I wish I had taken more pics of the cleaning process but I only took a few of the small one.

One thing I found out was if you ask 10 people how to clean and season a cast iron skillet, you will get 10 different answers.



I chose to make an electrolysis tank because I had everything I needed and it worked really well.

The first few pics are after about 6 hours in the tank and the last 2 is what the small one looked like after being seasoned twice.

It is because of you and this very post I bought 5 cast iron rusty pans for $2 for 4 and $1 for a big 11 1/2 Lodge pan. I put them on Facebook marketetplace and sold them for $30 (2 x $5 and 2 x $10). I am going to keep my eye out for cheaply cast iron pans from here on out!
