@@esejsnake1503 you can check anywhere they sell pots and pans. You also can check at garage sales, thrifts store, cause at one time i found a small skillet at a trifht shop.

I have a small cast iron pan I've had in my life since I was abouth two years old. I'm 29 now, and the seasoning on it from three decades of oil and stuff is indestructible. I've made chili in it, heavy on tomatoes and acidic stuff, and it's even seen the dishwasher. Still it's just and black and well broken in as ever with zero rust. The thing just does not care. My friends ask me why I take a five pound pan hiking and camping but at this point it's like an old friend. Even fell out of my pack once hundreds of feet down a mountainside, it still didn't care.
"Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls, but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: CHEMICAL X."
I was wondering when he was going to wash off the oven cleaner with hot soapy water. I always do that before properly seasoning my cast iron, To each their own though.
@@brianwest8119 Yes you can! My Grandmother had FANTASTIC Cast Iron Skillets. I have FANTASTIC Cast Iron Skillets! I would NEVER use Oven Cleaner on something I'm cooking with and NOT use Hot Soapy Water and a Good HOT WATER RINSE afterwards, then either put it in the warm oven or on a top warm burner to dry, then you season it with oil and place it in the hot oven,afterwards, they turn out FANTASTIC!!!!
the products? He uses only one chemical. Unless water where you boil the pasta is a chemical, I don't think salt and water are chemicals. Also I don't think the pork fat is a chemical too. Watch the color of the pan when he finished with the chemical and before putting it in the oven. Totally different, that means that it was rinsed with water and that is also the reason why he has put it in the oven too. MiMi Joys1963 says it correctly.
As a cook, i strongly love this video! The fact that someone would throw such a good piece of equipment out is beyond me! Cast irons are lovely but a big responsibility ❤️❤️
Lucky you haven't met my wife. She wanted to replace a thick cast iron wok with a Teflon coated thin-walled aluminum one because it "looked dirty" And Odd Tinkering I'll be checking the metal recycle bin next time I go to the rubbish tip. 😊
40 years cooking with cast iron...each time you use them, wash in hot soapy water (yes!), rinse, immediately put on the stove over heat. When the pan is hot, grease entirely...handle and all, continue heating for 2-3 minutes. Job done...they never go rusty if you do this 5 minute job. I cook all manner of food including acidic. They are so durable and efficient. Hope that persuades you to use them. x
Its really nice to see that you seasoned the pan after cleaning. Not many people know to season a full cast iron pan thats not enamel or otherwise coated. Beautiful job!
That is a good remark. I just had to make a comment because truly why wouldn't you make your own cream? The one you're using or any fabricated one oh, they are also bad for us with all the chemicals Etc. But a great video on the pan you've done a great job
An interesting note, hydrogen burns with a pale blue flame, almost invisible in the daylight, while chlorine burns with a yellow flame. It looks like the flame has a heavy chlorine influence. [3:30] The initial flame starts with blue color and then switches to yellow.
Thanks for this. I'd always wondered what they were actually called. My mormor and mom made these for us growing up. Became a family tradition that even my wife has continued on with. But we always knew them as plutton, made in a plett pan. I'm guessing that was just the way the word evolved into our families English.
a friend of mine found one as well when he brought out the trash.. he restored it and it's the best pen he's ever owned.. i wouldn't get rid of mine either
You've never seen houses cleared & everything dumped before? I sure have. House flippers do it all the time - throw treasures in the trash. Plus that junk yards are FULL of things like this.
@@LoafnotFoundYT Why do you think that? When he finds the pan it's not english language on the container. Plus the pan itself is common in the Scandinavia.
