Restoring Cast Iron Pan Found from Dumpster

I found this cast iron skillet from a dumpster and decided to restore it. It's very rusty and it's missing a handle so I need to make a new handle. Funnily enough it was the same dumpster I found the previous cast iron pan too.
I started by cleaning all the burn stuff that was loose of first. It will be much nicer to laser clean when I don't have to burn those off with the laser. Next Iaser cleaned the pan. More info about the devices you can find from: laser.w2m.fi/laser-cleaning/?...
Next I sterilized the pan with isopropyl alcohol. Laser cleaning should clean everything off but since the cast surface is porous and there might be residues of motor oil or some other unhealthy oils fro mthe dumpster I decided to do this anyways.
I drilled a hole to make the handle removable. The pan is so heavy I didn't want to friction fit, especially since I will be heating and cooling it over and over again. Friction fitted handly would probably get loose really fast. I added a ciountersunk hole to make the screw sit flush with the cast iron for nicer look.
Now the pan was ready to be seasoned. I used canola oil and did 5 coats. I wiped the pan with liberal amoubt of oil and then wiped off any excess oil. Nexi it was put into the oven for an hour to burn on each coat. I had my oven se to 230 degrees celcius.
I took a piece of ash wood. It's actually "leftover" piece from my previous project where I made base for the air compressor. I lathed teh handle round first and then used a special technique to turn the other end of the handle oval. I off centered the other end of teh piece while turning. The other end stayed round. Oval handle is much more ergonomic, which is why hammers etc have oval handles too. The finished handle was treated with linseed oil and attached to teh pan with a screw.

Safety tip: If you see a random cast iron pan, don't know it's history, and want to clean it for yourself, you should always do a lead test on the surface of the pan. Some people use cast iron pans to melt lead for some hobby things.

I had a friend of mine that worked at a steel factory that recycled steel and other metals. He brought me two cast iron skillets that were just minutes from being melted. I cleaned them up and we still use them 25 years later. Wish I had a laser to do the cleaning. All I had was a wire brush for my drill. It took a couple of hours to clean two small skillets. Awesome job.

I have a couple of critiques. First, although the laser is a good way to clean up the rust, you may want to follow up by sandblasting it to remove all of the etched marks it will make for a more uniform surface. Secondly when your seasoning the pan, you should always put it in the oven upside down. You do not want oil pooling in the bottom of the pan. The whole purpose is polymerization and when you have too much oil pulling in one area it doesn't polymerize into a non-stick surface it becomes very sticky and tar-like. Also you need to make sure that the temperature is reaching at least 450° Fahrenheit. Other than that an interesting video.

Once it's cooled down, hand scrub the inside with a coating of oil, let it sit for a few minutes, and then hand wash it with hot water and a high quality soap that removes grease and dirt. Scrub rinse the pan, then its ready to cook again.

Yes, I would cook with this pan. Cleaned up and seasoned, it's fine. I have done similar in the past, but I used oven cleaner and some emery cloth. Hard to believe anything nasty could have survived the laser cleaning. Still a cleaning with isopropyl alcohol couldn't hurt. Good job.

Nah, you put it in the oven at a temperature lower than the flash point of the oil. Most cooking oils state the flash point on the label.

When I season I use Crisco and wonder since you used a cooking oil would that be preferred. I always take care of my cast iron as my mother taught me.

@@blueismylove3128 basically when drilling metal you want to make chips (or flakes) ... If you are making dust then your bit is spinning to fast which causes a lot of heat to build up - when a drill bit gets hot it looses it's temper and gets dull AND when the metal you are drilling into gets hot it can actually starts to work harden a little which means it's gets harder as you drill. Your ideal when going through metal is to make those nice spring shaped spiral chips you'll see on some machining channels.

The laser is really cool, but I feel like sandblasting would do a better job. You can see laser marks all over it. Would running the laser over it perpendicular to the initial run help mitigate that? Also, if it were me, I would have installed a metal handle so it can be oven safe. Regardless of what I think, it's still pretty awesome and came out beautifully.

My thoughts exactly! One of the appeals of a cast iron skillet is using it to sear it on the range, then finish cooking in the oven. Wood handle prevents that. And people worried about germs... The skillet was cooked for 5 hours in a several hundred Celsius oven. There's nothing left, no matter if you use laser or sandblasting. Heck, even the isopropanol step was superfluous...
