The Restoration Journey: From Vintage to Vigor! Bringing this gently used vintage Griswold cornbread pan back to life was a meticulous, multi-step process, ensuring it's not just clean, but truly restored to optimal baking condition, ready for decades more of use. Lye Bath (Deep Cleaning): We began by immersing the pan in a carefully prepared Lye Bath, utilizing approximately 1M (Molar) Sodium Hydroxide.

This powerful yet safe solution meticulously dissolved decades of baked-on carbon, polymerized oils, and old seasoning, revealing the pristine bare cast iron beneath without harsh scrubbing. Hydrolysis (Rust Removal): Following the deep clean, the pan underwent Hydrolysis, an advanced electrolysis process. By applying approximately 10 Amperes (A) of controlled current, we effectively and safely removed any traces of rust, preserving the pan's original casting marks and smooth surface without abrasive methods.

Triple Oven Seasoning (Flaxseed Oil): Once perfectly clean and rust-free, the pan received a Triple Oven Seasoning. We applied thin, even coats of high-quality Flaxseed Oil, renowned for creating a durable and naturally non-stick finish. Each coat was meticulously baked upside down in the oven at precise temperatures, allowing the oil to polymerize into a robust, beautiful seasoning layer, making your restored cast iron ready for immediate use.