The electrolytic reaction is quite complex. There are several reactions taking place at the voltage you dials in there (7.3 volts, which is quite overkill and may lead to many adverse side reactions; but who cares - it's an old pan :). The main reaction you are wanting to take place is the full reaction below (which is only an estimated guess, since many different iron oxide reactions can occur): 1) 4 Fe(0) + 6 O2 --> 2 Fe2O3 More specifically, in the electrolysis of iron and iron oxide: 2) 4 Fe(0) + 3 O2 + 2 H2O --> 4 Fe(III)O(OH) (bubbly red film in your water)... which decomposes slowly to Fe2O3 (red iron oxide, rust) when dehydrated. Now, it important to note which electrode the anode and cathode in a galvanic/electrochemical cell (batteries), which discharges spontaneously, verses an electrolytic cell, where the cell is "charging" using an external potential. Hence, in either case, the cathode is defined as the electrode electrons are flowing in and the anode is where the electrons are flowing out. Therefore, reduction always happens at the cathode. In a galvanic cell, the red "positive" electrode is the cathode (electrons flow in) and the black "negative" electrode is the anode (electrons flow out). In an electrolytic cell, the red electrode becomes "negative" (-) at is considered the anode (electrons flow out), and the black "positive" (+) is considered the cathode (electrons flow in). You'll notice the flow of electrons is opposite for each these two types of cells. This becomes easier to understand when thinking about how a battery operates. Batteries store charge and when they are used they "discharge" spontaneously (definition of a galvanic/electrochemical cell). However, when driving an unfavorable chemical reaction (turning rust back to iron), the cell is essentially being "charged" back up, which requires a reverse in electron flow using an external power source. This change of current flow reverses which electrode becomes the cathode and which becomes the anode by definition. This is the reason why you see the rusted pan plugged into the "negative" terminal, because it needs to be the cathode in order to reduce iron oxide back to iron (make electrons flow INto iron). (The red (+) electrode is considered the anode in this electrolytic cell set up). **Thank you @OddTinkering, for correcting my mix up. This is a good reminder for me :) The two half reactions at each electrode are: Anode side (positive, red terminal): 4 Fe(0) (normal iron) -> 4 Fe(III) +12 e (electrons are produced to head to the cathode) Cathode side (negative, black terminal): 2 Fe2O3 + 12e- (electrons pushed from anode oxidation) --> 4 Fe(0) (pure iron) + 3 O2 (another explosive gas you were seeing) Now, there is another main reaction happening at that high voltage you set, the electrolysis of water. This extra voltage (potential) is being fed into the water molecules as well and breaking them apart, as shown below: 3) 2 H2O --> 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) The two half reactions are (general equation): Anode: H2O -> O2 + 2 H+ (acidic protons) + 4 e-. (these electrons head to the cathode, black terminal side) Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> H2 (g) + 2 OH Overall reaction: 2 H2O --> 2 H+ + 2(OH)-. This is a general equation for neutral pH. However, it is known that autoionization occurs spontaneously, and can be induced by the electric field around the anode or cathode causing separate reactions to take place. Additionally, it is know that there are several different electrolysis reactions that can take place, depending if the water solution is basic (has excess hydroxide ions) or acidic (excess hydronium ions). The one given above is a combination approximation of the two. Acidic half reactions: Anode: 2 H2O -> O2 (g) + 4 H+ + 4 e-. Cathode: 4 H+ + 4e- --> 2 H2 (g) Basic half reactions: Anode: 4 OH- -> O2 (g) + 2 H2O + 4 e-. Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> 2 OH + 2 H2 (g) If you add both of these acid and basic half reactions you get the general equation given above. However, regardless of the chemical route taken, the result is hydrogen is produced at the cathode while oxygen is produced at the anode. Hence, producing the exciting explosive fireballs, which everyone should have fun with in small amounts! (Small amounts for safety). The purpose of adding sodium chloride (table salt) is to increase conductivity to allow the flow of electrons and ions through the solution. It does not participate in the chemical reaction, only flow of current (unless the electrolyte you are using is susceptible to electrolysis at the voltage specified; however, inorganic electrolytes are generally very robust depending on anode and cathode reactions). Only very minimal amounts of NaCl (table salt) are electrolyzed into sodium metal (which reacts with water into sodium hydroxide, which would make your water basic (you should do a pH paper test before and after, it would be interesting. However, the result may not be conclusive since both FeO(OH) and NaOH will lead to basic water. FeO(OH) is slightly soluble in basic conditions). I may have gotten carried away, but I hope you enjoyed learning a little about some electrochemistry! :)
This was funtabulous! Once I found an old wok - wasn't as bad with rust oxidation - but I tried to tell people the pan could be re-seasoned. I haven't gotten it fully restored, but watching this helped. Thanx.
