So my dad was an idiot and put my brand new cast iron I got for my birthday ( I have never owned one before ) in the dishwasher and now there's rust spots all over it. How do I remedy this situation?

Learn to take care of your cast iron retard.

You barely ever wash the shits, usually the type you posted is used for frying. So when you're done frying wipe it out with a rag and put new oil in the man put on medium heat and rub it in.

DO NOT, DO NOT PUT SOAP ON CAST IRON EVER, NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you have to wash it wash it with a rag or a sponge that is a soap virgin or steel wool.

Thanks I'll go do that then. I was mainly worried if I had to scrape off all the seasoning since soap was used on it. Guess I'll just be safe and start over from scratch. Will any type of oil work or is there a preferred one? I read that flaxseed oil is the best?

You absolutely can wash it with soap and water, you simply have to dry it afterwards on all surfaces. Give it a coat of oil after drying until it starts maintaining a sheen.

It's fine, soap just destroys the season, you basically just need to remove any rust spots, cover it in a thin coat of vegetable or grapeseed oil and put it in the oven upside at 375f for an hour, then pull it out. It's a pain but your pan is fine.

>> No.12247576

Well he used both liquid dish soap and dish detergent on it so I'm worried some of that worked its way into the seasoning if that's possible.

>> No.12247580

>>12247501

Depends. How does your food taste? Does it taste like soap?

What you can do is boil water in it a fuckton. Like fill it with water, boil the shit out of it. Repeat until it's not soapy.

Cast is very porous and you can ruin them fairly easily but most of the time it's not ruined.

>> No.12247587

>>12247580
I haven't cooked in it yet but I'll try it out after I get it reseasoned and see if I have to basically start over. Alright I'm headed to the store to get the shit, see you later anons.

Use a 9 volt battery on the steel wool, it'll help charge it up (try not to touch other conductive surfaces, place your pot on a few paper towels to avoid grounding it) and help reduce the ferric oxide buildup.

It shouldn't matter that he USED soap. It matters if he didn't dry the dish afterwards. Even then you should be able to just coat it with oil and fry with it. If it is really bad, throw it in the oven for an hour or two, let it cool, then add oil. Just remember to dry it right after washing. You can use soap, steel or copper wool, anything, just dry it after washing.

Be nice to the man. Tell him the parm didn't accept soap and you'll both learn how to use one together. He'll probably even season it for you after you use it to cook dinner together. After you're done cooking immediately scrape any food off, rinse, dry on a burner, add a light layer of oil, swish, let cook for a while, then let cool. Five minutes of effort.

Flaxseed is good because it's a "hardnening" oil that leaves a good film. Take a room temp or warm pan, heat up the oven, rub pan with oil soaked rag/ paper towel, put upside down in oven. Leave it for an hour and you're done.

Canola oil.

>DO NOT put in the dishwasher
>DO NOT air dry
>DO NOT cook overly acidic things in it
>AVOID using metal utensils
>DO heat to speed up drying

You absolutely can use metal utensils, it's not fucking teflon. You can also cook acidic things in it provided you seasoned it. And you can use soap on it provided you then dry it and put a bit of oil on it. You do not have to use high smoke point oil, it really doesn't matter what fat you put on it.
