A lot of people don’t understand that cast iron can last for their lives and their children and grandchildren etc. thank you for showing others how to clean their old cast iron

[@juliacampbell5881]

Oh I know. My big Dutch oven was my great grandmothers and I had to fight my sisters for it lol. That was one of the pots she used for water bath canning in the outdoor kitchen. There was no rack for the bottom of course so she put river rocks in the bottom and sat the jars on those.

[@katresaray3536]

Of all the cast iron cleaning videos I’ve watched yours is the best. You made it where I understand it now. Thank you!

[@patriciakochis3757]

❤ Thank you for showing how to maintain Cast Iron ,I have several that I Inherited from my grandma that date back to the 30 s ,I am Delighted Bev ❤

[@conniebarber4582]

Awesome job kiddo!! It does make you feel good to know that you did this yourself!! Your pans look great!!

[@lindabopp6579]

You did an amazing job on your cast iron. Now ready to use. God Bless 🙏❤️🙏

[@kdean2]

I have (and use) my mom's square cast iron skillet. She used to bake cornbread in it when I was a kid.

[@loriflarson4236]

Thanks for doing this video!

[@sherryleach2995]

Good job Bev. Appreciate the tips. Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@anniekochera]

Our Dearest Mrs. Volife You did an outstanding job on your cast iron. They turned out beautiful. My cast iron collection is all purchased used, and some were in worse and horrifying condition and that's almost exactly how i get them back to being beautiful and useful and with a glass like surface. I just don't use the wire whisk attachment on the drill. I love cast iron. God Bless

[@snookie65]

What do you use to remove rust?

[@anniekochera]

Hi there. I use stainless steel scouring pads and green scouring pads. Do not use the type with soap imbedded in them, just plain ones. The soap will not go well with cast iron. I also use kosher salt and a paper town to scour them as well. I scour them until i don't see any more rust. I do the oil last, when they're all done. I hope that helps. @@snookie65

[@anniekochera]

I see that my prior reply is not showing on the screen, so I'll reply again, hopefully it goes through this time! I use stainless steel scouring pads, green scouring pads, and Kosher salt with paper towel to scrub. I scrub and rinse with water, dry with towels that you don't mind throwing away someday, dry in oven, and repeat as necessary. Do not use the scouring pads that are embedded with soaps or detergent or cleaners, the cast iron doesn't like them. I use oil last and do a final baking it in to season. I hope that helps, God Bless@@snookie65

[@snookie65]

Thank you@@anniekochera

[@mindypatriotangel6064]

Beautiful job!

[@terryboivin9173]

They came out good Mrs. V! So much work huh?! Good to know that cookware in such bad shape can be saved… 👍

[@featheredfriendshomestead]

Thank you for sharing this I have a griddle that rusted. I'm definitely going to try this.

[@EricaB1978]

I inherited a cast dutch oven. It was used to boil water on a wood stove. Took months of care to remove all the pits and rust. My favorite piece now…

[@lorindaoconnor1680]

Those are some beautiful pieces of cast iron you’ve got there. ❤️

[@snookie65]

A friend gave me cast iron & there is rust, I'm all about using the wire wheel. So smart!

[@luminarygoddess8642]

Grape seed oil is a good option I have a half dozen to fix up

[@jessicahanlon7828]

Thanks for sharing this process...quite surprising the results.

[@jeannemilne3150]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@LipstickNsofrito]

Happy Tuesday...blessings and much love to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@riverramblings4843]

This is how I do mine too except no wire brushing wheel.

[@paulamcnatt6630]

I love my cast iron and take good care of it and use it all the time

[@tinaelliott8029]

Great job Bev!!!

[@ediemurray1692]

[@Jomama02]

I've got a HUGE cast iron wok in the garage that i need to do. I'll never use it because it's so very big but i can fix it up and sell it!

[@citygirlhomestead]

wow that looks great

[@deliabazan6853]

Smart!

[@jeanphillips1030]

I have cast iron but never negleted my pans. I have had them for years.

[@shellbell72]

I also thought you were supposed to get all the rust off and go down to bare metal to get through rust in those spots before oiling.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

The first oiling gets the last of the rust dust off

[@crybebebunny]

I enjoy cast-iron pots, pan, and others, but they are too heavy for me.

[@riverramblings4843]

Me too! I kept my dutch oven and 2 smaller covered skillets. Gave my 14" 10lb skillet to my daughter who loves it.

[@velocityakaslothmom8083]

I am so sad. I threw away like six of them because I did not know how to fix them, nor anybody that was in my circle knew how to fix them either. I will not throw them away again. I’ll try to fix them now.

[@dianeb5339]

👏​👍​🥇​

[@catemawson9994]

Great video :) A few litle questions - Why do you season the outside of the pots and pan? Is the oven 500o for everything? Do you keep the pot/pan iin the oven 40 to 50 mins each time? Thank you :) I have a few frying pans that need to be reseasoned :)

[@lifewiththevolfies]

40 to 50 minutes each time at 500. I seized in the outside of the pan to protect it from Voice you're when cleaning.

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

I’m sorry but I’m missing the gist of your response. Could you please clarify?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Forty to fifty minutes each time in the oven. I seasoned the outside as well. ​@@LauraMacMillan-el2kc

[@bbrhody831]

I'm totally confused. I have always been told not to oil over any rust as it will cause uneven seasoning.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

No I was cleaning the rust powder off with the oil. If you noticed by the time they went in the oven, no rust was showing on the paper towel that I wiped the oil off with.

[@bbrhody831]

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead but wasn't there still rust on the pan?

[@juliacampbell5881]

Beautiful job hun. You baked yours at 500 yes? I was always told 250 for 2 hours. Have you ever done that? I have 2 pots and 3 pans with lids and it seems no matter what I do the small 8 inch pan, everything sticks. All the rest of them are great.

[@theresapomerleau7112]

I have some pans like that but for some reason my food sticks. What should i do?

[@usbpphillips]

I just put them in the woodstove or camp fire and burn the rust off. You do have to wait until the fire is out and they cool down because they can be hot enough to set your hot mits on fire. BTDT, won't do it again!😂
