Cleaning/restoring a cast iron pan skillet with electrolysis.

[@primebeef3938]

3 for $5! Score alright.

[@largemarge1603]

We owned a restaurant business for ten years. I burn a new skillet back to bare metal in the oven on 'clean' cycle. After it cools to a couple hundred degrees, I oil all surfaces with coconut oil. With the pan in the oven, I heat the oven to 350°, shut it off, and leave the pan in the oven overnight. . Rough cooking surfaces get a couple-three hours with the DA orbital sander. I use 40-grit, and a pan might need a couple-three fresh discs before I am satisfied.

[@groverw7507]

40 grit be serious rough, do you remove metal?

[@robertboulware8260]

Ty for seasoning the pan

[@bearisarius]

Props for not using destructive methods

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Thanks!

[@BEETSEEKA]

You should use a strain on that drain to reduce the pipe clogging pain

I've used wire wheels, 2mins nice and clean

[@richardpickell8062]

Thx 4 the educational video. 😀👍👍👌

[@craftzmanchris9859]

No problem.

[@Paddler007able]

I will stick to my chainmail thank you

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Would have been at this one for AGES if I used my chainmail. It was really bad!

[@MichaelJones-gw8sg]

Why did you switch the electrodes?

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

idk maybe it reverses the polarity and cleans it better? idk? 🤷 the man's got results though can't argue with that

[@imnotabotrlyimnot]

That probably wasn't the first time he checked the pans progress, may have just mixed them up after finding out the pan wasn't ready yet.

[@Valchrist1313]

@@yucatansuckaman5726 Looks like he took a wire brush to it between clips to me. Look how the part of the handle outside of the water suddenly looks just like the part inside.

[@craftzmanchris9859]

I switched from my battery charger to a battery and jumper cables because my charger doesn't actually put out any voltage unless it detects that it is connected to a battery.

[@MichaelJones-gw8sg]

@@craftzmanchris9859 Cool. Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering because it seemed like switching the electrodes would "undo" anything that had previously been accomplished by the process.

[@cipherthedemonlord8057]

I need some myself

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Keep your eyes peeled! You never know!

[@christinafisher6169]

Wow!

[@That70sChannel]

Unmarked Wagner!

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Yup!

[@castironchaos]

The 9 inch skillet was made by Wagner ware in the 1950s.

[@craftzmanchris9859]

You really think its that old? That's pretty neat! It seems like a higher quality one compared to some other old ones.

[@castironchaos]

Cast-iron geeks, of which I am one, know that Wagner made a lot of pans without their famous logo during that time, especially to sell at discount stores like Woolworths. During the 1950s, they used that typewriter style font on the markings on their pans. Meanwhile, in the early 1960s, they started putting a MADE IN USA mark on their pans. That means this pan was definitely made before the 1960s.

[@craftzmanchris9859]

@@castironchaos Very cool! Thanks for the info! (I now see your channel name and checked out your page!). Do you think I should be concerned about lead or any other hazardous metals?

[@JoyceB-qv9xq]

Seasoning a caste iron pan takes longer than that and should be done in the oven!

[@Crafty_Restorations]

Agreed

[@rahmatoullahbah5230]

nice, will you resell it?

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Nope, sorry.

[@tackleboxtonyy]

I like oven cleaner to strip them. Works well.

[@maryhsaunders8666]

you could burn the grease off by making a barrel fire and placing the pans in the fire the grease would have come off and then season it with your favorite oil.

[@ckane510]

Just use a wire wheel. Gezzz!

This was less messy.

I prefer the old ones!

Try cleaning your stove one and a while!😬🤢

[@donnelson6333]

Mr. Roeser??? 😮

[@josephineconti8080]

Is there a other way????? I don't have those things

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Depends on how bad it is. You may be able to get away a brillow pad with soap and water or you could use a drill/grinder and a wire wheel. A wire brush, hammer and chisel, chainmail scrubber and oven cleaner are all tools you could use. I prefer electrolysis because it does all the hard work for you! Honestly if you have a set of jumper cables you could set a bucket out in front of your car and use your car battery as the voltage source. Very easy and cheap to do that way.

Good point.

You can get same results with old fashioned Mexican way..boil water..repeat..oil up ..heat up and repeat..no need for that battery bs

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Lot of repeat going on there. With this method I set it up in 60 seconds with stuff I had laying around and walk away. It does the work for you.

[@kell4524]

It's better to use a BBQ grill to season your cast iron skillet...

[@hisnameisiam808]

More like an oven. Lol jk use what you got.

[@DankTankStudios]

Neat but I'll stick to not cooking thank you.

[@craftzmanchris9859]

Where's the fun in that!?

[@anonymous-uo6ub]

electrolysis sounds useless for this

[@ReLowa]

1 Corinthians 15:51-55 (KJV) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

[@ReLowa]

Im here to say that Jesus deeply loves the person reading this and everything will be okay if you trust him as savior. He's coming back soon to take his people home in the prophesied event of the rapture (1 Thess. 4:16-17). Its time to get right with God. Good deeds and clean living do not take you to heaven but faith in Jesus will. (Acts 16:31, Rom. 10:9-10, John 3:16) Good people don't go to heaven, forgiven people do. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved". Acts 16:31 ✝️❤🙏🎉

[@bobcat8439]

When I burn my pots and pans I use a wire brush with my drill it knocks that stuff down quick

[@craftzmanchris9859]

I thought about using a wire wheel and a grinder. It would have worked well but it would have made quite a mess. This electrolysis process was easy because it did all the hard work for me.

[@podsaveengland]

Seasoning the pan? what with Basil and Rosemary.... No, you're oiling the pan

[@mannyguajardo181]

Don't use the pad you used to clean it with.
