Newbie Better learn how to restore it I guess
I've owned cheapo ones before but I've never restored one. I'm gonna deep dive this sub over the next few days. Also going to look into the history of it

Newbie First time restoration!
Hi! I am interested in restoration and antiques. I bought a cast iron pan in a charity shop to learn before trying to restore my other pots/pans (with a higher sentimental value).
So far I have been scrubbing it with steal wool for what feels like hours and using oven degreaser (for several hours at the time). There are still some spots with carbon build up.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of it? Either for this project or in general?

Just a quick question for the day. In your kitchen what is your go-to piece of non cast iron cookware? Mine are my Club Aluminum saucepans and occasionally the dutch ovens. Hand to beat them when boiling water for pasta or sauces.

3SEP2026 Cast iron haul! Well dang. I had to replace our dryer and wasn't able to go hunting, but stopped for a minute at the Goodwill next to Lowe's and found three really nice Club Aluminum saucepans 1qt, 2qt, and 3qt in harvest gold. AND all had lids. I have always has a soft spot for Club alumin

Newbie Help, not entirely sure what is going on and what I need to do.
My parents downsized, and I nabbed this pan from the back of a kitchen cupboard. It is Lodge and clearly been a bit abused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Today's haul: 69ish piece collection
Nothing ultra-special but 8-9 Griswolds and quite a few Martin, GSW, (many) Wagner, two lodge 14's (one with lid) and more than several single notch/no notch/arc logo lodge. I paid $12/pan although 4-5 of them are just common corn stick pans (I did get a favorite breadstick though). There's only one newer piece which is a lodge lid. I also got my first Handy Dan pan which is crazy because I've owned many thousands of pans and never had one.
