I Found Rusty Cast Iron Pan from Trash and Restored It

Couple weeks ago I found this rusty cast Iron pan from a dumpster. I didn't see any cracks so I thought it's definitely worth saving and of course It makes also nice little video of the restoration and seasoning process. Next week I'll do something more complex again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Support me: T-Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/odd-tinkering-2 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/oddtinkering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/odd.tinkering/ What I used on the video: Oven Cleaner: https://amzn.to/2NLaNyO Steel wool: https://amzn.to/2zG4aVU Scotch Brite:https://amzn.to/34ek4Fa My watch: https://amzn.to/2YVefZt Some of my tools: Basic rotary tool: https://amzn.to/2SOD5Je Bending rotarytool shaft: https://amzn.to/2YTvDxL Chuck norris' toothbrush: https://amzn.to/2YfXUj2 Better rotary tool: https://amzn.to/2WF75I6 Drill press for rotary tool: https://amzn.to/2Uiv1Eu 2-xis table for the drill press https://amzn.to/2WPkttl Power file: https://amzn.to/2URHvPq Cordless drill: https://amzn.to/2Wois77 Scroll saw: https://amzn.to/31Eblej --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE ▶▶▶ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf_s... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Restoration playlist▶ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVIxIjRNxFv5VRUXt66VzBxOys1GpmBp4 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I started with by electrolytic rust removal. If you try it, I recommend checking out some tutorials because you are dealing with water and electricity after all. Also as mentioned doing it outside or in well ventilated area is recommended because of the formed gasses. Then I cleaned the pan further with oven cleaner, steel wool and scotch brite. I needed to remove all the old seasoning to get the new seasoning stick properly. I doesn't show too well on the video but at the end the pan is cleaned to the bare metal finish (dark gray instead of black). After the cleanup I used pig fat or lard to create the new seasoning. I started by heating the pan to 100 degrees CELCIUS. This open up the pores on the cast iron and allows better more durable seasoning. after the pan was heated I put on the fist layer of pig fat. then I baked the pan in 250 degrees for 30-60 minutes and let it cool for a moment (not nearly to room temperature). I reaped baking and recoating 5 times, until I was happy with the results. I tested the pan by making "finnish pancakes" which are basically crepes but slightly different I used pre-made powder to speed up the baking process. That's why it looks like it's only flour and water (it's not). Thanks for checking out my video once again! Please, if you liked my video, consider subscribing and leave a like and a comment!
