Lye Tank Setup is a video where I set up a small version of a lye tank to strip a Birmingham Stove and Range Century Series Blue Ribbon Muffin Pan. This video is a scaled down version of a lye tank set up in order to show the concept, materiel and ratios for the process for those who plan to set up a lye tank. #lyetank #castiron #bsr

Thank you for this video! I've inherited my grandmothers cast iron dutch oven, over 100 years old, and looks it! lol It has the legs on it for setting on coals. I've been watching videos on cleaning and wasn't happy with the vinegar, or electrolysis method. I watched your Easy Off oven cleaner method and was going to go for that, until you mentioned the lye bath. Now, I know what method I'll use! I'm all for the KISS method, aka Keep It Simple Stupid. With the amount of crud on this dutch oven, I'll most likely leave it in the lye bath a week or so. I'll wait for the weather to warm up so I can put it on the back deck, letting the sun warm the water up first. God Bless You!

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

Yes, the library at is much more simple than the easy off in the bag method. You just drop it in and forget it until time to finish it off. Good luck with the project.

Cast Iron Cookware - auto corrected ...... it's supposed to be lye bath, not library at. autocorrect can be such a pain sometimes

Thank you for the tutorial. I plan on using this soon. But I do have a comment to your video. When measuring for only one gallon you measured 3.5 fluid oz of lye. You should have measured on a weight scale 3.5 oz.

Yep, my great grandmother in the 1920s and 39s would soak her pans in lye. I didn't know what that entailed so that is why I am watching your video. Thank you for putting out this video. I have seen pans so thickly encrusted that is would take years of soaking in lye.

@castIroncookware 2 года назад

If the weather is warm, it usually only takes about 2 weeks for the worst crusted pans. Temperature does play a huge part when using lye.

HI Steve, Thanks so much for all the informative videos , I have always liked cast Iron cookware but have just started seriously collecting it recently and find your vids exceptionally helpful. I am from Canada so we don't see so many of your maker brands up here , I never even heard of BSR , (smile) we have a lot of Lodge ,some Wagner and the odd Griswald but we have our own Canadian Manufacturers brands that make it interesting up here . Thanks Again from a Canadian Collector

Will a lye bath remove rust? Thank you for the recipe.

@turdferguson5300 2 года назад

If you have a paint mixer for your drill it works great for adding laundry booster to the e-tank and if the lye tank is deep enough to not splash out it would work for mixing lye. Most drills are variable speed so go easy on the lye.

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

It is basically the same as drain cleaner. You can pour down the drain without any issues.

@enadajang 4 года назад

Cast Iron Cookware thank you!

@peregrinar6760 4 года назад

Thanks for another great info video. I tried the oven cleaner method on four of my pans with minimal success, even though I did the process twice. I'm thinking this lye bath method will be easier and more economical. Will it work on heavely crudded pans? Thanks God bless.

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

The main two elements are time and temperature. Even the worst pieces will come clean as long as it is not too cold given enough time.

Just sat up a 10 gallon lye bath to clean my # 9 Griswold iron mountain series Dutch oven in my basement locking lid container. I wear a mask during the process so as not to breath it as I am stirring the lye into the water.

@littleartsbbqoutdoorcookin8426 2 года назад

It’s starting to get cold is it safe to have a small Lye bath inside? Thanks for the video well done

@castIroncookware 2 года назад

You can but you will need ventilation during getting the solution mixed. That is when the majority of the fumes are produces.

@mikeduffer6858 4 года назад

Steven Hi! What do you think of heating your lye tank in the winter? Maybe a heating pad only to 70 or so?

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

I have heard of people doing that with success.

@elmpero6483 3 года назад

Can you use a lye bath on a piece that has residual rust on it? (We already scrubbed with water and vinegar but couldn't get rid of it all.)

@castIroncookware 3 года назад

Lye will only remove organics. It may be just staining. If so, you can go ahead and start the seasoning process.

@cwharton85 4 года назад

How many items can be put into the Lye bath together?

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

As many as will fit and be submerged.

@dishyp2870 4 года назад

Stephen, I want to have a dedicated string, wire coat hanger, etc., for each pan in my lye tank. Is it OK to use regular household string or wire coat hangers for that or will they be damaged or disintegrated by the lye? I know you can't use anything aluminum because that will disintegrate. I really don't want to "go fishing" with a wire coat hanger afterwards and just hope that I can successfully grab everything in the tank, since I imagine the liquid will be dark and not easy to see through. Also while I'm asking, I have the same question about etanks. What is the best thing to use to hang pans in an etank for the same reason? Thanks!

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

Just about anything will work for the lye tank. I have used copper electrical wire that still has the coating on it. Most heavier gauge string will work as well. On my electrolysis tank, I usually use stainless steel all-thread. I use 1/4 inch and then the end of it at a 45 degree angle so that I can have a nut or two along with the washer.

@rhughes1795 4 года назад

To fish things out of my lye bath I use rubber gloves and do it by hand.

I know you said 100% sodium hydroxide but having a hard time finding it during the lockdown. Would 99% sodium hydroxide with 1% inert ingredients still work, or stick with the 100%

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

That will work. I just do not know what the inert ingredient is. Amazon also has %100. Here is an affiliate link: amzn.to/2ytMBLE

@papaw5405 4 года назад

Please let your viewers know that they shouldn't use a painted container or try to clean painted cast iron in a lye solution. Lye is used as a paint stripper. Another note, if you can get hold of a stainless steel or glass container that's big enough and have a source of heat, you can heat your solution and get the desired results in hours instead of days.

@castIroncookware 4 года назад

A warm lye bath does indeed work much faster than one at room temperature and yes lye will strip everything organic. Including paint.

@papaw5405 4 года назад

@@castIroncookware I'm not talking warm, I'm talking boiling. We used to clean lead from inside gun barrels and oil, crud and rust from other parts in a boiling vat of water and caustic soda. An hour or less stripped them down to bare metal.
