When you whipped off your oven mitts to reveal gloved hands underneath, you earned my subscription.

I wish someone would just find me lying around and then restored me like that

I have a small cast iron pan I've had in my life since I was abouth two years old. I'm 29 now, and the seasoning on it from three decades of oil and stuff is indestructible. I've made chili in it, heavy on tomatoes and acidic stuff, and it's even seen the dishwasher. Still it's just and black and well broken in as ever with zero rust. The thing just does not care. My friends ask me why I take a five pound pan hiking and camping but at this point it's like an old friend. Even fell out of my pack once hundreds of feet down a mountainside, it still didn't care.

"What are you baking in the oven?" "Pan." "Pancakes? I thought..." "No, THE pan."

My wife yelled at me and said if your so intrested in watching dishes being washed go to the kitchen and do it yourself ....

The bike: pick me, pick me!! The dude: dang, look at this rusty old pan. I like him.

Such a scary pan, it gives me the crêpes

I’m skeptical about you “finding” the pan. I suspect you fought an old grandma and stole her heirloom pan.

"And that was how all the DNA was accidentally removed from the discarded murder weapon, your honor" 😬

This video should be used to teach chemistry. I could totally see an instructor pausing the video and saying..."Now class, please write out the reaction that is occurring to eliminate the Iron oxide. So awesome! Thank you so much for doing this.

The part where the flipped the oven gloves off only to see you're still wearing normal gloves is so funny to me, i keep repeating it 😂

An interesting note, hydrogen burns with a pale blue flame, almost invisible in the daylight, while chlorine burns with a yellow flame. It looks like the flame has a heavy chlorine influence. [3:30] The initial flame starts with blue color and then switches to yellow.

Dude gonna pull out a half gallon of jelly like we’re not about to talk about it?

I like how he was still wearing the black gloves while cooking AND spreading the jam and stuff haha

0:15 When mom throws out something that i'm sentimental of Edit: This is just a metaphor

Now when I realize that you're Finnish I understand why your vids are silent 😁😉 /a swede who loves it!

Friend : what kind of asmr do you listen to? Me: it’s complicated 😬

The fact that I haven’t seen him rinse this thing off yet stresses me out 😂

And suddenly this video turned into a cooking show. Haha 😂 even had eating sound.. Khaaaop

Its really nice to see that you seasoned the pan after cleaning. Not many people know to season a full cast iron pan thats not enamel or otherwise coated. Beautiful job!

See you all in 5 years when this is recommended again

I WISH YOU WOULD SHOW THE PART WHERE YOU RINSE IT WITH WATER WHEN IT'S LIKE REALLY DIRTY AFTER THE PRODUCTS

"Honey, the hobo is back dumpsterdiving again"

I love this channel so much. It's educational and entertaining. I am still surprised by how much humor he puts into his restorations.

“It can also be fun, not just dangerous”, they say, as they light that shit on fire.

So you'll wash a frying pan for a couple of days but you won't whip your own cream?

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

This is the best example of 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'

"Hydrogen is highly explosive" *literally uses a lighter to burst hydrogen bubbles*

