Good luck!
Scrub with damp sponge & salt. If a little more stubborn, lemon & salt. If really bad, plain steel wool & salt.
Rinse
Dry
Cover on all sides with shortening, oil, or grease
Preheat oven to 350
Place a large pan to catch drips
Place pot upside down in the oven for one hour
Turn off oven
Remove when completely cooled
Remove all the rust: Use fine steel wool to remove rust from affected areas. Scour the skillet until the area returns to raw cast iron. Wash the skillet thoroughly: Wash the cast iron with warm water and mild dish soap. Scrub with bristle brush, gentle scouring pad, or mesh sponge if needed.
