Cast iron is a porous metal that easily forms rust, making it unsafe for cooking. It is a great piece of cookware that can last with proper care. Use this guide to restore your cast iron skillet by stripping and replacing the coating.
This guide requires the use of power tools, so it is strongly recommended to wear safety equipment when handling any of these tools. Grinders are especially dangerous without eye protection.
Before beginning, make sure you are in a well ventilated area. Metal dust will quickly fill the air around you.
