When my cast iron gets rusty I just keep cooking with it. The rust goes away. I assume into my food where it becomes an essential nutrient.
I don’t get the big deal about seasoning. I always cook with some sort of fat, so nothing sticks usually.
- orangepurple 4y agoI badly screwed up my cast iron pan by frying shredded meat with lots of blood (Korean BBQ). However, I converted all non-metal stuff to pure carbon ash by heating the pan to 750 F with my 25 year old electric range. At this heat it was very uncomfortable to keep a flat palm hovering one foot over the pan for any period of time. But it cleared up very nicely after some smoke that I extracted with a dedicated kitchen fan. The ash was scraped off like dust. I wouldn't do this without an exhaust under any circumstances though.
