The other day, I found an elderly cornbread wedge skillet. It have been brimful away for more than 20 years, and was not properly seasoned past it was packed like sardines away. When I found it, it was covered within rust.
My question is this. How can I catch the rust out, especially in the points of the wedge, so that I can season it and make use of it?
I really similar to cooking with type iron, but I'm afraid this one might be beyond salvation.

Normally I would speak that rust is only a speedbump beside cast iron. It can other be saved. But seeing as the cornbread skillet have those narrow points that don't allow a honest scrub, I say gather yourself the grueling hours of trying to clean it. Too much elbow grease! Those block pans are replaceable for 20-25 bucks. Certainly worth it to hide away the frustration. Your time is better spent making delicious cornbread concoctions contained by your new tub!

You'll stipulation a steel brush to get adjectives the rust off later cure as you always own.
I cook with sort irons myself. I dont believe they ever go discouraging. If I was you I would use a cable brush of some sort so that you can get into the concrete to reach areas and do as other .
after scrubbing it consequently drying, coat withsome veg oil and put it within the oven for 30 minutes on medium. after it cools if the rust is still nearby i would then use it for a planter contained by the garden
I picked up a cast iron fajita skillet at a patio sale, and while it wasn't contained by as bad shape as yours, it did enjoy a bit of rust. I used steel wool on the rust, then seasoned it over and over, more or less 6 times over a couple weeks and it was fine. I used butter and put it in at 450 for...whenever I remembered to turn rotten the oven! Which was probably 2-3 hours. You can stockpile it, it'll just purloin a while before it's usable again.
