OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY I got my Clyde's planner last week. I need to go check my comment. These are really awesome & I'm new to cast iron, this eraser is amazing!
I have one huge cast iron skillet that my oldest son gave me. It’s very deep and huge.
I have used salt and steel wool. I have removed a little bit but it’s in very bad shape.
I have cooked with cast iron skillet’s for going on 50 years.
🤗👍
I honestly didn't think it would work. I'm pleasantly surprised.
How do you get the gunky buildup off the bottom of the cast iron? My grandfather always put his in the fireplace ashes . I can't remember anything other than that.
Thank you !! Sending Love from Georgia !! 🍑
I didn't think it would work that well , I love it. I have several cast iron skillets and this is definitely a much easier way to get the rust off . Thanks for the chance to win one 👍 I would love to know where to buy some. Love your videos
I've used steel wool with good success. Their magic eraser seems to do well also. When the wife and I got married 26 years ago both our families protested so we just kind of eloped. My mother was the only one who bought us anything as a gift. She bought us one 11 inch cast iron frying pan. Today that pan has had thousands of meals having been cooked in it and in the early years many things burnt in it,lol. We have a great selection of lodge cast iron,but nothing will ever replace that first one that was there in our lil apartment on day 1.
I’ve always used steel wool as well (or Brillo). If I happen to burn something on it, steel wool does the job; then I wash it with water & dish soap, dry it with a towel and then immediately cover it with oil again and wipe off excess with paper towel. When seasoned correctly, most times I don’t even need to wash the pan after cooking. I just wipe it clean with paper towel. It’s beautiful! Love my Lodge cast iron 11” fry pan.
It certainly pays to have an AWESOME mother-in-law!! They come few and far between!! You are blessed!
@@Snell4889 I'm most intrigued by your marriage success story! Congratulations on 26 years .many times when all you have to start with is each other. You grow stronger.
There's always ups and downs but its righting things when they upset that counts.
We are 43 years next spring! And so many thought we'd never make it!
We might be a bit rusty but just like the cast iron all it takes is a little more seasoning😄
So glad your mom was willing to take a stance to be supportive! I'm certain it made a difference.
🎉 Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Here's to 26+🍷more‼️
@@HEBREWESS Thank you so much. If it be God's will,I hope we're together a long time.
You contribute so much in your friendly "it's so easy to do" style. Makes everyone want to jump up off the couch and get started. 😊...sign of a good teacher.
I'm a housekeeper. And this was amazing. Thank you for sharing this video. I've never heard of a rust eraser. The fact that you said at the end of your video that it will remove rust. On stainless steel appliances is awesome. Because I have a few clients that have rust on their Refrigerators. I don't know how I stumbled across your video, but I'm so glad I did.
Thank you so much.
My hubby inherited a lot of cast iron cookware from his Grandma who inherited from her Mother. Much of it is in the same condition of that rusted skillet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for giving me confidence that I may/can bring these items back to their former glory.
The pioneers used ashes.I think charcoal would work.Never tried that.
Wish i would of had one of them years ago. I found a very old square skillet at our cabin shortly after we bought it. It was in a old shed and it was rusty rusty rusty. I wasnt sure what to do with it at first. When we were having a burn pile going i laid the rusty pan in the fire and low and behold it burnt most of the rust off it. I managed to scrub the rest off by hand. Then reseasoned it. That was well over 20 years ago...I love good cast iron pans and Lodge is probably my favorite. I love that the skillets have a second handle for those of us who are getting older and weaker. Great video Stacy.
Wow, Doug buys you more cleaning supplies and watches you work for hours while he films you and eats brownies. Good job Doug.
Sshhhhh
Very funny
LOL !!
Doug works hours and hours, outside, running the farm.
@@reydeguerra2807 Fake news
You can also use damp used green tea bags. Rub them on the iron while it's hot and the rust draws right out
Well make a video,show us your magic. :)
@@patriciakirk5565 no magic to it really. Just heat up the griddle and take a wet tea bag and wipe all over the surface where you see rust. Comes right off and onto the tea bag
Good tip, thank you. The green tea bag makes sense, since green tea also pulls iron out of blood.
@@rootsoftheland9040 Dude... 👍🏾 it worked! 😃 I saw ur comment 3 or 4 days ago and I had to come back and let ya' know.
