And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Very timely video. I have that exact pan in almost that exact condition. I also have a 5 gallon bucket of Evap O Rust. Looks Like it's going to go for a swim. Thanks a ton for posting this C.W..
OMG, the timing. I just cleaned two of these pans, having purchased them at a swap meet on Wednesday.
Both of the pans were very rusty. Not being familiar with Evapo Rust, I soaked them in vinegar for a couple of days, and then used Pepsi for an overnight soak last night. I still had to use a wire brush but it worked.
I don't understand the fascination with these "corn on the cob" style pans for cornbread. Personally I think the cornbread made in these has an inferior taste and texture compared to using a regular cast iron skillet and just cutting the cornbread into wedges. I used to have a couple of these pans but gave them away. I have lots of different sizes of conventional cast iron skillets and use them regularly.

I'll see if mom still has her old cornbread pans. She doesn't cook anymore.
ReplyDeleteSandblast with walnut shells, spray with grill paint, what's the big deal?
ReplyDeleteor coal with oil and burn it in in the oven for an hour.
DeleteI have one of those that never gets used. It does a poor job cooking cornbread. It is better to use a small cast iron frying pan.
ReplyDeleteYes, I learned the same lesson. Small skillet with its circular shape does a much better job.

Evapo rust um no. Electrolysis is the only way. I don't use chemicals on things I cook with. A plastic water trough, washing powder & dc voltage.
ReplyDeleteI used this technique to clean up an old Griswold I found in my parent's garage. Worked great.

ReplyDeleteWhatever. It's still cool to see people use some restoration skills instead of throwing everything out and buying chineese crap.
