Tried soaking a rusty cast iron pan in vinegar for 24 hours instead of spending $30 on a new one
I was totally skeptical because everyone says vinegar ruins cast iron, but I did a 50/50 mix with water and scrubbed after and the rust came right off, has anyone else tried this on a pan that was way worse than mine?

Half vinegar half water for 8 hours has worked on three of my worst flea market pans.

@"keith943" when you say "three of my worst flea market pans," what kind of gunk were you dealing with? Like baked on carbon or just rust? I've tried the vinegar trick on some nasty cast iron but it never seemed to touch the thick black stuff, just the light rust. I'm curious if you let it sit the full 8 hours or if you scrubbed it partway through. Also, did the vinegar smell hang around after you rinsed it? I swear my last pan smelled like a salad for a week lol.
