    I’m yet to decide if that gut biome is a nerf or a buff.

  When I bought my house I discovered a treasure trove of old cast iron in the (very modern) oven. They all looked like this and smelled like rancid oil. It was not fun to deal with lol

    Sounds terrible but also awesome if they were good enough to be used after cleaning. I know that smell though… terrible.

      Honestly, I may have gotten lucky because I didn’t need to do much rust removal. Took them outside and hosed them down, then got to work removing the burnt in bits and evening out the seasoning. Took me about two afternoons per pan. One of the pans is definitely an antique, so I haven’t used it because it might have lead in it
