/ @ajrestoration Good day Ladies and Gentlemen. This Cast Iron casserole/Dutch Oven is relatively new but was found at the local scrap metal dealer. I thought it the perfect opportunity to try my hand at removing rust with Molasses.
I had a few viewers suggest I should try to restore cast Iron with Molasses, so here is my two-week experiment.
I hope you enjoy the video.
If you have any suggestions for improvement, or compliments share them below!

Thank you all for your support! I appreciate all of you!
The sandblaster seems like the best rust remover.
That's just what I was going to offer) My dad cleaned skillets by sandblasting them long-long ago)
mml
That is true.
@@AJRestoration andre. Die veit dat jy die ergste roes eers af haal met die molasses maak die sand blasting baie vinniger. Baie kere as ek parte het met verf op moet ek dit eers brand voor ek dit sand blast. Spaar baie tyd om nog eers die verf ook af te sand blast want baie verwe sit soos snot dan gaan jy sukkel hahaha
Was going say why not just sandblast from the start.
another method that works, sand for grit, white vinegar (wear gloves) and a sponge. get rid of the rust but not the years of seasoning.
hearth wisdom from my great-great-great aunt when I was a child.
People really get bent out of shape over cast iron. You do it the way you want to do it and don't worry about anyone else.
That is what I also say, Its just cast iron, restore it and have fun all the way.
Removing rust that way is as grandma used to say, slower than molasses in January! She probably had a sandblaster hidden in the barn ☺️ Seems to be honeybee approved anyway 🐝 That noodle dish sure looked good, all the more tasty from the nicely seasoned dutch oven.
It really tasted way better that what I looked like haha. Grandma was correct it will take forever to effectively remove all the rust.
THANK YOU for your restoration videos. i enjoy watching them all.
here are some tips:
1. for an iron pan, remember the chinese saying "hot pan, cold oil, foods wont stick" (it rhymes in chinese... heat the pan until just smoking, then add oil & swirl it around.
2. once the oil is heated until just beginning to smoke, add the meat, and quickly spread it out so it's not piled on top of itself, which would lead to steaming... let it cook for about two minutes before trying to move it. that way it builds a nice crust and will release from the pan. this is especially important with ground beef.
Thank you very much!
@@AJRestoration this method really does work! Heat the pan very hot, then add the oil and swirl it around. When it begins to shimmer, add whatever you’re cooking, and it won’t stick!
good restore👍👍
Thank you very much!
I wish we had a scrap yard for findings like these....
Never heard of using molasses to get ride of rust! My grandmother always told me to season it at 500 degrees F. Looks like it did a great job on the lighter rust. It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
That is why I had to try it since i got quite a few comments mentioning molasses. Turned out its not worth it.
@@AJRestorationq❤
Yo, AJ you did'it again !!! Nobody can do it better than AJ !!! 👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Haha I wish that was true though! Thank you so much for the comment John!
Beautiful restoration AJ beautifully presented well done
Glad you liked it Vince!
Thanks for sharing another great restoration ☺️ I was wondering the recipe of the macaroni and if on your videos you cook things If you could put the recipes in the info ? Thanks again and be blessed
Ill look for it in my mother's recipe book.
Yes please 😊
idc what u say, ur cooking looks AMAZING ✨✌️
Molasses is pretty expensive last I checked. I would just buy evaporust if I was going to spend that much money. Vinegar works quicker than molasses and is cheap. Sandblasting is always good to if you have the setup.
It is quite expensive yes.
Lovely restoration! I wish I could find myself such a pot, but here all we have is thin enameled little cauldrons. I cant help but say that the beginning stages of that recipe reminded me of Kay' cooking show... dont look her up
Hahaha I'm going to look her up now.
Haha okay okay, I am going to say she has a lovely channel going there, really original and personal kind of channel with no fluff and camera crap haha, its got a real organic feel to it. I love it actually, you just gave her a new subscriber hahahaha. Ill have to admit her Iron Maiden T-shirt was awesome.
@@AJRestoration Yes, her T shirt choice is quite nice.
Wire wheeling or soaking a part in vinegar before sandblasting can save you a lot of time and also result less unk in your blasting cabinet.
It looks completely new. Excellent job
Thank you very much!
