I find 2 horsshoe's from 1700 and i decided to clean them.
First i get all the rust off with a little hammer.
Then the steelbrush .
And at last i put them in de fryingpan to get all the air and moisture out.
Its a lot of work. lol

How long do you cook them? What temp? Seasonings? lol but seriously...the heat turned 'em black and will stop the re-rusting?

I'm wondering if it's the hot oil that turns it black. Guys used to dip hot iron in oil to get that look.Originally Posted by OxShoeDrew link=topic=14004.msg147777#msg147777 date=1377037235
How long do you cook them? What temp? Seasonings? lol but seriouslyBy boiling it, I'm thinking it seeps into every pour of the iron and flushes out the water (and chlorides?) The oil is in deep and that probably retards rusting for a long time. I have to sneak my wife's deep fryer out lol
