Cast Iron Wednesday 06-14-2023: I Will Do Science To It
Tonight on Cast Iron Wednesday, we’ll be cleaning out the lye tank and seeing what cast iron has collected there since I moved to my new home in New York, nearly a year ago. I love cleaning cast iron in the lye tank, and it truly is the lazy man’s way to clean cast iron. Just drop your cast iron pieces into the lye, and forget about them for weeks or months; then, take them out and clean them when you feel like it. If you clean and restore antique cast iron on a regular basis, building a lye tank is well worth the investment. It doesn’t cost much, and you can clean cast iron pieces at your own pace, without having to worry about the iron being damaged if it’s left in the lye for too long. This is a live YouTube chat, and as always, everyone in the chat is encouraged to ask and answer questions about cast iron: cleaning and restoring cast iron (like we’re doing tonight), cooking, collecting, and identifying cast iron cookware. Come on by at 8:00 PM Eastern tonight and have fun with us! Would we “lye” to you?
