Thank you for the coca-cola tip. I'm working on a cookbook for Boy Scouts. My review on the peanut butter cookies tells a little about that. I'll have to include that Coke tip in the section on Dutch Ovens which are cast iron.
Another tip on cast iron is that when I very lightly wash them, I turn the stove top eye on warm and leave the pan just long enough to dry out good before putting it away. Or, if the oven is still warm from baking (but not still on), I stick the pan in overnight to benefit from being warmed good and dry.

.... Thanks so much for your prompt reply Cyndia, yes it was the fireplace..... i read on another sight to use coca-cola to get the rust off, and voila, worked like magic, after trying the steel wool, so I think I am on the way. Why did I mess with a good thing to begin with? ha... lesson learned. thanks again.

Hi Lilydancer,
I take it you put them in a campfire?
In any case, you want to use a steel wool pad to rub off the rust. Then go over these steps here.
It will take a while to rebuild the coating. Cooking deep fried foods helps on the build up of the coating. You can also stick the pan rubbed with a little Crisco in the oven for an hour or so after each meal for a few times to help. It's not a full seasoning. Just a light one to prevent rust and to add to the seasoning from the first time.

Now I am sitting here in Washington totally craving my Grandmother's cornbread ... she is in North Carolina! ;)
Seriously, this is an excellent editorial! I never realized the seasoning steps. This explains why my breakfasts taste so different with the T-fal, than with my Mother or Grandmas cast iron.

Great review!!! (Reply to this comment)

More information on cast iron than I have ever had before.... we love our cast iron and keep it "seasoned" with TLC...
When my son was anemic the nurses recommended cooking in our cast iron skillet or dishes ...and it has made a difference! Even when heating a tortilla, we try to use the cast iron!
Thanks!!!!

I didn't know you have to prep these! (Reply to this comment)

I thought you only prepped a Chinese Wok! The only problem I have with my cast iron pan is that food sticks to it even when it is generously oiled! I'm going to use your advice!

More than I ever knew.... (Reply to this comment)

This was a very informative article. I learned a lot from you in here. Sounds like the care in getting a cast iron pan ready for use, is the same kind of care a teen would give in breaking in a new baseball glove. (DO NOT USE LARD OR COOKING OIL ON A BASEBALL GLOVE THOUGH) LOL

I completely love my cast iron. My aunt couldn't believe it when my mom gave me an old numbered cast iron skillet. The jealousy monster reared its ugly head!
