I've got one that I need someone to do this to so I can start over. It's older than I am and was poorly taken care of for several years before I got it.

The cast iron I bought for myself is all in good condition. That one means a lot because of where it comes from but I don't have the patience to scrape all that shit off. I wish someone would do it for me so I could enjoy the pan my grandaddy cooked me bacon in.

Drill with an abrasive scubbing pad on it will sort it out real quick.

Just put it in the oven on cleaning mode if you have a self cleaning oven

My oven uses some weird "eco-friendly" self-cleaning process that involves pouring water into it and steaming the dirt off, which doesn't sound like it would be good for the pan. Got any alternatives? I found a Griswold at the thrift store a few years back and I'd like to be able to restore it without damaging it.

The best thing to season a cast iron pan with is blood.

Scrolled past this before reality set in after a few seconds
