Trying a new CI seasoning method

At estate sales, if the item sits flat and is not cracked, but with awful gunk, buy it. Fixable.

Thank you, I'm going to try this method. I have some old CI and carbon steel pans I've picked up here and there. @OakSmoke kindly offered some time ago to do them, and I never sent as I wanted to do myself. Found a manual charger, but I'm terrified of electricity. Some years ago, I sent 360 joules through my own elbow while defibrillating a patient. I wasn't touching her, but the ambulance guys behind me saw it arc from her belly to my elbow. Thankfully they also caught me when I flew about four feet backward. My arm ached for a week. So, I'm needing a little foray to the shops tomorrow, will pick up the oven cleaner while I'm out. Will report back with photos. I guess I'll also need Crisco....

One of our medics zapped a guinea pig once when defibrillating a patient - didn't notice it cowering next to him. Can't believe it survived....

It makes a big difference when the jolt goes through patient first! I think that's how I survived.
