Cleaning Cast Iron

If cast iron is rusty, use steel pads to remove rust and wash in hot Dawn detergent really well. Dry cast iron. I use cooking oil to season the cast iron; using paper towel, rub oil generously onto cast iron, inside and outside. Place a heavy duty piece of foil on the shelf of the oven and turn thermostat to 350 degrees F. Place cast iron top side down and season for 1 hour. This will allow the excess oil to drain off the cast iron. Allow to cool and wash with warm water. No soap.

My first item cooked in my iron skillets, is a pan of cornbread. I place 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and heat to slightly smoking and pour the mix into the skillet and bake at 400 degrees F. It slides right out. No sticking.

My easiest way to clean off rusted cast iron is to put it in the oven and do the "self clean" routine. It literally burns off the rust and crud, and gives you a clean starter to re-season.

BTW, you may want to activate your hood fan, open windows, or otherwise add air to the kitchen. Sometimes "self-clean" will set off your smoke detectors.
