Don’t Toss That Rusty Cast Iron Yet—Try This First

A cast iron pan is the workhorse of a kitchen. This versatile pan can handle intense heat from an open flame. Whereas non-stick pans wear out and must be replaced, a cast iron pan only improves with age. The more you cook with it, the more seasoned it becomes, and many cast iron pans are often passed down from generation to generation. But cast iron pans aren’t indestructible. Fail to care for your cast iron pan properly and, iron being iron, it will rust. A rusty cast iron pan isn’t ruined. You just need to clean and restore it.
