How to restore cast iron skillet with no power tools or chemicals

Another treasure that I found alnk.to/ge5SOeM out behind my granddad's old shop happened to be a 10" cast iron skillet. It was almost completely buried in the ground and completely covered in rust. Here in this video I demonstrate my no power tools and harsh chemical rust removal and cast iron seasoning. All you need is vinegar and time.
Put the cast iron skillet in a tub of vinegar and through the miracle of time you'll have a rust free cast iron skillet to season and use for the rest of your life. It's the best way to remove rust from a cast iron skillet!

People, be warned, once you restore and cook on cast iron, you will spend the rest of your days looking for old cast to restore.🤤

[@robertsbushcraft]

TRUTH.

[@TheMrssir]

Yup!

[@PastaMakerCordy-qy4uz]

TRUTH

[@brandonmartin526]

It’s true

[@MrTonyman4575]

I'm tired of these non-stick pans. They good for a few months and then start sticking. And they're not healthy for ya.

[@PeteR-rr5of]

I came here looking for a way to restore cast iron with out chemicals. I certainly learned how but 22 minutes later after seeing this young man apply some smarts and some elbow grease (and do a great job) with his dad my hope for America has been restored a bit too.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Pete, I appreciate that. As honestly as I can say it, I really do appreciate that.

[@brandiemichelle2858]

same here!

[@StratManDan52]

Throw that greased skilletin the oven BEFORE you add the Cornbread mix...gets crustyand won't stick as yours did

[@michealcorbin6095]

Personally I heat them up the red hot and hit him with water and that just kind of gets rid of every bit of rust on them and I've done this with several of them that needed attention badly

[@jamesnation7162]

Of course acetic acid (vinegar) is not a chemical!!

[@gromeca1]

Amazing, amazing job. The world needs more of this hard working young man and his dad.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey thank you for that encouragement, Cap Koval!

[@rstumbaugh43]

WOW!!! You did an AMAZING job on that skillet, THANK YOU for rescuing and restoring that pan from otherwise certain scrap iron!! I knew vinegar was used to remove rust, but I didn’t realize just how effective it was until I saw your video. I had a house fire, and salvaged my skillets, from the dirt, but haven’t done anything with them….until I saw your video, you have given me inspiration to clean them up and restore them. I hope you will always remember how you found your grandfather’s skillet and restored it with your dad, so you can pass the story along, with the skillet, to your kids some day…..

[@datsumcrzysht]

If more of this generation were like this kid, America would be in much better condition.

[@FIA-zi4fz]

It starts with parenting… upbringing shapes personality

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey I appreciate that, SavedbyGrace!

[@robertsbushcraft]

I agree 100%

[@marymurphy2605]

We just came across this video. You have taught two old dogs (70 and 79) a new trick. We will be trying it out on a cast iron dutch oven in the next several days. Thank you! May God Bless.

[@robertsbushcraft]

You are very welcome, Mary! Keep a good eye on the progress and I hope you have fantastic results!

[@susehendricks6217]

Thank you! I will try that. Glad I found your channel. Mostly loved the ending “May the wings of liberty never lose a feather”! Because of kids like you, we can have still hope. God bless!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Hey thank you for the encouragement, Suse! God bless!

[@CreamyBull260]

It's been 11 months since you posted your comment. How did it go? Did it worked?

[@kristilewis3411]

Awesome video! Baking soda and water mixed into a paste would reduce the wait time. Create a paste and cover the cast iron; the rust and seasoning begin to break down after a few hours...add a little water to the paste and rub most of it off and then add the cast iron into the apple cider vinegar if its not all removed. It should take half the time to wait...

[@robertsbushcraft]

Great tips, Kristi! Thank you!

[@mwj9080]

This is a GREAT tip. Thank you!

[@sherylanderson7536]

I almost cried thinking that you were cooking from your Grand Dads cast iron skillet !!! Great job 😁 I am sure Granddad would be proud 👌💓😁

[@robertsbushcraft]

I sure hope that he would be proud, Sheryl! Thank you for the kind words!

