  • Maybe not the right thread, but for second hand cast iron cookware, would you bother taking the whole thing back to bare metal, or just give it a thorough soapy clean and reseason?

  • You mean for hygiene reasons?

  • I store potatoes in mine and just wait for the £25-£40 lidel auldi jobs to come along

  • But no, just use it (soft soap wash) - I've not seen any beyond having a few chip in the enamel - how bad is it?

    The one on the right is le crusty, unused for four years but, used until the auldi one turned up - if I tried to scour either of them it would fk it

  • How good or bad is the current finish. For hygiene just wash with soap and water then blast in a hot oven for 30 minutes.

    To strip and re season use a BBQ and build a fire under around and over it to burn off all the finish then wash and dry then re season.
