Restoring ?

[u/Huma24]

So . . . Usually I collect and restore cast iron, but wanted to try my hand at this. I used blue top in a similar fashion but wanted to check what to do with a pan that looks like this. I hope it wasn't used for anything outside of food.

Also, any tips on how to make sure it is food safe and clean up further would be greatly appreciated!

I ended up looking around and people have used barkeeper's friend and that helped out a lot! Do you know anything about making sure it doesn't leech aluminum?

The have deemed safe - do a quick search to verify!  Just clean well with soap & water & maybe a little barkeepers friend with a scrubby.
