5 Step Cure for a Rusty Cast Iron Skillet

Cleaning & Organization | HGDI ADMIN

Don’t throw away that rusty cast iron skillet. Instead, clean and season it with this easy five step process.

Step 1: Rinse the rusty skillet in the hottest water, but do not use soap. Remove as much of the rust as you can with a plastic dish brush. 

Step 2: Dry the skillet with a clean towel.

Step 3: Coat the skillet, inside and out with vegetable oil.

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the skillet upside down on a cookie and put it all in the oven. Bake the skillet for an hour. 

Step 5: Allow the skillet to cool and then wipe it down with a paper towel. It is now ready to use. 

This is all you need to do to season a cast iron pan or skillet.