Thanks a MiL💸
@@HEBREWESS glad I could help. 😀
I am amazed how well that worked! I am using case iron from my grandma who was born in 1898, so this is a great way to keep everything rust free
1898 ???? That's truly awesome . I always wished I had things from my grandparents.
@@lindawilliams6012 I have quite a few things from my grandma Victoria. I have quilts she made, her china cabinet, and her china. My prized possession is a rose gold bracelet that HER mother got on her wedding day, and it’s been passed down through the generations since.
I also inherited my Granny’s (born 1880❤️)Old Griswold Cast Iron pots pans skillets and I cherish them ❤️
WOW! I got a rusted cast iron dutch oven with lid for Christmas that my grandmother found at the thrift store. I've been putting off cleaning it up but you just inspired me to get it done by showing how easy this eraser was! Never heard of the eraser, can't wait to work on my own project! Thanks Stacy!
Same I've had one sitting in my garage for years. It's pretty rusty, but here's hoping! Good luck with yours 👍
Bro, you got it made. Homesteading with space, nice wife, and skills to keep it all going. Much respect and admiration from SF
it was a dream 10 years ago....
I have a couple cast iron pans in our Barn, I got when my dad passed away. I'm one of 9 kids, and we grew up in the country, next to my grandparents Michigan farm. My dad worked hard to provide for us all, but always took us tent camping in late September, in upper Canada. Talk about brisk mornings!! My parents used those pans to cook both over an open fire and small camp stove, so they bring back great memories! I'm planning on ordering those rust erasers to try to get those pans back in working condition! Thank you for showing me how to save my memories!!
Just watched your video of you cleaning the rusty cast iron skillet with the rust eraser Doug bought for you. I didn't think it would work, but the pan looked great after you finished with it. Great job!! My husband, Steve and I love watching all of your videos - - especially finding good ones from years ago, like when you and Doug got together and made a video with Sarah and Kevin at Living Traditions Homestead! Take care and keep those videos coming!!!
Thanks for the valuable nugget! Been watching y'all for almost 4 years, then got my husband into watching you guys. We are actively looking for land to be more self sustainable, praying we'll find some soon, we're 55 and looking forward to some peace and quiet from the city.
I do the same thing my grandma did. Coat the inside and outside of the pan with oil/lard and place it upside down in the oven (hottest temp) for an hour with a pan underneath to catch the drips.
Works like a charm.
She also used to shove it directly into the wood stove when the flames were highest.
Yep!
Mine too and i have her cast iron skillets now . I had to share /split her set with the cousins. I wish I could have kept her dutch oven .
@@danwyrick322
Dang. I know it's not the same as having an heirloom, but check out antique stores and thrift stores for a dutch oven. You never know what you might find. 🙂
I've been looking at flee market's and thrift stores for years and the ones i have found were cracked and non repairable. And yes I know they can be welded. Grannies cast was from the 20s well used
@@danwyrick322
Thats a tad disappointing. It's best not to get cracked/broken bakeware. Even if you can mend it. It's not worth the risk in my opinion.
I also just thought of estate sales. Perhaps you could find something in good condition at one of those!?
I actually bought one of the erasers when I got my Lodge pan set 🤗 It does work great! It makes me sad thinking how I threw away a few cast iron pans in my younger years because I didn’t know how to care for them or that rust could be removed.
Yes so did I, just because there were a couple of small spots. I threw away about 3 or 4. I wonder what make they were too.
Same here 😕
It was hard to believe that the small eraser would work on rust. Lodge does it again! Thanks Doug and Stacy for all your hard work in everything you do! I do believe God is honored!
Love your shows, Doug & Stacy!💗
I use cast iron cookware all the time and I love it. I bought a couple of second-hand ones years ago and used steel wool to clean it.
I use stainless steel pots for making soups and stews.
WHAT?! How awesome is that?! I was shocked when you started rubbing and it just took the rust right off! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!
I am totally blown away with the results of that cast iron eraser Stacy. Thank you so much for airing this video.
Hi Doug and Stacy, I am a new subscriber on your homestead family. After watching your youtube. It reminded me when I was younger, How much I missed living on our farm. So now I am looking to find some land to maybe start my homestead. I am learning a lot from you both. and I am enjoying watching you both. God bless you both and I am looking forward of watching more from you both. You both rock.