Suzy Q They do but for the most part you want to fill them in! The shiner and more glasslike the skillet is the less likely it is to stick. If you compare the difference between a antique Grizwald or Wagner cast iron skillet that’s been regularly used and properly maintained! Vs. say a new Lodge brand skillet you’ll find that the lodge skillet is quite rough looking and feeling. This is due to the fact that the lodge skillet isn’t as finely ground/polished as the antique skillets. If you ever buy a cast iron skillet( highly recommend) I would look for a antique skillet that’s been well cared for than a new one! I have used both and highly prefer the antique skillet over the new ones! My lodge skillets are after 10 years of regular use only about half way to being smooth as glass. It’s taken many years of seasoning and use to build the carbon layers to where they will fill the pores and things won’t stick.
I got a cast iron pan from someone's garbage once too. A little scrub scrub, some seasoning and boom! We've been using it for years, great pan. I look for cast iron regularly at 2nd hand shops and yard sales!
jubjub247 honestly you just need to stop, i don’t need to admit anything. this is not a cooking show lol. he was just repairing a pan and made some crepes. you’re doing too much
i have one like this,i live in Norway and this pan is part of a Scandinavian culture..this iron pan is very heavy.. and when i say " heavy" i mean really HEAVY... you don`t need a gun or a baseball bat to protect your house, one iron pan like this and one hit in the right place and the thief is dead like stone... the old house wives used to kill their unfaithfull husbands with an iron pan like this.. so ladies... if you have something in mind don`t use an Ikea pan.. buy one like this.. it works ! :-) )))
@@joseanoguera5898 nah, that pan is used to make "lettu"s or "lätty"s. finnish "crepes" or pancakes or whatever. well, I guess you could also make blinis with that
Mallory Garcia... that is not a crepe pan... that is a pan for making Swedish pancakes (Plattar) that are not either regular pancakes, nor are they crepes...crepes are French and the recipe is completely different... I have my Grandmother's pan like this and I am 74 years old...
The electrolysis was pointless. Vinegar would work better, but you can just use an electric drill with a wire brush attachment and do the whole rust removal job in about five minutes. At some point you have to make sure EVERY bit of rust, old seasoning or baked on grot gets removed and this is easiest done with a power tool. The actual seasoning shown wasn't great but four coats will do the job.
Best restoration channel! You're amazing. I actually wait for you to put new videos out 😂 haven't posted a comment until today but I had to. I could watch you for days. Your humor is the best. Keep it up 💕
You must not watch many restoration channels then, this isn't even in the bottom 5 here compared to channels like Handtool Rescue, Rescue and Restore or Restore It.
Pork fat really is the best for it. Once it’s seasoned, hot water and paper towels are are you need to clean it. A tiny bit of soap, if it’s really dirty. No abrasives!
I've done 4 so far, with 8 more on deck... but I do it totally differently. In the oven on self clean for a few hour, then clean and do the oil coat (so thin that it looks like it's all gone) at least 5 times, baking for an hour in a 450°F oven each time, and letting it come to safe handling temp in between each round.
Nice job! This is a traditional Swedish mini pancake pan, called "Plättjärn". I would tweak that pancake recipe though, replacing the water with milk, eggs and some melted butter.
In my rural end of the world, we had dumps, not dumpsters. (I'm old.) That was Dad's Sunday afternoon drive, cruising around to the dumps sites looking for stuff. I once found a white gold men's wedding band.
Sandblasting can weaken it though. You're taking a layer of metal off when you do that. Thinning the cast iron. www.seriouseats.com/2014/12/how-to-restore-vintage-cast-iron-cookware.html "Sandblasting is another method Nick says to steer clear of: it not only cleans everything off, it also permanently alters the original surface of the cast iron.'
@@myshmallow Sandblasting is a general term, you can use walnut shells which will strip away the rust but won't cut into the metal, it's commonly used on cars and plastic parts for removing paint.
Nice work. Don’t use lard for seasoning, it’s low on polyunsaturated fats, which you need a lot of to create a strong polymer seasoning that will last you. Grapeseed and sunflower oils are great.
