Our Cast Iron Restoration Process
Curious about our cast iron restoration process? Here are some details:
Cleaning and stripping of old seasoning, rust, and build-up are done using a combination of electrolysis, a lye bath, and a vinegar bath. These methods are safe and will not damage cast iron.
Every item is then thoroughly washed with mild dish soap and water prior to seasoning.
Your cast iron cookware will undergo 2-4 rounds of seasoning in the oven with either organic grapeseed oil or BuzzyWaxx products. Some items may require more seasoning than others. Not all finished products will look identical due to the age and condition of each item.
We NEVER use power tools, self-cleaning ovens, or fire to clean pans. These methods are harmful and can permanently damage cast iron cookware.
Disclaimer
*Cleaning rust and thick crud from cast iron cookware can sometimes reveal issues like scratches, cracks, staining, pitting, and warping.
*If an issue is discovered during the cleaning process, we will contact you to discuss the severity of the defect and whether or not you wish to continue with the restoration process.
*If the restoration is stopped, you will not be charged. If you choose to continue restoration, all charges will be payable upon completion.
*You will be notified once the restoration of your item is complete. Payment is expected within 30 days of notification of completion. Completed items will not be shipped until payment is received in full.
*Items not paid for or picked up locally after 30 days from notice of completion will be subject to a late fee of $10 per week. Any item left over 60 days will be considered abandoned and may be sold to recoup restoration and storage costs.
