Cleaning cast iron

[RifleBowPistol]

No idea but would recommend you do some research before eating off of anything soaked in that stuff


OK
Got off early enought to finish cleaning the lid and start on the pot

Here is the lid after pulling out of the tank, washing with soapy water and rinsing

Here are some pictures of the tank I am using
Plastic trash can
Ancient battery charger
The white bubbles around the mower blade indicate things are working

wiped the lid dry and set oven to 350 and put lid in. When temp reached 350 I let it sit for about 20min to make sure lid was HOT
Then gve it a light coat of grape seed oil and put it back in oven to cool
Tomorrow night I will warm lid up to 425 and apply a 2nd coat of grape seed oil.
The inside of the pot may get a few more layers of seasoning to help reduce sticking when cooking

That works better than I would have guessed. I think I have heard of someone cleaning stuff that way, years ago. But the other time I heard of someone trying it, I am not sure they did it correctly. I don't think their results came out anywhere near as good as your results. The other time I saw a post about trying this method, I remember everybody's opinion, was it was not worth the trouble, for some very minor improvements. I am guessing that guy did not do something correctly.

RBP if you get polarity reversed it will defintely create a big mess

Also, adding the washing powder does something to the ability of the water to conduct the electrical charge. Maybe they used plain tap water?

I use PH- you get at the pool supply or pool section of the big box stores. Never heard of not using stainless steel as that is what I use. I buy the stainless steel baffles that go in a propane grill over the burners. They are cheap and have worked great for me. Best way to clean anything rusty that's for sure.

I am going by what I have read in several places on the internet.
