The one I had something like 10 years ago was given to my son. It was rusted and gummed up, but I brought it home since he was not going to clean it or use it and it is like new now. I had bought a little cast iron cleaner (looks like a flint to sharpen knives, but softer since it does wear down) that was next to the checkout counter at our local Lodge cast iron store. Had never used one , or had toClap since I keep all my cast iron correctly. BUT the thing worked , I really recommend it for rusted pieces you might find in a flea market and want to restore. With the pie iron I just did as recommended to get neglected cast iron back into shape, this time wrapping the wooden handle ends in double heavy duty foil and loveinly soothing shortening in all the crannies. Wink Had soft hands also!
I think cast iron is a legecy to a lot of things American. I have a piece my Dad bought Mom before I was born and it was Used even then. It was one of the big 3 legged (#12) pots with the lid you pile coals on. Now that was in the depression, so the one pot was precious. However, true collecters groan when l them that Dad ground off the legs and smoothed them down for on/in the stove cooking. When I see those places that have been left of the peg legs it involkes pictures of loving hardship for people. Anyway, it is sooo heavy that I now have to 2 hand it to lift it. Figuring my age and when the great depression was it also is well past 75 yrs old. And looks great. I should look so goodLOL Other pieces I have are more like 30+ yrs. old and one piece I bought this year to carry in the Pod, a little 2 qt. dutch oven, cutest thing.

No...it wasn't me that talked about cleaning the pie irons....Not sure who it was..I have a pie-iron that dates to about 1940...I have never seasoned it...hmmmmm...but then, I am sure my grandmother did...It still looks good and clean for something that is circa 70 years old.

PiePod
I think you were the one that gave instructions how to clean the rusted pie iron.
this one has wooden handles, how can those be put in the oven to "season"?
Maybe wrapping them in something?? I know it will really need to be re-seasoned after the work on it. I don't keep oven cleaner on hand, so have not even started and have not been home. Hmmmm, think I am putting off a grotty job

CongratalationsThumbs Upon your marriage!
You have been busy doing ALL those things. WOW.
 
We have been gone, but not with the POD. Alas, still have not had my first test drive, but I do not plan to rush the husband and put more stress on him.
It is, however, getting "dolled" up inside, a time for everything.
Going next week when the humidity comes down to flush the system out. Will put the Clorox in it this weekend. Have dump station at Sugarlands, will get my first experience of dumping.Dead
THEN over to a less used parking lot for some backing practice.
 
Until then, keeping my patience

Mountain Mist,
 
I don't think Pod_Patrol has seen your post.  We were in Florida for 10 days (getting married) then we were home for 3 days (working), and then we were at the Eastern Roundup in Kentucky until this past Sunday....(basically, we have been gone most of June)...We are just starting to feel like we are getting out from under everything that stacked up while we were gone...
 
I'll let him know you posted to him.

I wonder if I can ask you how you do the r.pod's that are personalized. Is there a site where I can learn to do one for myself? They are really eye catching.
Thank you and I hope I have approached this in the correct manner.
