[Sca-cooks] Rust removal

[Betsy Marshall]

Not sure if this will work on rust, but my mom was known to put a few overly
grungy cast-iron skillets thru the oven cleaning process, than re-season
them.

I just use soap (food-safe) and water, then season it.  The seasoning
process will take care of the rest of it.  Don't use anything abrasive on
cast iron.  A plastic brush is all I use.

Which reminded me: what do the members of this august company prefer 
for rust removal from cast iron? My mother just gave me her old 
ableskiver pan and it's awfully rusty. This is going to be difficult. 
I'm hesitant to dive in with chemical rust removers because then the 
trick is to remove the remover before using the pan for actual food 
without chemicals. You see the quandry.

In the meantime, I'm going out to get a wire brush that will attach to 
my power drill, that may save some elbow grease anyway.

Best,
