Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to keep these updated with fixes and additional information as necessary. Our existing FAQ is okay, but it's no longer maintained so I'd like to get one that can be edited and also that's easier to point people to specific answered questions.
ETANK CAST IRON SERIES
Hey Everyone - this is part of series of informational posts I'm going to attempt to make to start building out a new FAQ. As always, this is a living document and can/should be updated with new information, so let us know if you see anything you disagree with! Original FAQ post here: We'll try to repost the FAQ every 6 months or so to continue any discussion if there is any. Since reddit archives posts older than 6 months, there's no way for users to comment on the FAQ any longer. This is a repost of one of our FAQ posts. Some other subreddits you might find interesting:

ETANK CAST IRON MOD
Individual exceptions to rule 4 may be made if mod approval is acquired in advance. Dealer link drops (posting items for sale without approval).Blogspam, linkbait and sites with excessive advertising.Posts that contain no commentary, or are substantially low value may be removed at moderator discretion.ĭo not use the subreddit to advertise your site or sell products. If you post food, give us the recipe, or at least a story on what happened as a comment in the post. Posts must contain more than just a picture. Rule 3 - Minimal Effort/Post Completeness When posting or commenting, please avoid: Off-topic posts and comments, including political comments will be removed. Rule 2 - Topical Discourse /r/castiron is meant to be a friendly community for discussing cast iron cookware, and that includes recipes, cleaning, care, identification, and other subjects directly relating to cast iron cookware. Do not make comments designed solely to alienate, disrespect or insult other users.Ĭomments that violate this rule will be removed at the moderator’s discretion. Avoid overt hostility and intentionally antagonizing others. Again, this method works better in summer.Rule 1 - Civil Discourse /r/castiron values respectful discourse between redditors. Simply coat your item in Easy-Off (well-ventilated area and wear eye protection and gloves) and then place in a plastic bag. If you do not want a lye tank, you can use the garbage bag-Easy Off method. If it’s winter, I highly recommend buying a large aquarium heater, available at most pet supply stores.
If it’s summer time, that is ideal as lye works better in warm conditions. Once your solution is ready, simply dunk your pans for however long it takes. Always add lye to the water and not the other way around! The ratio of lye to water is typically 5 gallons of water to 1 pound of lye. Ace Hardware is also good, though you may have to ask at the counter.
Sometimes the employees may not know where it is. You can find this at Lowe’s on the Plumbing Aisle (not with the regular household cleaners.) For Lowe’s, It’s Roebic brand in a black bottle, 2lbs. To purchase lye, you want 100% lye crystals. Go as small as you can for the size of piece you need to do. Label your tote all around with “Corrosive/Toxic” and “Lye/Sodium Hydroxide.” You want to use something that will hold 5-10 gallons, with about 6-12″ at the top for a small-to-medium size tank. Safety First! When working with lye, ensure you have nitrile gloves or the like, eye protection, and long-sleeved adequate clothing and pants, and regular, covered shoes.įor your lye tank, buy a Rubbermaid or equivalent tote with a locking lid to keep the pets, critters, and young ones out. One method involves lye (sodium hydroxide) or Yellow-Cap Easy-Off oven cleaner. So how do we clean up that gunky old cast iron flea market find?