[@mytwocents777]

Good job, fellas. And it's good to see a son and his dad doing something together. Robert reminds me of my boy. 2 years now, he's been stuck overseas due to Covid measures. Won't bore you with that, but hope y'all are doing well.

[@robertsbushcraft]

We're doing well and hope that you, MyTwoCents!

[@marieblyden7512]

I am really smiling. I want to thank you so much for this video. My rusted skillet looks amazing! I bought it from a yard sale and it was really rusted. Every other video was telling people to buy all kinds of products, electric sanders, etc. I was so confused. After watching your video, it made so much sense and my skillet is back to cooking again. Thank you thank you thank you again.

[@robertsbushcraft]

That is FANTASTIC news, @marieblyden7512! You are welcome and I hope you get many years out of that cast iron skillet!

[@thomasbaker9787]

I love that you have something from past family members... meal time is good family time, imagine the meals and love this cast iron pan has been witnessed to.

[@johnbren1351]

A pleasure here on the south coast of England to watch such a calm, relaxed restoration. I treat my skillets and woks just like that but never had to start from where you did. Stay well.

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thank you and greetings to you, John! Cast iron holds value ( in my opinion), and this was well worth the effort!

[@johnqpublic9074]

People don't realize acetic acid will dissolve metal. Vinegar is an acid. You can even electroplate with it. You did a good job cleaning this up.

[@annawallace4629]

This is amazing!!! I just finished using oven cleaner to clean an old iron skillet and it’s bothering my breathing. I’m looking for another way and found your channel. I can’t believe how clean you got that skillet. Wow!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Just to know there still are young people who take pride in their work. You’ve brightened my outlook of America and our youth. God bless you all

[@robertsbushcraft]

Well, thank you for the encouragement, Anna! I hope this method helps keep your cast iron in tip-top shape!

[@janlloyd6138]

Oven cleaner is toxic for the environment and so is any spray can, its time for individuals to not contribute to the pollution, the govt. wont do it, not enough in time, as they are run by big business

[@frankroper3274]

Back when I made cornbread I got the skillet hot first and it will make the cornbread batter separate from the bottom.

[@robertsbushcraft]

A hot skillet is crucial for me to bake with success!

[@rtscott5899]

very good BSR pan made after 1960. good job on refinishing. Eggs were a true test.

[@robertsbushcraft]

I've never heard of BSR. I'm still using this several times a week and plan to until the Lord calls me home!

[@castironlady1720]

Glad to see you rescued the skillet and are using it.

[@robertsbushcraft]

I made sausage gravy and home made buttermilk biscuits last night. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Cast Iron Lady!

[@Moroni108]

I have to be straight honest here. Number one, this really is one of the best restore cast iron videos that I have seen on KZbin. Most importantly, I witnessed a good young man who demonstrated a solid character of wholesome dignity and intellect. Something you don't see much amongst the young men today. I fervently believe that this young man will be a standard in his life for others to follow and will become an outstanding husband and father in his future. I don't mean to be mushy on this, but you have to call it when you see, and these days, it has become more and more rare. Most likely he is the product of proper upbringing and faith. Thank you for the video Sir!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Captain Moroni, I wholeheartedly appreciate your encouragement.

[@shannonrinehart4635]

Great Job Guys!! You are a great team together with Curry in the background! Very informative and interesting! Thanks!

I’m so glad to know vinegar works so well. I have one that I haven’t managed to get fully clean. Thanks so much!

[@robertsbushcraft]

You are so welcome, Amber! Let us know how well this works for you should you get the chance.

[@henrymontoya2536]

WOW!! I'm excited to try your way on a skillet that was in my mom's back yard. Glad I came across your video.

[@robertsbushcraft]

All the best to you, Henry!

[@arianateveres2795]

Thank you !! Got 2 Lodge cast iron pots and a cornpone skillet that I didn't know how to care for that are rusted and now I have a way of removing the rust and save my pots. So thanks I can get my pots back!!

[@robertsbushcraft]

You are welcome and I hope you get many years of cooking in your cast iron!