The electrolytic reaction is quite complex. There are several reactions taking place at the voltage you dials in there (7.3 volts, which is quite overkill and may lead to many adverse side reactions; but who cares - it's an old pan :). The main reaction you are wanting to take place is the full reaction below (which is only an estimated guess, since many different iron oxide reactions can occur): 1) 4 Fe(0) + 6 O2 --> 2 Fe2O3 More specifically, in the electrolysis of iron and iron oxide: 2) 4 Fe(0) + 3 O2 + 2 H2O --> 4 Fe(III)O(OH) (bubbly red film in your water)... which decomposes slowly to Fe2O3 (red iron oxide, rust) when dehydrated. Now, it important to note which electrode the anode and cathode in a galvanic/electrochemical cell (batteries), which discharges spontaneously, verses an electrolytic cell, where the cell is "charging" using an external potential. Hence, in either case, the cathode is defined as the electrode electrons are flowing in and the anode is where the electrons are flowing out. Therefore, reduction always happens at the cathode. In a galvanic cell, the red "positive" electrode is the cathode (electrons flow in) and the black "negative" electrode is the anode (electrons flow out). In an electrolytic cell, the red electrode becomes "negative" (-) at is considered the anode (electrons flow out), and the black "positive" (+) is considered the cathode (electrons flow in). You'll notice the flow of electrons is opposite for each these two types of cells. This becomes easier to understand when thinking about how a battery operates. Batteries store charge and when they are used they "discharge" spontaneously (definition of a galvanic/electrochemical cell). However, when driving an unfavorable chemical reaction (turning rust back to iron), the cell is essentially being "charged" back up, which requires a reverse in electron flow using an external power source. This change of current flow reverses which electrode becomes the cathode and which becomes the anode by definition. This is the reason why you see the rusted pan plugged into the "negative" terminal, because it needs to be the cathode in order to reduce iron oxide back to iron (make electrons flow INto iron). (The red (+) electrode is considered the anode in this electrolytic cell set up). **Thank you @OddTinkering, for correcting my mix up. This is a good reminder for me :) The two half reactions at each electrode are: Anode side (positive, red terminal): 4 Fe(0) (normal iron) -> 4 Fe(III) +12 e (electrons are produced to head to the cathode) Cathode side (negative, black terminal): 2 Fe2O3 + 12e- (electrons pushed from anode oxidation) --> 4 Fe(0) (pure iron) + 3 O2 (another explosive gas you were seeing) Now, there is another main reaction happening at that high voltage you set, the electrolysis of water. This extra voltage (potential) is being fed into the water molecules as well and breaking them apart, as shown below: 3) 2 H2O --> 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) The two half reactions are (general equation): Anode: H2O -> O2 + 2 H+ (acidic protons) + 4 e-. (these electrons head to the cathode, black terminal side) Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> H2 (g) + 2 OH Overall reaction: 2 H2O --> 2 H+ + 2(OH)-. This is a general equation for neutral pH. However, it is known that autoionization occurs spontaneously, and can be induced by the electric field around the anode or cathode causing separate reactions to take place. Additionally, it is know that there are several different electrolysis reactions that can take place, depending if the water solution is basic (has excess hydroxide ions) or acidic (excess hydronium ions). The one given above is a combination approximation of the two. Acidic half reactions: Anode: 2 H2O -> O2 (g) + 4 H+ + 4 e-. Cathode: 4 H+ + 4e- --> 2 H2 (g) Basic half reactions: Anode: 4 OH- -> O2 (g) + 2 H2O + 4 e-. Cathode: 2 H2O + 4 e- -> 2 OH + 2 H2 (g) If you add both of these acid and basic half reactions you get the general equation given above. However, regardless of the chemical route taken, the result is hydrogen is produced at the cathode while oxygen is produced at the anode. Hence, producing the exciting explosive fireballs, which everyone should have fun with in small amounts! (Small amounts for safety). The purpose of adding sodium chloride (table salt) is to increase conductivity to allow the flow of electrons and ions through the solution. It does not participate in the chemical reaction, only flow of current (unless the electrolyte you are using is susceptible to electrolysis at the voltage specified; however, inorganic electrolytes are generally very robust depending on anode and cathode reactions). Only very minimal amounts of NaCl (table salt) are electrolyzed into sodium metal (which reacts with water into sodium hydroxide, which would make your water basic (you should do a pH paper test before and after, it would be interesting. However, the result may not be conclusive since both FeO(OH) and NaOH will lead to basic water. FeO(OH) is slightly soluble in basic conditions). I may have gotten carried away, but I hope you enjoyed learning a little about some electrochemistry! :)

I love to see things restored... too many wonderful items are just discarded for no good reason.

From trash to treasure and YOU DID IT !!! I enjoyed watching your knowledge transform it.

Instant pancake mix?? After all that, you use a just-add-water instant pancake mix?!?!?!???

Legend has it: he is still wearing gloves.

"This is cast Iron pan used to make crèpes..." *cofused French screaming

Love this. I have some of my grandmothers cast iron from the early 1900's. Nothing cooks as well.

Did I just spend 10 minutes watching someone wash the dishes?

As a cook, i strongly love this video! The fact that someone would throw such a good piece of equipment out is beyond me! Cast irons are lovely but a big responsibility ❤️❤️

another process of getting rid of rusts. seen other channels uses sandblaster but this guy uses his patience and full effort.

He whipped them oven mitts off like a true pro 💪🏾

Preparing food with black latex gloves for the win!

Plättar!!! That's what we call the small pancakes that you can make with this cast iron pan in Sweden!

Thank you for saving this pan, it belonged to my great grandmother. She killed my great grandfather with it in his sleep and my family has been looking for it since then.

WAY more intense than the average cast iron restoration lol! You know when electricity is involved....it's SERIOUS!

i have one like this,i live in Norway and this pan is part of a Scandinavian culture..this iron pan is very heavy.. and when i say " heavy" i mean really HEAVY... you don`t need a gun or a baseball bat to protect your house, one iron pan like this and one hit in the right place and the thief is dead like stone... the old house wives used to kill their unfaithfull husbands with an iron pan like this.. so ladies... if you have something in mind don`t use an Ikea pan.. buy one like this.. it works ! :-) )))

one of the many highlights of this video was finding out that cast iron pans have pores

9:30 “huh, the pans already seasoned, I wonder what else he could be doing with that- oh he’s making the little crepes I see.”