Thanks, thumbs up just for the pic hanging upside down in the dumpster! That was mt fear at times, falling in....but they pretty much outlaw it here now, and I am old(er). Great save! That was an amazing work!
My mother told me that my maternal grandmother found a discarded iron pan. She cleaned it by putting it in a fire until everything was burnt off. This seems a lot easier and safer. My sister has it now, because she asked for it first. If you snooze, you lose. ;-D
I love cast iron, I've restored a couple of these that I've found. Mine weren't rusty enough to warrant electricity, just scrubbed with a sugar cube and steel wool, then did the "grease burning" treatment. Used same Muurikka tube of unsalted pork fat. One pan was so grimy, it was a surprise to find it was actually enameled!
You know that I have issues with fried eggs. The pan I use is cured. Yet somehow I keep getting the egg white sticking. The previous day the eggs slide like marbles on ice and the next day I have to use the spatula. Wierd. It's a standard joke in my house. Possibly I need that special needs egg pan
1 cup milk 1 egg 1/2 cup sifted flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp vanilla Add wet into dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Should be thin. Use REAL butter on hot plet pan, fill each circle almost to top. Work fast using a smooth not sharp knife, they can stick. Enjoy with powder sugar, syrup and fruit.

Cathode side (negative, black terminal): 2 Fe2O3 + 12e- (electrons pushed from anode oxidation) --> 4 Fe(0) (pure iron) + 3 O2 (another explosive gas you were seeing)
Now, there is another main reaction happening at that high voltage you set, the electrolysis of water. This extra voltage (potential) is being fed into the water molecules as well and breaking them apart, as shown below:
3) 2 H2O --> 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g)
The two half reactions are (general equation):
Anode: H2O -> O2 + 2 H+ (acidic protons) + 4 e-. (these electrons head to the cathode, black terminal side)
Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> H2 (g) + 2 OH
Overall reaction: 2 H2O --> 2 H+ + 2(OH)-.
This is a general equation for neutral pH. However, it is known that autoionization occurs spontaneously, and can be induced by the electric field around the anode or cathode causing separate reactions to take place. Additionally, it is know that there are several different electrolysis reactions that can take place, depending if the water solution is basic (has excess hydroxide ions) or acidic (excess hydronium ions). The one given above is a combination approximation of the two.
Acidic half reactions:
Anode: 2 H2O -> O2 (g) + 4 H+ + 4 e-.
Cathode: 4 H+ + 4e- --> 2 H2 (g)
Basic half reactions:
Anode: 4 OH- -> O2 (g) + 2 H2O + 4 e-.
Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> 2 OH + 2 H2 (g)
If you add both of these acid and basic half reactions you get the general equation given above. However, regardless of the chemical route taken, the result is hydrogen is produced at the cathode while oxygen is produced at the anode. Hence, producing the exciting explosive fireballs, which everyone should have fun with in small amounts! (Small amounts for safety).
The purpose of adding sodium chloride (table salt) is to increase conductivity to allow the flow of electrons and ions through the solution. It does not participate in the chemical reaction, only flow of current (unless the electrolyte you are using is susceptible to electrolysis at the voltage specified; however, inorganic electrolytes are generally very robust depending on anode and cathode reactions). Only very minimal amounts of NaCl (table salt) are electrolyzed into sodium metal (which reacts with water into sodium hydroxide, which would make your water basic (you should do a pH paper test before and after, it would be interesting. However, the result may not be conclusive since both FeO(OH) and NaOH will lead to basic water. FeO(OH) is slightly soluble in basic conditions).
I may have gotten carried away, but I hope you enjoyed learning a little about some electrochemistry! :)
You could've just said "Because science" and that would've sufficed for me, lol, thanks for the knowledge bomb though!
THE BEST COMMENT EVER ON TH-cam. In fact, not just a comment, but a comprehensive ElectroChemistry lesson for us all.
thanks for explaining, science side of youtube
I didn't read this whole thing but I loved your effort! I gave it a like!!
I was bored in the office... That’s what I was lol ^_^

ROTFFLMAO
This was funtabulous! Once I found an old wok - wasn't as bad with rust oxidation - but I tried to tell people the pan could be re-seasoned. I haven't gotten it fully restored, but watching this helped. Thanx.
