You’re going to go to cast iron hell for this
That’s enamel. It’ll survive once or twice.
Not before I take this steel wool scour pad to a fully seasoned Field Company cast iron skillet that was soaked OVERNIGHT in vinegar water and then complain how dirty it was.
My Mother in Law literally did this. She ultimately bought me a new one.
The nice thing about cast iron is, even if you fuck up the pan pretty good, you can always re-season it and it’s good to go.
Hell, even a the shittiest, oldest, rustiest cast iron pan is fine. Sand off the rust, and re-season!
It just wasn’t the same honestly. There were channels cut into the side after she cleaned it that I always got food stuck in that spot. I would have had to sand it down to get rid of it.
Yep a vinegar bath can pit the metal, it’s why vinegar isn’t used to strip them.
Joshua Weissman recommends doing a 50% water and 50% white vinegar bath. https://youtu.be/PDTCgxvmShc
I still need to redesign mine after years of slight abuse…
It just shouldn’t have a crack in it.
Might even be a bit better after the sanding depending on the amount of post processing done by the manufacturer.
Cast iron should be buried in the garden where it can decompose naturally.
