Vintage Le Crueset restoration 

I thought the bottom was made black! Incredible!!👏👏👏 Thank you!

oven cleaner came in clutch. you're a genius.

If you have a much bigger pan, you can submerge the pan to be cleaned in oil and "cook it" in Safflower or Peanut Oil at 480F and 430F respectively and it'll just eat that crud right off. Note that the crud that comes off the pan does change the smoke point of the oil. If doing this in your oven, have a quick check every 5 minutes or so.

Thank you. I did this yesterday and it is so much better. I need to work out how to do the handle (and not any any on the inside) and it might need another go over, but it is SO much better for so little effort.

Great job and a good garage sale find.

Wow! This video is great. Thank you for this straight forward solution

Brilliant - I clean oven shelves and cast iron stuff the same way but I put everything into the shower, and work there, keeps it simple and safe :)

This was very informative! About how long did you leave the EASY OFF on to soak? What about the inside? Was the inside okay?? And Josh, I love that you don’t add unnecessary music! Great video! Thanks so much.

Well done Josh and thanks

Excellent! And Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You are amazing 😻 so grateful

Omg that is some good asmr right there 🙌🏼✌🏻❤️

Nicely done. Ty for the video

Soak overnight in a garbage bag . Put the plastic container, pan, and fill with ammonia. It comes off much easier. I clean my oven racks this way. Do it outdoors if possible.

Very nice!!!! This is exactly what I was spooking for!!! I have an enamel cast iron Paul Deen skillet that I can’t get the outside clean on!!! Giving this a try right away!

I wish I had watched this first - I’ve just spent an hour with wire wool !

Thank you so much for this information

Preheating the pan would make it easier.

Magic Eraser is great too.

I would like to know the name of the cleaner .Thanks.

It's beautiful but now you'd need to season the exposed cast iron.

Hey thank you for this video what kind of srubing tool was it that you used?

One can use an old credit card to scrape off.

And the inside? Where the food is actually cooked? Presumably the lid has been lost.

clearly this pan didn't have a lot of stuff on it if you can remove it that easy. Didn't really need a whole video on how to spray oven cleaner on something. On to the next video!

I'd have prefered to see you employ a sodium hydroxide (aka caustic soda = dangerous stuff) bath in place of the toxic oven cleaner - but any cookware restro is wonderful.

One glove?

An SOS pad would take that hard stuff off corners real fast.
