My First Time Using a Lye Bath to Restore Cast Iron

This was my first time using a lye bath to strip decades of built-up grime and seasoning off cast iron pans. I’ve restored a few pieces before with elbow grease and vinegar, but this method was on a whole new level — and wow, it worked.

In this video, I walk you through the entire process step-by-step: setting up the lye bath, what safety precautions to take, how long to soak your pans, and what to expect when you pull them out. If you're into vintage cast iron restoration or just picked up a rusty skillet at a garage sale, this is a method worth trying.

👀 What I Restored:
A vintage Griswold muffin pan
An unmarked griddle
A popover pan with serious buildup

I’m not an expert — just someone learning as I go and sharing what works. Hopefully, this gives you the confidence to try it for yourself!
