Vintage 12" x 19" cast iron roasting pan after scrubbing and drying. |
Last night my husband brought home quite a lovely surprise compliments of our good friends the Linton's. It seems Mike discovered a bit of treasure he thought I might appreciate and indeed I do! I have a better than average collection of cast iron cook wear but had never seen a cast iron roasting pan, and it is a dandy! Measuring 12" x 19" and 3 1/4" deep. I can see 2-3 hens sitting pretty atop a bed of root vegetables, a beautiful ham, and a turkey, standing rib roast etc. in it's future!
The first step in it's new life with us was to scrub away the debris with a brush, coarse salt, and hot water. I lined my white porcelain sinks with towels as not to beat them up in the process.
After preheating my oven to 200 degrees F. I placed the damp roasting pan in the oven and set the timer for 40 minutes to ensure it was well dried before seasoning. I often dry my cast iron by placing it on the gas burner of my store a few minutes to ensure it is really dry. JUST DO NOT WALK AWAY IF YOU DO THIS!

Clean, dried, and seasoned, ready to go for years more service. |
Upon removing from the warm oven I seasoned well with vegetable oil and wiped well with paper towels. She is ready to go! Thank you again to the Linton's.
