[Sca-cooks] re: Advice on cleaning deep frying pots

[robert frazier]

the best way to "start over" with cast iron is put it
in your oven and run the self cleaning setting.it will
leave a little gray ash on the surface but there will
be no finish at all! oil it right away.
i have used this method on a number of my cast iron
finds(29 frying pans,3 leged dutches,2 unleged
dutches,5 pans,and 2 i'm not sure).
the old way is to put them into the wood stove at bed
time pull them out in the morning or put them into the
camp fire last thing be for going to bed.