I've used brass wire wheels that fits in a drill. Takes about 10 minutes and it also cleans off the burnt on grease and such. Finish it in the oven like you did a few time till it looks like it should. When you use a wire wheel it's best done outside or in a work shop--gets kind of dusty. Love your channel!
Great idea!
Using a wire wheel kills all the collecting value of the pan.
NEVER use brass or copper on cast iron. The soft brass/copper will embed itself on the surface and it will no longer accept seasoning. If you must use a wire wheel, use only a steel wheel.
Worst way to restore cast iron... Don't do this.
V- smart
Omg this is amazing! My jaw literally dropped when that rust started coming off so easily!!!! So cool! Thanks for sharing!
Whatever it is you and Doug are up to , I love watching you guys and listening to all of your experience and advice. Thanks so much.❤
Up to no good 😂👍
Oh, I love my cast iron. Makes me cry when I see any rust. Would love to have one of these erasers. Love off grid with Doug & Stacy. Love your farm. So envious!
Great! Next time I see one like that, on the cheap, because of the way it looks, I'm GETTING IT!
Wow! A product that actually works as advertised! Good job Stacy! Enjoy your restored pan.
You have so much patients. Delightful to watch.
I use cast iron and I would had lost money on that .. that was amazing. Got to get me one of them.ive got a couple of peices needs erase.. God speed.. ..love y'all's place it's beautiful..
Stacy thank you so much for this demo! I have lots of cast iron to restore and this helped a lot. I will purchase this and season my pans as well. Thanks again!!!
Straight up, no, I really didn't think there was anything that could make this task so simple. I'm from old school where you put it in the fire and then have to sand it. This was Awesome! Great move Doug! Thanks Stacey for sharing this little jewel. Be Blessed!
That is amazing!!! Such an easy way to make an old pan look brand new! Thank you for sharing!
That’s wonderful, as I need to do that with several old pans I bought at yard sales. Thank you, Willow
That is good to know! Thanks for showing that Stacy! I've had rust sometimes when I use my cast iron on a campfire and it rains while I'm cooking. Nice to know. I did NOT think it was going to work. I've had to scrub with steel wool to get the rust off my cast iron! That didn't look like it was going to do anything. Wow!
I was really doubtful it would work, especially without scratching the cast iron. Amazing! Good job, Doug!!
Love you !Doug and Stacey ,you are such an inspiration.to me !Look forward to see what your up to every week.Really love all your helpful teaching on fermenting , and gardening .God Bless!
If you season cast iron upside down also, you won't get any chipping of the coating along the inside
I just want to say that I absolutely love watching your vlog/channel. Your house is gorgeous and your homestead is impeccable. It gives me great childhood memories of visiting my Grandparents in KY. They had a 100 acre farm and we lived suburb of Indianapolis so it was always something to learn and have fun with... So, thank you very much for sharing and being so informative. I have a cast iron waiting to be operated on...:) God Bless
I’ve never heard of a rust eraser. Where did Doug buy it from? Great video. Thanks, Stacy! I love your informative videos. I’ve learned so much from you.
From what I gather, Lodge makes it, so I’ll be buying one.
I saw them at Target
Amazon sells everything
I remember being told as a child to never wash the cast iron pots. I still use some cast iron skillets, and season them but I will put a cloth over them when I'm finished to keep any dust off of them. The new cast iron eraser was impressive! I will have to look for them. Sure wish I knew about them earlier, would have saved me a lot of time on lots and the wood stove. Thanks for sharing, and keep the great tips coming!!
I just bought a set of Lodge pans and love them. Thanks for this video Stacy 👩🏻🌾❤️
That is freakin’ cool!! I wasn’t looking forward to restoring a skillet I have, but with the eraser, I could restore to my hearts’ content!! Enjoy your vlogs😊
All I can say is wow oh wow I ordered 2 of them after watching this video a little over a week ago..you guys this is an amazing product I've removed rust on everything I could find..oh my I'm ordering more..
Where did you order them from?
