, Heat up the oil and move it around to cover the upper parts of the pan. pour out the oil and you're good to go. Wipe out the excess with paper towel and hang it up til the next time you need to fry eggs.
Never use soap on your cast irons... Heat, Oil, Salt, scrub, wipe down and you're done. If the Heat doesn't kill the bacteria then you have some serious issues. If you need to, Rinse out your pan with hot water and scrub with metal scrubby without soap then heat, oil and wipe down.
That's my Blip for my BFFs again today.
