It got placed in the sink (by one of my sons) and water collected on one end resulting in some rust forming. This came preseasoned; what do I do with it or about the rust? Love using this---we use it constantly. I have the cast iron griddle that fits across two burners on my stove; my first piece of cast iron.

Full of so much info. Seasoning does take some time...so be patient. It could take months, depending on how often you use it. Cooking with high fat food for a while at the beginning can help speed up the process. Maybe use it for bacon for a while and it will greatly improve the results. This site is great.

Becase it was a litle rusty, I let it sit with oven cleaner for about 8 hrs, then washed it a couple of times with Palmolive dish soap. The areas that are not dark grey now have an antique gold look to it. Is it ok to season it now or does it still have oven cleaner in the pores? Each time I dried it after washing, I dried it with paper towel and it seemed to come out clean. Any help would be greatly apprecited.

As for your gas range I think the best thing is to check with the retailer on this one. We aren't experts on gas ranges.

I had a great time reading the posts at your blog. And yes the enameled cast iron is a popular alternative to the regular cast iron. Its easier to clean, doesn't require seasoning and doesn't react with acidic type foods like tomatoes. It also looks a lot nicer than the basic cast iron cookware. Still the purists among us would probably say that you can't beat the bare cast iron but it's all about preference. Thanks for visiting Katie. I had a great time reading the posts at your blog.
