Clean it with 000 steel wool , wash it in mild detergent soap dish soap ,, rinse again with hot water use a stiff bristle brush then thoroughly dry and treat with Crisco or cooking oil but it's soaked into the pores of the steel. Paul.
When we were kids my mom would throw the skillet on a fire in the back yard while we were burning stuff, making sure there were coals in the skillet. After the fire died down we would pull it out and let it cool. Then wash it, rub it down with oil and bake it in a low oven for several hours. It' worked to get rust and burnt on food and buildup on the out side as well. Kind of extreme but if you live in the country it will work well.