I’ve gotten atleast 4 of my cast iron pans this way gotta love when people throw away gold like this!

You had me hooked at the flailing legs in the dumpster!!!

Kids in my chemistry class; ‘we’re never gonna use that’. This guy right here proving them all wrong

I got a cast iron pan from someone's garbage once too. A little scrub scrub, some seasoning and boom! We've been using it for years, great pan. I look for cast iron regularly at 2nd hand shops and yard sales!

Add "ASMR" at the end of the title and you'll get twice as much views

I love that everyone is just critical of his cooking skills in the comments

Wow him flapping the gloves off was life changing!

Looks like the husband never got beat on the head by that skillet

This was so interesting to watch. How could anyone let such a beautiful cast iron pan go to pot! You did a great job. I love castiron cookware.

I instantly noticed from the scenery that it's Finland. Torille!

My aunt had a quote on the wall " I love hard work I could watch it all day long. " 😲

That cleaned up great, thank you for saving it and posting.

I love 💘 the old cast iron pans they're so awesome to me . Almost like a piece of art , I'm so glad you restored it

Apart from restoration skills, recording and concept of shooting these videos are appreciable

He protec He attac But most importantly... He will make you a snac

The plate with the letters behind each crepe moved me to subscribe 😂

This guy has a wonderful energy! videos are off the chain!!! Great work 💯💯💯

I have ice tea spoons made by this company....it was my mother's stainless from the 50s. Quality stuff.

That transition from the dumpster back to the workshop was godly

there's so much chaos in the world. I'm stressed. so I'm watching a guy clean an old pancake pan it brings me peace.

This man out here, looking for stuff to restore lol

This man has a simple life : Clean, record, upload, get money. Repeat

I just realized I'm halfway through a 12 minute video about someone washing dishes. . . . . . *facepalm*

This was funtabulous! Once I found an old wok - wasn't as bad with rust oxidation - but I tried to tell people the pan could be re-seasoned. I haven't gotten it fully restored, but watching this helped. Thanx.

I like how he wore the black work gloves as he was eating

That was such a turn on when he just flicked his oven mittens off. 😩 7:45

Ohh mini Crépes 😍 very good restoration, was very interesting to watch with these techniques 👌

Always learn something from watching you work.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙂🙂🙂👍🏼🎄

Who else thinks that this guy might be V from the Vendetta movie? He cooks with his black gloves and loves antiques. Aaaand, wait for it.....,you don't get to see his face!!😂😂😂😉

You’re the only person I know that can make 10 minutes of cleaning a pan fun

Dude's like - OH HEY HYDROGEN CAN BE LETHAL BC IT EXPLODES but he also lights a fire in the solution for the sake of cool shots.

i like that you can tell he has fun

This man is Finnish and knows how to take care of cast iron. Most Americans would wash all the seasoning away.

i just subscribed because i was hoping for him to actually use the pan to make crepes AND HE DID

To all my Witcher 3 fans “FOUND THE PAN HAVE YE??”

I'm a simple french. I see Les Crèpes, I -upvote- like the video.

Looks brand new again! Might I suggest using a microfiber cloth instead of the paper towel so you don't get pieces of towel in your seasoning.

Gense is founded in my hometown. It warms the heart a bit extra to se this pan being rescued!

Nothing like crepes made with the same gloves which just scrubbed a rusty pan.

I remember watching this Vid when he released it, nothing like a good ol' rewatch

Competent chef, skilled electrician, handyman, pretty good gamer... If you suddenly busted out a trombone solo on a restored trombone I would not be surprised.

Dumpster diving with my Pa growing up was always the best we’d find so many awesome things

As someone who was never taught how to season a skillet i really appreciate you adding that in there! :)

I loved that! But mostly love the scoffing noise at the end 🤣

These pans last forever if taken care of. It's def worth more than the other junk there. I've actually went scavenging and found old 1930s light fixtures and took them and repaired them. Some still worked fine without repair. These pans last forever so it baffles me someone would throw them away.

Ooouu the way you flipped your oven mitts off....so impressive 😂😂

Looks like I'm gonna spend the COVID-19 global quarantine restoring my cast iron skillet

Pork fat in a tube is the most Swedish thing I've ever seen. Love it

Styx "Too Much Time On My Hands". Well done!

Me: How did I get here 😳 Also Me: Wow, that’s cool 🤩

7:27 "Honey, why is the oven running?" "I'm just baking a pan" "A pan of what?" ...

Legend has it, dude is STILL wearing those black gloves...

Nice job! This is a traditional Swedish mini pancake pan, called "Plättjärn". I would tweak that pancake recipe though, replacing the water with milk, eggs and some melted butter.