Amazing finish at the end a lovely pot
Flax seed gives you the hardest coat🤘🏼

I always wonder how these fixes are discovered - 'Well I had a bucket of watered-down molasses on my porch so I figured I'd throw my rusty pot in there for a week just to see what happened." Obviously probably someone with chemical knowledge figured you could do that but it always makes me wonder.
Man I think that back in the day someone was making sugar in some iron cookware and noticed that the pots don't rust.
Excellent recovery! In the final it was very appetizing, and although I wasn't hungry, I had to go eat something. :D
Thank you very much!
Is it just me, or was that an utter waste of molasses..🤔
In my eyes, yes its a waste of time also haha.
No, it was FOR SCIENCE!
I agree
Looks new, well done. 😀😀😀
Thank you very much!
Cool its in the new studio/workshop. Congratz
Thank you!
I'm going to need that recipe.
Ill try and find it in my mother's recipe book haha
Vinegar and water works well to remove rust
Nice finish, man! Looks great!
Thank you, Andy!
Truly amazing work.
I use vinegar and baking soda on medium rust that one I would of sand blasted I bought many year ago. 5 cast iron frying pans and a Dutch oven badly rusted got them all $8 went through a 80 lb bag of sand and bought a harbor freight blaster and came out beautiful and then put them on a restored grates and reseasoned. Them it's a great investment but I sanded smooth all the roughness
4:50: good idea. Don't want to drown any bees.
Wow dit lyk stunning!!
love your iron restoration videos!
I use an old computer power supply for Electrolysis,, and Oxyclean powder to make the solution,, all the info is right here on youtube....sand blasting is not needed.
I use 8 coats of Flax Seed oil when seasoning cast iron cookware.
You know you have the right Flax seed oil when the oil has to be refrigerated after opening.
425F for 1 hour, let completely cool between coats.
Like allways, first thump, then watching.
Hmmmm - like to see a Pot like this after a week in Evapo Rust.
Greetings from Germany.
You know where to get Evaporust in Germany?
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk Never looking for this in a shop. If I would need, I'll ordering that online. My knowing about comes from Hand Tool Rescue, so I wrote this to a german Maker on YT. He testet it and was very enthusiastic for the result. AJ testeted it and found it usefull.
That might be a future video, I am quite intrigued by the idea.
Another enjoyable video, thanks for trying a different method for removing rust even though it didn't turn out as well as you hoped. Never would have thought to put minced beef in with creamy cheese pasta, would you possibly list the ingredients used and put it on Fire and Friends. 👌
Thank you very much! Fire and friends unfortunately does not exist anymore.
I would think Evapo-Rust would do the trick. Then a good sandblasting and wire brushing before doing the seasoning part. I wouldn't think molasses would do such a good job removing rust anyway lol
it takes a long time, but it keeps removing rust the longer it's left in it. the benefit is more for large items like car frames because feed grade molasses is much, much cheaper than evoporust or other chemicals; you can make a huge vat of the stuff to dip something in for cheap
@@briangoldberg4439 I can give it to you that it is cheaper, but you can reuse Evapo-Rust over and over again even when it’s dirty and black. Ask Hand Tool Rescue lol
@@MarkMeadows90 the amount of evaporust you would need to dip a whole car frame or anything else that large would be astronomically expensive. hardly an option for the average DIY job
@@MarkMeadows90 I have an issue restoring things you eat out of with chemicals, especially cast iron. Evapo-Rust is good on anything else. Jmo
@@johnnyb1776 Well, there's always a good sandblast
Tem outros modos de limpeza sem usar asidos eso faser uma fervura com eucalipto só as folias
I'll stick to lye baths or e-tank rather then sand blasting
Now you’re a cooking show too! 2 for 1 lessons today! What was the powder you added? Cheese powder? Great job as always!
Sweet molasses using it to remove rust oh well at least you have tried it 👍
Thanks for the heart young man 😎👍
great vid aj....love the disclaimer that you're not a chef jajajaja.... the pot looked new after your restoration...
Thank you very much! So many people judge the cooking, and I'm like bro, its not about the cooking. haha
Great video. Thought you would finish with EvapoRust or acid 😀. How long do you get out of a camera when recording the sandblasting?
I wanted to try Citric acid actually.