[@laurens.roesler3326]

Beautiful! Love that you used vinegar and not lye. Perfect for those comfort food recipes as well🥘

The vinegar really does the trick! Thanks for watching and commenting, Lauren!

That is nice restored grandpa’s skillet. Good job

We're glad you found us too, Dawn! I certainly hope that is EXACTLY what he's doing!

[@poohkieness]

Thank you for this video. It made me excited to restore my skillet... and then I realized that the one you are restoring is the EXACT one that I'll be restoring. its only lightly rusted but the seasoning at the bottom is very unevenly caked on. I look forward to this project.

[@robertsbushcraft]

That is awesome! Best of luck to you! It is definitely something that can be done at home and is a worthwhile investment!

[@jeepnicc]

Nice! Great job guys. Looks like you got yourselves an old BSR (Birmingham Stove & Range) skillet! I have a few in my collection, and they're great! Thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful, AWJ!

[@IamSinai]

This is the best restoration video I have ever seen. Your technique is so easy to relate to the everyday individuals who don't want to buy a sandblaster or drill with a wire brush drill-bit! I subscribed immediately and liked this video. Father and son power!! Amazing!!

Hey thanks for that, Jermaine!

You are very welcome, Joycie!

[@smallfootprint2961]

You're very welcome and I hope the video helped!

thank you i going to be hunting for a older cast iron when garage sale season and this is one of the best I seen to clean the rust off. instead a steel brush I have seen some people use a course salt like sea salt and towel or potato.

You're welcome Mary and happy hunting!

[@robertsbushcraft]

You are very welcome, Ishak!

[@JaguwarSims]

If it's brand new you should never have to go to this extreme. Just DON'T remove the seasoning coating, and you'll be fine.

[@stephenmcmurry4969]

That skillet will last you a lifetime,I stripped one out of my great aunts barn 30 years ago with a lye bath .My favorite piece of iron

Hey thanks, COOKING FROM THE LOFT!

[@sapientmuffin]

Wow, great video. Thank you for making it! I was helping my Grandmother-in-law clean out her garage. We found a whole set of cast-irons that were passed down from he deceased mother. Offered to revive them for her so she can appreciate them in the kitchen. Of course, I offered not knowing a thing about restoring cast-irons! I think I'm going to go ahead with this method! Seems plenty doable in the wife and I's 1BR apartment. (We should be ok with the smoke from oven.) You guys rock, great energy, thank you again!

[@robertsbushcraft]

Let us know how well the smoke and smell from oven works out. Mrs. Roberts is not too fond of this method inside our home.

[@mildredmorine745]

Great idea with removing the rust, built up burnt on fat, a good way to restore them so that they do not stick is in your oven at 250, do the same thing, lightly grease the pan until it is seasoned in the pan so that the pan does not stick, if you have a wood stove you can keep it on the top of the stove until it is seasoned, it does not necessarily have to be overly hot, it just takes time, you cant rush it, it is worth it as you cannot beat cooking in a cast iron frying pan. I always put my in the oven after i have go threw baking when the oven is still hot.

[@WARPSPD]

Great job!👍

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thank you!

[@CATHOLICSARESPECIAL]

[@robertsbushcraft]

Thanks, Eric! I've been cooking on it several times a week since the restoration and I think you are right, 100 years and maybe more!

[@DavidJones-de9zh]

Question? Would it be worth throwing out the dirty vinegar and replacing ot with clean vinegar some time during the first week?

[@robertsbushcraft]

We never had to do that. It might be worth a shot just to see if it makes a difference. Our thinking is that if what we're using is working there's no need to waste any more vinegar.

Im going to try this. I found an old pot with a lid. It isnt as bad as your pan but that vinegar really helped

Vinegar, in my opinion, is the best way to remove rust without removing more cast iron. Good luck!

One way to keep cornbread from sticking is to heat the skillet in the oven then put your batter in you will hear it sizzle a little put in oven and shouldn't sick when done..

[@robertsbushcraft]