I ordered them directly from lodge 5.oo each came ups..amazing
They came just as they did to stacy ready to go I haven't found anything it didn't remove rust from I have 6 sons with lots of tools ordered them some too..
I love your videos reminds me of when we were first married and poor. Thank God it was the best time of our lives. If I could I would back to those days. Thanks for the memories and your excellent teaching experience you share with everyone we need more of these basic skills . God bless you both
Wow! I didn't think the little eraser would work that well. Thanks for sharing.
I have just fell in love with both of u. U are my favorite homesteaders by far. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Tracey!
I figured it would work since it was made by Lodge. I have always just used a steel wool pad. It works great for me. I season with coconut oil. Hoping to make some ghee one day soon. Shalom. 🙏🏻
Hello Autimuse.
@@barbarainalabama460 I'm new to cast iron cooking & was thinking about seasoning w/ coconut oil. I've heard it has a high burn point. Is this true?
I'm guessing it works well for u.
I generally use grapeseed oil to season my cast iron.
Stacy, you and Doug always give us such great information. Thank you.
THANK YOU DOUG AND STACY!!! I watched tons of videos on ways to clean cast iron in bad shape. This one I can actually do!! My son had a temporary lapse in thought and washed a skillet with the rest of our dishes and put it in the dish drainer to dry...it looks like that one did.
The rust eraser is something I didn't know about it did wonders
Thanks for that Stacy. We've been talking about getting some cast iron cookware. We hate the normal non-stick because it always starts peeling off. And then we start worrying about the health effects
I had my doubts that it would work, but am super impressed. I think of all the vinegar scrubs I've done to my family heirlooms, to get them back in good shape.... wish I'd had one of these back then! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I was skeptical but OMGOSH that rust eraser worked like magic!!
I will definitely be getting some of those cool gizmos 👍😉
Stay warm 💕🏡
My husband buys and sells old vintage knives. He's been using rust erasers for years on knives he needs to clean up some before reselling.
I'd love to buy a knife like that. I'll try to search for him!
@@StoneKathryn his ebay user I'd is doodlefroodle that's where he sells the majority of knives. You can google doodlefroodle and find him.
That’s pretty amazing 😉 I’ll be looking for the “magic eraser” for rust💖
www.lodgemfg.com/lodge-rust-eraser?sku=A-RUSTY1B
I have used these before and I love these sticks. I keep one at the sink and it cleans my regular cookware too.
Thank you so very much! Out here in the west, rusty cast iron pots and pans are fairly common at garage sales. We are now going on a buying binge this spring!!
That worked good.. I had my questions when you said what it was. I’ve always used vinegar and water. I love my cast iron. It is a very good nonstick surface if you use it and treat it right. Have a great day..!!
I have always used vinegar and water bath to soak off rust, then scrub with soap and water, rinse in the coldest water I have to prevent flash rust and into the oven to dry.
@@karenk7310 I always use really hot water to wash my cast iron and put it straight on to a hot burner and oil it
@@karenk7310, that's what I've always done too and if that didn't work I'd just strip it and re-season. I have stacks of cast iron that I need to strip and re-season. I went through some time that I was buying it from flea markets every chance I got. Now I have to do something with it.
Well I'm impressed. Also I think it would be even better if it was made in a round disk shape that could be attached to a drill. It would take less elbow grease and less time. But good job, it looks great.
Great idea for an invention!🤔Make some 💲
Yesssss! RA here is some days the joints in the fingers and wrist and elbows just can’t handle a little elbow grease to get jobs done . That would be an invention I would buy!!!👍🏻
Love this I have 3 small ones in the shed we got at a garage sale, now I know what to use to clean them. Thank you for all the great informative videos.
I was not totally sure it would work but it sure cleaned up the pan! I am glad you talked about seasoning and which oil to use! Thank you!
Have to admit I was skeptical that it would work. On the other hand, Lodge has proven itself to be a good brand and I don't think they'd put out an inferior product. This gives me renewed hope for one of my pans!
Bert Clayton yikes I would be afraid the strong chemicals would be absorbed by the iron.
Trouble with the new pans is. They do not smooth out the cooking surface. They need to be sanded smooth. Then seasoned. Then they are great!
Lodge in actuality my least favorite brand. I'm not saying it's bad, I have a couple of older Lodge pans that are great! I'm just more partial to Griswold, Wagner and BSR.