You had me hooked at the flailing legs in the dumpster!!!
jeanette jack subscribed because of that😂
Me too
one of the many highlights of this video was finding out that cast iron pans have pores
Suzy Q They do but for the most part you want to fill them in! The shiner and more glasslike the skillet is the less likely it is to stick. If you compare the difference between a antique Grizwald or Wagner cast iron skillet that’s been regularly used and properly maintained! Vs. say a new Lodge brand skillet you’ll find that the lodge skillet is quite rough looking and feeling. This is due to the fact that the lodge skillet isn’t as finely ground/polished as the antique skillets. If you ever buy a cast iron skillet( highly recommend) I would look for a antique skillet that’s been well cared for than a new one! I have used both and highly prefer the antique skillet over the new ones! My lodge skillets are after 10 years of regular use only about half way to being smooth as glass. It’s taken many years of seasoning and use to build the carbon layers to where they will fill the pores and things won’t stick.
Next video: How to rinse open pores on a recently restored cast iron skillet.
I got a cast iron pan from someone's garbage once too. A little scrub scrub, some seasoning and boom! We've been using it for years, great pan. I look for cast iron regularly at 2nd hand shops and yard sales!
I love that everyone is just critical of his cooking skills in the comments
I'macat i mean, he burnt watery pancakes
Michael Miller they were crepes
jubjub247 okay and? you’re not the one eating them...
jubjub247 this aint no cooking show tho sdfgjk
jubjub247 honestly you just need to stop, i don’t need to admit anything. this is not a cooking show lol. he was just repairing a pan and made some crepes. you’re doing too much
Ohh mini Crépes 😍 very good restoration, was very interesting to watch with these techniques 👌
ikr
Thanks buddy!
From trash to treasure and YOU DID IT !!! I enjoyed watching your knowledge transform it.
Wow him flapping the gloves off was life changing!
i have one like this,i live in Norway and this pan is part of a Scandinavian culture..this iron pan is very heavy.. and when i say " heavy" i mean really HEAVY... you don`t need a gun or a baseball bat to protect your house, one iron pan like this and one hit in the right place and the thief is dead like stone... the old house wives used to kill their unfaithfull husbands with an iron pan like this.. so ladies... if you have something in mind don`t use an Ikea pan.. buy one like this.. it works ! :-) )))
brown eyed girl these pans are for disciplining a cheating husband haha
I have a cast iron frying pan.
😄😄😄
Lol, my daughter in law wants my big camping skillet.. maybe I should ask what her intentions are 😏
In Poland we use dough roller. May be not so heavy, but with a little of practice you can educate the husband how to behave properly.
"Honey, the hobo is back dumpsterdiving again"
ahahah wish the trash in my country were like that...here trash is real tarsh, nothing valuabel in general :/
My aunt had a quote on the wall " I love hard work I could watch it all day long. " 😲
I have ice tea spoons made by this company....it was my mother's stainless from the 50s. Quality stuff.
Love this. I have some of my grandmothers cast iron from the early 1900's. Nothing cooks as well.
Gense is founded in my hometown. It warms the heart a bit extra to se this pan being rescued!

Tiny crépes for tiny Fae
Not crepes but blinis, to be eaten with caviar. (Russian and Nordic tradition)
@@joseanoguera5898 nah, that pan is used to make "lettu"s or "lätty"s. finnish "crepes" or pancakes or whatever. well, I guess you could also make blinis with that

You’re the only person I know that can make 10 minutes of cleaning a pan fun
Looks brand new again! Might I suggest using a microfiber cloth instead of the paper towel so you don't get pieces of towel in your seasoning.
i just subscribed because i was hoping for him to actually use the pan to make crepes AND HE DID
"Crepes"... lol no, those are pancakes, albeit in a smaller size.
AverageArts yeah I was gonna say pancakes but it was technically a crepe pan so I just said crepes 😂
@@mallorygarcia5154 "You know, just to put this in there, I had a whole mess of crepes this morning. They're just like pancakes, maybe even better."