Did you ever try sandblasting one of these pans and then leaving it soak in the molasses water for two weeks? I wonder if the molasses can be used to colour the pan black prior to seasoning (after sandblasting)? Or instead of seasoning entirely?
next time don't waste it. it has sugar it has iron use it on your flowers and other plants and see the difference❤
I did empty the containers on my compost heap though.
@AJ_restorations
Hi I need help please tell me how should I clean power tools body like it's first day and clean paint and grease from it
Thanks alot 😊 🙏
I would get it clean with lot of white vinager and a steel whool, you could get the same results in less of an hour.
Would you mind to share the recipe of that at the end? What's the name of the dish?
Buenisimo...!!!
Add a can of diced tomatoes.
That would be amazing actually. I usually add the tomatoes after the dish is finished.
2 weeks???
Any idea what wire to use for a replacement handle if it is missing?
That is about 3 or 4 mill rod, or round bar would do the trick.
Got to get the gunk and loose stuff off first
Ficou lindo demais
After 2 weeks of derusting with molasses:
1. kids hungry
2. wife cranky
3. all asking when can you cook a stue in that pot coz they are sick of sandwiches
👍👏
Why bother with the molasses if your gonna bead blast it?
I think you missed the idea of the video haha
Molasses, ain't nobody got time for that...
My thoughts exactly!
I wonder, have you ever accidentally etched a smiley face on something and it wouldn't come off?
Yes in one of the first Cast iron videos, you could still see the smiley slightly if you tilted the pot in the correct way.
@@AJRestoration 😆😆😆 live and learn, mate.
Frist like then waching video.
You're the best!
I suppose molasses works good enough: you've missed a wire brushing procedure (should be performed before applying any chemicals).
Btw, consider cooking instead with animal fats (duck fat, beef lard, pork dripping, ghee, butter, etc.) as they are much healthier than cooking with seed oils (so called "vegetable" oils) which cause vascular inflammation and macular degeneration. Olive oil is ok, but it cannot take as high a temperature as animal fats-so I'd rather use those. And your tastebuds will thank you : )
All you had to do was put it in the oven on 500 for a couple hours and the rust will bake off.
My oven does not have that feature.
🙋🏻♂️🇦🇷🤜🏻🤛🏻
Agree with your assessment of the results. Yes Citric would do a much better job. and keeping some heat in the citric, near boiling, will speed things along nicely.
What was the dish you cooked,, and a simple list of ingredients please??? I get it with the ground beef, and noodles. That looked like milk? And a mix of two thing in the measure cup>> ?? Looks good to me also!!
Thank you very much! Ill have a look in my mother's recipe book for you.
thats not Mr. turtle brush
Seriously, just get a laser rust remover. They're incredible and don't harm the surface (they also remove paint)
Seriously, who’s got 30+K to drop on a tool?
Maybe you can sponsor one of those laser tools? Drop me a email!
@@AJRestoration Or maybe you can get the company to sponsor you.
@CAO Designworks well get to work organising it
А сразу отпескоструить слабо? Нахера было с химией извращаться? Взял казан отпескоструил, смазал маслом и в печь делов на 20 минут,а тут 2 недели в какой-то бурде квасилось.
WHY would you title the video removing the rest with molasses only to then screw up the process so then you blast it?
Please, I hope that since this video you realize what you did wrong and it's more than 50% bothering you to change this video with you describing.
Completely 👎
You missed the point of the video entirely
@@AJRestoration what then? That you, different from so many other people, don't know how to remove rust from cast iron cookware? What am I missing? Sooo many people for soooo long have correctly, throughly remove rust and restored cast iron cookware
I'd rather watch your videos than taste your food. About the molasses.... 14 days waiting for a mediocre result... turn on the sandblaster and get rid of all of it in a blink of an eye.
Thank god its a restoration channel and not a cooking channel ;-)
@@AJRestoration You are a great restorer AJ!.
Sorry but I could achieved that in under 48 hours with electrolysis, a pressure cleaner, a wire wheel and animal fat or dripping.
Use sand gun at the beginning, why you lose water and time? Be smart man, anyway thanks, next time save water and time
I think you missed the point of the experiment.
it taste maybe good but it looks like catfood.....
so true hahaha