Charles Coker m
@@charlescoker7752 From Lil Giant Yes. I have to search garage sales because Lodge hassuch crummy texture.
OHHHHHH SOOO BEAUITFULLLLLL IMMMMMMM HEREEEEEEE
I thought it wouldn’t work as well as it did. Went to Amazon and I ordered me one! Thank you for sharing!
I didn’t even know that product existed so didn’t thing it would really work. But so much better on your fingers that steel wool. I love Lodge pans, so affordable, cooks evenly and lasts forever. Thanks for sharing this great demonstration. 🌸🌿
I'm more surprised you made the pan look great with a cool smile, i'm used to people trying to play the one and only super hero turn idiot.
Awesome Kitchen....
Never thought, saw, heard, or read about putting the pot in upside down. Makes sense. Thank you!
its not necessary that the pan be placed in an oven
after using your preferred method of derusting put what ever thick greasy foodsafe product you want in the pan wipe out the excess and place on stove eye and heat untill smoking remove allow to cool and repeat you can do it once or you can do it more it doesnt matter at all
I found an old rusted cast iron skillet in a shed outside. After seeing this I Immediately ordered this eraser. Can't wait to get it and clean up that skillet. I also want to clean my Lodge Dutch Oven that a friend let rust.
Lodge is a very trustworthy company in business manufacturing cast iron pans for over a century. When it comes to cast iron, they know what they are doing for their products.
Hi Stacy and Doug, Enjoy your videos and informative tips! Stacy, I had never heard of this rust eraser as well. I have a collection of cast iron skillets and love them even tho they are heavy.😊 I have seen cast iron skillets in bad shape, like the one you had and worst, but did not buy at garage sales because I could not image how to clean it! Great tips, keep them coming! Found your channel via watching 'The Fit Farmer ' , when Mike and Lacie visited your beautiful homestead. Stay blessed and safe! 🦋 9/14/20🦋
Welcome Barb!
Please place a link for the "Rust Eraser !!"" Thank you !
havent seen that product , but love the original magic erasers on walls, SS pots..ect I am jealous of your toasty warm home.
This eraser is awesome! Got the rust of in a blink of an eye! Thank you so much for the demo!!!
I've been restoring cast iron pans for many years. I use vinegar. It takes longer but there's absolutely no scrubbing.
Add baking soda to your vinegar , it will speed up the process.
I use vinegar as well, works very well.
Spin me a yarn ...how I’m all ears !
I was kinda skeptical but the proof is in the pudding! Good job you sold me on that method. Thanks for a great video.
@@JustinTyme1966 vinegar is an acid baking soda is a base it would foam up and then neutralize the vinegar
I put rusty cast iron in the self cleaning oven and set it on clean and in an hour it is done, just brush off the dust and season it.
I've heard about this method, never tried it. "Word on the street" is that it can smoke up your house if you try it with a really groady pan. True or false?? :)
@@comesahorseman not anymore than self cleaning the oven does. Turn on your overhead fan, and open a window...
@@comesahorseman It stinks a little even if there is nothing in the oven, I haven't noticed any extra stink with a cast iron pan...I mean I didn't put any with mud and algae in there, I did wash that off before I stuck it in the oven LOL
@@candidethirtythree4324: 😂. No, no, by "groady" I meant heavily rusted.
I went to the lodge cast iron sight,but couldn't find the erasers you used I find many things even on Amazon but not those erasers! Where can they be purchased?
I was skeptical that it would work without anything else… such a cool product! Thanks for sharing.
I must have some of those rust erasers ❣ What a great nugget ❣ Thanks for showing us how to season a cast iron pan . Your method is the best ! ! !
I found 5 coatings makes it so very non-stick.
No wonder mine never got to the 'non stick' phase. I always only did it once, lol.
I bought 5 pans last spring at antique stores & still haven't figured out how I was gonna clean them. Thanks so much for this!
LoveToRead3 you can also let the pan sit in vinegar water then sprinkle baking soda over it and scrub away. Then you can clean it off and do the seasoning process.
@@intentionallymade thank u!
Stacy-Just was amazed by this cast iron eraser. I have to admit that I was skeptical. We have several cast iron skillets and a cast iron dutch oven. Very good to know info! Thank you!