Mallory Garcia... that is not a crepe pan... that is a pan for making Swedish pancakes (Plattar) that are not either regular pancakes, nor are they crepes...crepes are French and the recipe is completely different... I have my Grandmother's pan like this and I am 74 years old...
Dakiniwoman ohhh I see thanks for letting me know
I just realized I'm halfway through a 12 minute video about someone washing dishes. . . . . . *facepalm*
Hmm... do you wash your dieshes in saltwater and elctrocute it? If so.... not bad MIster, not bad.
While you don't even wash your dishes, what a shame!
Omg I’m glad I read this half way through the video I gotta go to work !
The electrolysis was pointless. Vinegar would work better, but you can just use an electric drill with a wire brush attachment and do the whole rust removal job in about five minutes. At some point you have to make sure EVERY bit of rust, old seasoning or baked on grot gets removed and this is easiest done with a power tool.
The actual seasoning shown wasn't great but four coats will do the job.
Rob lots of ignorant people i see... oh well. Just an usual day...
This was so interesting to watch. How could anyone let such a beautiful cast iron pan go to pot! You did a great job. I love castiron cookware.
Dude's like - OH HEY HYDROGEN CAN BE LETHAL BC IT EXPLODES

Nina Graf it would take way more than that run could produce to do anything more than singe a eyebrow!
That transition from the dumpster back to the workshop was godly
A flip that's available in every video editing software?
another process of getting rid of rusts. seen other channels uses sandblaster but this guy uses his patience and full effort.
7:27 "Honey, why is the oven running?"
"I'm just baking a pan"
"A pan of what?"
...
Good one, though I generally do my seasoning out on the grill as the process of seasoning stinks like well burnt oil!
Pan is bread in our country
@@lettynamang5444 yeah, in my country it is also bread.
To all my Witcher 3 fans
“FOUND THE PAN HAVE YE??”
I was looking for that comment XD
"But mine were black with soot, and I could see myself in this one if I wanted, but those years are long past"
LMAOOOOO
nice work! I have purchased a few of those and the rust comes off with just scrubbing and some baking soda without going into complicated processes :)
Nothing like crepes made with the same gloves which just scrubbed a rusty pan.
Adds texture and flavour
No one's going to eat anything.
What do you mean?
He wears those gloves to bed too.
That's funny
Best restoration channel! You're amazing. I actually wait for you to put new videos out 😂 haven't posted a comment until today but I had to. I could watch you for days. Your humor is the best. Keep it up 💕
You must not watch many restoration channels then, this isn't even in
the bottom 5 here compared to channels like Handtool Rescue, Rescue and
Restore or Restore It.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
As someone who was never taught how to season a skillet i really appreciate you adding that in there! :)
Pork fat really is the best for it. Once it’s seasoned, hot water and paper towels are are you need to clean it. A tiny bit of soap, if it’s really dirty. No abrasives!
Looks like I'm gonna spend the COVID-19 global quarantine restoring my cast iron skillet
I've done 4 so far, with 8 more on deck... but I do it totally differently. In the oven on self clean for a few hour, then clean and do the oil coat (so thin that it looks like it's all gone) at least 5 times, baking for an hour in a 450°F oven each time, and letting it come to safe handling temp in between each round.
How's that coming along?
Did you restore it yet
@@AnyColorYouLikeBro its been done!! Looks great too
@@mc10333 yes I did!! Looks great too😊
Nice job! This is a traditional Swedish mini pancake pan, called "Plättjärn". I would tweak that pancake recipe though, replacing the water with milk, eggs and some melted butter.
I soak or rusty iron tools in cider vinegar for a couple days or longer. Removes the rust just as well. Then I coat with motor oil.
Dumpster diving with my Pa growing up was always the best we’d find so many awesome things
With my Mom & favorite Aunt. 😁 Sometimes the finds would be mind blowing. 🤯
In my rural end of the world, we had dumps, not dumpsters. (I'm old.) That was Dad's Sunday afternoon drive, cruising around to the dumps sites looking for stuff. I once found a white gold men's wedding band.
Nice! You use the same gloves for restoring the pan and cooking. Delicious!
