How To Clean And Reseason A Cast Iron Pan (The Easy Way)

How to clean and reseason a cast iron pan the right way! This is a simple method of cleaning a rusty and abused pan the correct way and reseasoning it to be ready for use again!! I was given this Lodge cast iron fish pan that was rusty and abused. All of the seasoning and finish had been burnt off. It was in pretty bad shape, to say the least, but not something that couldn't be fixed. The first thing we did was to take a steel wire brush and brush all the rusty and chipped seasoning off of the pan the best we could. This is the very first step in how to strip and reseason a cast iron pan in this condition. Next, we took it to the sink and added some Dawn dishwashing liquid and water and washed all the loose rust and gunk from the pan. Can you wash cast iron with soap and water? Yes, you can according to Lodge's website https://www.lodgecastiron.com/discover/cleaning-and-care/cast-iron/how-clean-cast-iron. Then, we dried the pan with a rag and we placed the pan upside down in a preheated gas grill for just a couple minutes to dry out any remaining moisture. Once dry, we removed the pan and began to add some Crisco and bacon grease to all of the edges and surfaces of the pan. Once seasoned we placed the pan in the preheated 350-400 degrees gas grill for approximately one hour. After one hour we removed the pan and let it cool. Once cool we added yet another thin coat of seasoning to the pan and placed it back into the grill for another hour. After the hour was up we removed the pan once again to let it cool. Once cooled we applied a third coat of seasoning to the pan and returned it to the gas grill for the final coat of seasoning. After the hour was up we removed the Lodge cast iron fish pan from the heat and let it cool completely. The seasoning process is good enough now to cook in. This is how to clean and reseason a cast iron pan that was very rusty and slightly abused from extreme heat and fire. #seasoningcastiron #reseasoningcastiron #mrcastiron ***To Share This Video: How To Clean And Reseason A Cast Iron Pan https://youtu.be/FMM6usg7O7o ***Check Out Mr. Cast Iron's Channel For More Great Tips and Recipes!!*** http://bit.ly/MrCastIron ***Visit Our Website At https://www.MrCastIron.com Lodge Cast Iron Products: https://amzn.to/2IJPOsr ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***SUGGESTED YOUTUBE VIDEO AND CHANNEL TOOLS*** NEW Video Ranking Academy https://courses.seancannell.com/a/20309/vjWcWwtb NEW Video Ranking Academy Webclass https://courses.seancannell.com/a/37664/vjWcWwtb Sean Cannell Courses https://courses.seancannell.com/a/7802/vjWcWwtb MorningFame VidIQ (1ST MONTH FREE) invitation code https://morningfa.me/invite/MrCastIron TUBEBUDDY Book by Brian G Johnson: "TUBE RITUAL" https://amzn.to/2xmvHxP YouTube Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Following and Making Money as a Video Influencer https://amzn.to/2YDoox2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Cooking Utensils and Products We Recommend*** Char Broil Big Easy Smoker https://amzn.to/3jiAu6e ThermoPro TP20 Wireless Remote Digital Cooking Food Meat Thermometer https://amzn.to/3gAHKsd ThermoPro TP03 Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer https://amzn.to/2ECaEeJ Lodge Cast Iron Reversible Grill/Griddle https://amzn.to/2WcfIvU Cuisinart SmartStick Immersion Hand Blender https://amzn.to/36PuD1q Power Pressure Cooker Xl 6 Qt. https://amzn.to/2ta2tjK Lodge 12 Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet https://amzn.to/38rCgND Redmond's The Best Sea-Salt In The World http://bit.ly/BestRealSalts ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Other Recommended Resources*** Dr. Ken Berry's Book "Lies My Doctor Told Me" http://bit.ly/LiesMyDrToldMe ***“As an Amazon Associate this channel earns and benefits from qualifying purchases.” Other affiliate links may be included.*** #mrcastiron
