Prepare Cookware for Oven Cleaning

is we're gonna put it in our oven on the cleaning cycle now we get over a thousand no not a thousand over 800 degrees here in the oven and what that's gonna do is take this is the crustiest one uh it's probably the best one too but it's gonna take all that nasty crust and crud off of there okay this is like flaky i've already pre-warmed these pans so what you want to do i preheated my oven to about 170 degrees and these pans have been sitting in there that's why i have to hold them with a glove right here but we've got three of these pans this one looks like grandma's old cornbread pan and it's been used a lot this one and all these are it looks like they're american made there are a few makers marks on here i think there's a five back there on the back and you can see a little more this is probably the one that's in the best condition it's got the most rust on it and this one is just plumb nasty and it's probably a well-seasoned pan already you can't even see the makers mark on the bottom so we're going to give you guys the before and after on all three of these little pans the thing about cast iron cookware is you can go out and you can buy this is a lodge brand lodge right there you can go buy new cast iron cookware but it takes quite some time to get the surface inside the pan slick okay so when you buy a brand new cast iron piece of cookware the bottom is rough and it takes years to season that pan okay what we're gonna do is buy old stuff for way way cheaper so i paid basically 40 bucks for this pot and all three of those little skillets and those little skillets are perfect for cooking a pound of cornbread i'm gonna keep one for myself i'm giving one to my mom and one to my sister so let's get busy we'll show you exactly what we're gonna do to bake off all the old crust and then we're going to season them so you've gone to the flea market or you've gone to the antique shop and you've picked yourself up three cast iron skillets you can get all sorts of different sizes you can probably pick them up for 5 to 10 bucks versus 20 to 30 bucks in the store for a brand new one these are better in my opinion although there aren't a lot of businesses still making cast iron cookware so what we're going to do we do not want to do this this is one big no no we don't want to stack all three of them on top of each other and stick them in there we want to separate them evenly inside the oven i've got the oven right now preheated to 550. i'm going to slide these guys…