Thats amazing. I honestly did not think it would work on that rusty pan. Wow I am sold.
Thanks for letting us know about the eraser. Great way to remove that stubborn rust. A local flea market has several Lodge cast iron items I'd like for cheap but they are in the same shape as yours when you started. I'll get them and treat mine like that too. Do you think the kerosene lamp sitting above a working stove is a good idea? I don't know how hot that area gets but on the other hand should it get knocked over or something you could have a serious situation. I'd hate to see you lose that beautiful home or you guys get hurt.
My thought too
I was always taught to use lard to season my pans. I reseason them all once a year.
I've tried it all and lard is the absolute best! I have my first cast-iron waffle maker in the oven now! 👍 This one is the Log Cabin on. My Griswold is still in transit. . 😁
Bacon grease... Mmmm
Thank you very much! I learn to season iron dishes but it was around the time I got married in 1976 and I didn't do it anymore. I left the dishes at my mother's cousin home, and never again I went back there in Florida, as she died and the home was sold by her children. I was looking back to do it, as I had forgotten how to do it! My husband was a chef, and he was the one who taught me!
So wild how the ice rain leaves such perfect icicles- very pretty! Nice tip on cleaning the csat iron pans.
Lodge does have some interesting ideas for restoring cast iron. My larger project is our 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. She sat in an unheated camp on our family farm for THIRTY years! I asked to have it taken down to the house barn, where I could attempt to restore her. I used coke, olive oil, fine steel wool and did well with the outside. We brought the stove out to the side lawn and started a hot fire. She smelled like an Italian restaurant :-) However the oven walls are still rusty. I think your pan rust eraser would be too small. Not sure about a drill with a wire disk. Any suggestions? She graces out kitchen and is currently blazing away on this cold morning. A blast from the past!
Drill with the wire thing is how I saw it done as a kid by old folks. For something so large I'd say that's be fastest.
I'm curious as to what the eraser is made of. If it's natural or not.
Just happened along your video. Awesome! I do a lot of scrapping and have several skillets an 2 Dutch ovens I want to bring back to life. You're the best. Thanks!
You’re getting an arm workout Stacy and glad your ivy survived Doug’s box toss! 🤣
Thanks for the tidbit of info on how to clean rust from cast iron!
LOL! Immediately after you started rubbing the pan, I grabbed my phone exclaiming Holy s***! What is that?
Super helpful! Great tool to get a hold of. Where does the rusty water go from your kitchen sink in your system? Is it hard to keep a fuel supply of wood for your stove running all day? Does the cabin get too cold overnight after the stove is off a while? And would love to see the satisfying before and after on the pan!
I’m with you...I didn’t think it would work that well and that fast! Awesome! Love your channel! Nancy from Canada
I've never put it in the oven to season. I never knew to do that. Excellent information. Thank you.
Now she needs a scratch eraser for her countertop
Barb West yeah, I was cringing!
How rude. I cringe at your bad manners.
I was worried about the counter top too
@@flyn68 Shut up!
Cringe-worthy, why would you not do that in the garage?!
I can do the same thing in like ten to fifteen minutes, with my palm sander. And then it's smooth as glass, and literally non-stick.
Literally non stick? No, it doesn't work like that.
It doesn't matter how smooth you get the bottom concerning non-stick properties. What makes it non-stick is the seasoning. Polymerization is what makes it nonstick.
You're just being lazy and ruining your pans.
I was amazed. I didn't think it would work!! Awesome product, I need those in my kitchen.
Bought my 1st cast iron dutch oven, learning how to take care of myself. Thanks for your time and wisdom.
Trust God
Clean house
Help others
I rubbed on Crisco and it took off all the rust on all my cast iron. Then, I added rubbed on more Crisco and put it in the oven. No problem.
PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT THE CHICKEN FEET DOG TREATS.
Yes please!
On the way, maybe next week
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY yes!
This gives me hope, I have 4 rusty cast iron pans. I was going to get a wire wheel for the drill.
Thanks Stacy
Wow! I have never heard of this. I have lots of cast iron pans. Most were salvaged from garage sales. This makes cleaning the rust off much easier. I always bake my cornbread in a cast iron skillet.
