How to (really) clean cast iron pan? - CLICK HERE for the Cooking Forum Index
Luke
Someone gave me an old cast iron pan frying pan. It's got some grease
that's practically fused on. I really don't want this to be the
'seasoning' for the pan. Any idea how to safely remove it?

Burn it. In the fireplace is good, or maybe in a self-cleaning oven.
Wipe out the ashes and smear it with Crisco or peanut oil (or your
favorite nondrying oil) before you wash it and it will reseason very
quickly.

Best regards,

Have a bon fire and toss it in about 1/2 way through the night of festivity.
Rake aawy the cold ashes and it will be clean.

Chuck it in a fire and get it real hot. The grease (and anything else) will
burn off leaving you with the equivalent of a new cast iron pan. Cool and
wire brush any ash and *immediately* start the 'seasoning' process.
Regards.

steel wool? you've got to burn it in a fire the coat it with peanut oil
it'll even take out the stuff you can't scrub out

If you want to get rid of their seasoning, and start your own, then turn
it into ash by putting the pan in some glowing charcoal for a while.
