Scored a ‘no-brand’, cast iron, griddle, at Goodwill, yesterday, for about $5.

Cleaned up pretty well, without having to strip it.


I like that it’s slightly larger (1/2” wider; 1-1/2” longer) than the smaller, Lodge brand griddle, which doesn’t quite cover the burners on my stove.

(Photo is with burner grates removed for cleaning).

Picked up a CI pan I wanted to clean: remove surface rust, remove sharp casting edges, etc.

One, small piece, so I tried the ‘oven-cleaner-in-a-bag’ method of stripping.




Kind of a mess to spray with the can held vertically, inside the trash bag, the fumes, etc.

It worked, but not as fast, or as well, as the lye tank. I assume because the pan is submerged in the lye tank, and the oven cleaner can run off?

Anyway, the lye tank takes a little longer to set up (and can do multiple pans), but is less work overall, due to less residual scrubbing.

Finished pan, after 3 coats with Crisbee Puck.
