Well I was house bound yesterday due to a shitload of ice from Friday night. I started to cook some stuf in my cast iron 3 inch deep pan. Pulled it out and looked at the bottom inside and remembered this thread. I went out to the garage and worked on it to clean it up and possibly polish it if needed. I used an abrasive wheel and removed the 100+ years of layered seasoning. It had gotten to the point everything got stuck on it. I cleaned it all the way down to the base metal and I found it was very polished and smooth when the damaged seasoning was removed. I have been using it and starting to season it again and it is cooking great. I did not take off the exterior seasoning so it did not lose its caractor. It has brought my great grandmothers cast iron back to its glory. Have a Dutch oven that will get cleaned up when I have time...

Thanks for the idea......