That was such a turn on when he just flicked his oven mittens off. 😩 7:45
I probably watched it like 20 times
Me: How did I get here 😳
Also Me: Wow, that’s cool 🤩
This is the best example of 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'
Eating the pan-cakes at the end was the best part of the video 🤣🤣😂😂👍
Especially with the eating sound effects at 10:46 😆
Ooouu the way you flipped your oven mitts off....so impressive 😂😂
Always learn something from watching you work.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙂🙂🙂👍🏼🎄
I just sand blast old ones I find and season it right away. Quick and easy.
He didn't even have a wire brush! lol
Exactly......so much easier, & same results.
Sandblasting can weaken it though. You're taking a layer of metal off when you do that. Thinning the cast iron. www.seriouseats.com/2014/12/how-to-restore-vintage-cast-iron-cookware.html
"Sandblasting is another method Nick says to steer clear of: it not only cleans everything off, it also permanently alters the original surface of the cast iron.'
@@myshmallow Sandblasting is a general term, you can use walnut shells which will strip away the rust but won't cut into the metal, it's commonly used on cars and plastic parts for removing paint.
Absolutely love this channel! Thanks for the great content!
This guy has a wonderful energy! videos are off the chain!!! Great work 💯💯💯
Like they always say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure..."
What about cleaning off the oven cleaner residue before oiling? Yum delicious easy off oven cleaner!
I'm sure he did in between steps.
@@FlutePlayer777 thank you!
Nice work. Don’t use lard for seasoning, it’s low on polyunsaturated fats, which you need a lot of to create a strong polymer seasoning that will last you. Grapeseed and sunflower oils are great.
I love to see things restored... too many wonderful items are just discarded for no good reason.
9:30 “huh, the pans already seasoned, I wonder what else he could be doing with that- oh he’s making the little crepes I see.”
Thanks, thumbs up just for the pic hanging upside down in the dumpster! That was mt fear at times, falling in....but they pretty much outlaw it here now, and I am old(er). Great save! That was an amazing work!
My mother told me that my maternal grandmother found a discarded iron pan. She cleaned it by putting it in a fire until everything was burnt off. This seems a lot easier and safer.
My sister has it now, because she asked for it first. If you snooze, you lose. ;-D
another great way to warp and crack an antique.
Putting it into a fire is a good way for it to crack or explode.
@@dollhousemakr Well, apparently not that pan.
Yea it sounds good KILL IT WITH FIRE !!!!
I love that the parchment paper was burned to bits by the end 😁 the eating sounds remind me of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
I love cast iron, I've restored a couple of these that I've found. Mine weren't rusty enough to warrant electricity, just scrubbed with a sugar cube and steel wool, then did the "grease burning" treatment. Used same Muurikka tube of unsalted pork fat. One pan was so grimy, it was a surprise to find it was actually enameled!
I have one similar that I restored a couple years ago. I had no idea what it was used for so I use it to fry eggs.
You know that I have issues with fried eggs. The pan I use is cured. Yet somehow I keep getting the egg white sticking. The previous day the eggs slide like marbles on ice and the next day I have to use the spatula. Wierd. It's a standard joke in my house. Possibly I need that special needs egg pan
Can also be used for muffin tops, i think. Or english muffin.
@@pa0lab00m7 sort of like the production lines in factory. Just keep them coming
@@pa0lab00m7 That would indeed be very flat muffins; they'd be approx. 2 mm in height. Right?
In sweden we use them to make Plättar, they are like mini pancakes. :)
Dude, I love your videos!!! They are very informative and totally entertaining! Please keep them coming💪🤙👏👏👏👏
WAY more intense than the average cast iron restoration lol!
You know when electricity is involved....it's SERIOUS!
He whipped them oven mitts off like a true pro 💪🏾
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
Add wet into dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Should be thin. Use REAL butter on hot plet pan, fill each circle almost to top. Work fast using a smooth not sharp knife, they can stick. Enjoy with powder sugar, syrup and fruit.
I’ve gotten atleast 4 of my cast iron pans this way gotta love when people throw away gold like this!
"Show your real self"

I love 💘 the old cast iron pans they're so awesome to me . Almost like a piece of art , I'm so glad you restored it
The plate with the letters behind each crepe moved me to subscribe 😂
