I resuscitated one of my old dutch ovens today
I have a twelve inch Lodge dutch oven that I had used exclusively for frying fish for about 10 years and then put in the shop and forgot about. It still had oil in it and the lid was pretty rusty, but it was in decent shape. I emptied all the old oil and used scalding hot water to loosen up the layers accumulated oil and corn meal. After I wiped all the old gunk out of it I scalded it again and rubbed it down in Crisco and re-seasoned it in the oven. Now I need to try it out to make certain it is ready to go to the woods.
Better late tha never, I hope.
