Old Dutch Oven

[DOGMAN]

I found this really old cast iron Dutch Oven the other day in this old abandon cabin in the National Forest and brought it home. It is super rusty, but still in good shape. I tried scrubbing the rust off with a little oil and steel wool, but barely made any headway with it after investing alot of elbow grease.

Any suggesstions on how to get this thing clean and cooking again.

Nell - How did yours turn out?

[nell67]

It's great!!!!! It is going in my camping kit,I love the cast iron cookwear over any thing else I have tried,and this little one is the perfect size for camping.

[Rick]

Super! The clean spot will disappear with time. Just keep it oiled so food doesn't still there.

Great, thanks alot Nell...that previous thread is perfect.

[nell67]

Try filling it full of "White vineger" and letting it soak overnight, pour off the vineger and hit it with a pressure washer.

Something else that works is mixing 50/50 "CLR" and water. Let is soak several hours and then using a green scrubber pad.

After you do either of these you will have to cure it. I like to use animal fat and a hot fire.

failing all else, there's always sand/bead blasting.

Or just use it for a big batch of super hot chili, and skip your "ONE-A-DAY PLUS IRON" for a week, it should come out about right............

You can also use reverse electrolysis to effectively "clean" the rust off. This is what they use when a shipwreck is found in the ocean. They can recover and perfectly restore rusted cannons from old wrecks, as well as any other precious metals they find. This is also used a lot in restoring old cars. Check out the following link, I think it does a very good job of giving a "how-to"
