Scrub with soapy water and 3M green pad.

Rinse well. When you think it rinsed enough; rinse again.

Dry with towel and heat on kitchen range to super dry.

Season as usual.


I’ve done a lot of pieces this way.




Never had any iron crack using this method? I personally wouldn’t use this method on a treasured heirloom or an expensive piece of iron.
