What happens here

With the cast iron cookware arranged inside the oven, activate the oven's self-cleaning cycle. The presenter recommends turning on the overhead fan or microwave vent to mitigate the strong, burnt odor that will be emitted as the old seasoning and rust are incinerated. Self-cleaning ovens typically reach temperatures above 800°F (427°C). If you do not have a self-cleaning oven, you can set a regular oven to its highest temperature (e.g., 500-550°F / 260-288°C) and leave the cookware inside for 4 to 6 hours. This process will turn all accumulated residue into a white ash.

Goal: Initiate the oven's self-cleaning cycle to burn off all existing rust, seasoning, and grime from the cast iron cookware.
