It will convert the rust although I have deep reasoning why I go a different step although the fire does work. Years ago in a study for a science class, we researched the subject of (Transferring Energy) which also included Thermal Processing. Many steel and iron companies use "Thermal Processing" for certain metals also know as blackening. Rust is merely the oxidation of metal, an as IRON oxidizes, it goes from FeO to Fe203 (red rust). Some metal companies promote oxidizing to then turn red rust into "BLACK RUST" through this Thermal Process. The red oxide (Fe2O3) which is then converting the surface of the metal to magnetite (Fe3O4) (black oxide). Manufactures often call this "Good Rust." As it too protects metals. They can also do this through a bath for iron, steel, copper, zinc and other metals. Additionally, there is a cold process as well. However, while fire will help convert the iron to black oxide in addition to destroying any toxin bacteria, it does not remove or clean the item of any unknown material (chemical) which may at one time been places or used in the cookware. Therefore, I select to wash ever item with the vinegar bath merely ensuring, it has removed any such unknowns. Nevertheless, straight open flames will work although, it still requires seasoning of oil that will create the protective finish and make a better cooking surface. So, my conclusion is not to state one way is better than another, but they way I have been doing it ensures it has been cleaned from rust, clean from any contaminates, and then treated to prevent future rusting. Like the phrase goes, "There is more than one way to skin a cat" the same holds true about ways for cleaning and seasoning cast iron cookware. cowboysandchuckwagoncookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874118941778139191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294583146418243340.post-81230521698095460002013-04-20T18:50:30.671-05:002013-04-20T18:50:30.671-05:00Many years ago, my Mother-in-law found a large cas...Many years ago, my Mother-in-law found a large cast iron skillet in the trash at a camp site. It was very crusty. Looked to be no good. I could see why some one discarded it, but we layed it in the camp fire. It crackled and popped all evening. In the morning we retrieved it and it looked brand new. Just a little seasoning and it was good to go.Ron Clantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183287601762494424noreply@blogger.com
