How to restore a rusty disc and other carbon steel cookware

[@lisaheeter3810]

For anyone finding this currently, skip the baking soda and use kosher salt instead. Acts as excellent abrasion with the vinegar. Then I just rinsed throughly and washed with soap and rinsed final time. Don't add baking soda and neutralize your vinegar's power! Mine was extremely rusted and I was ready to season in 30 minutes. Very helpful 😊

[@Anno_Nymous]

Had this happen to my wok as well, it was put in the dishwasher and the set in the cupboard for a while ( wasn't me though), but its quite easy to remove the rust, reseasoned it and the pan is just fine. It almost feels it's more non-stick now and the seasoning build up is better.

[@yojislokis1336]

Thank you so much! I was able to save my wok , it was already rusted and useless and now it is working wonderfully.

[@ruelvicmudo7657]

Use sand paper for faster removal of stains and dirt

[@berniem.6965]

Vinegar alone (mixed with water) would have removed the rust better. When the rust is gone, you then use soda to neutralize the acid and remove old seasoning.

[@elsaestrada-morales8604]

Baking soda, n the vinegar work best together..😊

[@rc4a0frios]

@@elsaestrada-morales8604 No. When you mix vinegar and baking soda, they combine forming sodium acetate and carbon dioxide (the bubbles), neutralizing the acid power of the vinegar.

[@javieraleman3611]

@@rc4a0frios yes i was thinking the same, but do you know when should i use baking soda to neutralice de acid? I have a carbon steel skillet and a cast iron pan both rusted and i need some help my friend

[@HaotheEnd]

@@javieraleman3611 I’m an amateur, but scrubbed with vinegar after 30 min soak. Then baking soda to neutralize, scrub again, rinse, soap, light scrub, rinse well, low heat to dry. Let cool, then season. Does the trick in one go.

[@javieraleman3611]

@@HaotheEnd Thanks a lot brother, it is really helpful! I will try that, makes a lot of sense.

[@prathibabhaskar8466]

Vinegar, bicarbonate, elbow grease and PATIENCE!! Then season accordingly. 🖤 thank you.

[@wishflow3396]

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!

[@patwma709]

Vinegar is an acid I think and baking soda is a base so the soda cancels the vinegar. You might try salt for better results.

[@gatorguysix7631]

Salt by itself or salt in the place of the baking soda?

[@patwma709]

Salt by itself. It's often used to clean glass coffee pots and the like. Larger crystals like Diamond Crystal salt work great. @@gatorguysix7631 If it were me, I'd just use Barkeeper's Friend. With vinegar, I'd just soak it for a while or get some stronger vinegar from Amazon and soak it far less. Grocery store vinegar is only 5% vinegar.

[@Althea11111]

This is very helpful. I wish I can pay someone to do this for me though!

[@MimiLuv930]

Thank you so very much your way is the only way that worked for my wok :)

[@media1981]

Use the power tool. Use brush attachment to a drill and scrub. The whole restoration process takes less than 10 minutes including seasoning the pan. Done it before and works every time.

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

I came here to ask this exact question! Now I have another question, what if you just had a $30 gravity-fed sand blaster or glass blaster? Couldn't you be done in 1 minute with the rust part? Or would it pit the surface too much with sand?

[@grepora]

@@KevinVenturePhilippines I don't recommend sand blasting or wire brush. It creates too many scratches or tiny pocks in the steel. The easiest (and laziest) method is to quickly first scrub off rust flakes with a copper scouring pad. Then, for about 30 minutes, soak in a vinegar bath or cover it with vinegar soaked paper towels. The rust should wipe away. If the rust is more severe, repeat soaking. If it has light rust, you may be able to skip scrubbing and just soak it.

[@jollytan4615]

Do i have to do that every time after I used the paella pan, I meant the putting on fire?

[@easerone1651]

I just bought one fresh welded. I guess I still have to apply this method .

[@billyblastoff7027]

Thanks I learned something new how to clean and season my disk.

[@rbelang8331]

Yeah, everyone knows that rusty diks aren't good...

[@louisfigo423]

So please apart from baking soda and vinegar What else can i use

[@naziavora]

do we need to do everytime we cook or just first time

[@nathanwebb4959]

Can you put it in a dishwasher after use or would it ruin the seasoning? Any tips for care / cleaning after use?

[@abc6568]

Don't put in dishwasher - you can find more instructions online for maintenance

[@texastalk86]

GOD BLESS THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL

[@RichardBrown-xe8zm]

Doesn’t vinegar turn to water when baking soda is added?

[@Edwardsjourney]

Yeah I didn't get the part of the baking soda either. That foaming you see is baking soda neutralizing the vinegar.

[@joelwatkins4377]

Awesome to see and know...thank you!

[@RugbyFootballer]

I need to try this technique

[@buckaroo8805]

Nice video

[@stevemiller8239]

Thank God for vinegar and baking soda. Good stuff. Thanks

[@icyog128]

You were going to get divorced over having a rusty disc?

[@kj-marslander]

@@icyog128 they were married to the disc. it was headed for the trash but it got saved. lol

[@Calhoun5248]

Do you cure it with or with out oil in it?

Muchísimas Gracias!!

[@abasi1968]

This is a great video thank you for the advice but why don't people call it what it is it's a wok I don't remember the last time I walked in the store and said hey I'm looking for a frying disc it's a wok

[@just_call_me_desi]

the brand is called Fire DISC

[@harukatakahashi8822]

Uhh both sides?

[@dapete]

Nice save!

[@briepeterson9718]

you coul use a brushed squewed on a drill. goes faster with less elbow grease.

[@x710y3]

You can use orthophosphoric acid to remove rust

[@vanessaallen3810]

Excellent! 🍜🥘

[@bebrbebrr8439]

Better and faster way to remove rust is steel wool and sand/ash.

[@stevecaldwell8576]

i didnt do this well this first time

[@HrWisch]

If you didn't neutralize the acid (vinegar) with baking soda every single time, you could have removed the rust in a fraction of the time.

[@normasouza1086]

Barkeepers friend, no?

[@VinnieNiZero]

i don't get it, just use a laser?

[@TheClutchVOD]

He's really going to be kicking himself when he remembers that he spent $12,000 on a laser cleaning machine that he could have used.

[@WillemLuntungan]

Thank you

[@xinixxagnix201]

Just use a Norton Blaze Rapid Strip and in 1 min all rust is gone.
