As a former chef, there’s nothing that disturbs me quite as much as watching people wash their cast iron skillets with soap and water. Well, okay there’s plenty of things that disturb me far more, but still, for the love of something, don’t do that.

Curby, a restoration, DIY, etc community has a great article on how to restore rusted or otherwise abused cast iron pots, skillets and more.

“Cast iron is incredible. It’s like nature’s non-stick surface. I have a 12” skillet, a round griddle for tortillas, and a large, rectangular griddle/grill pan, all of which I absolutely baby, adding flavor layer by layer, and avoiding soap, and many times water, at all cost.

So, I was stoked to find this cast iron Dutch oven at a thrift store for $4. All it needed was a little TLC and a round of seasoning, and I knew it would be my new best friend.

So, scour garage sales and your grandparents’ house for all the cast iron you can get your hands on. Don’t be afraid of the condition. This stuff is immortal, and anything can be salvaged and recycled. Then, follow these steps to get it into shape, and you’ll never reach for Teflon again.”
