My cast iron skillet burned last night & now half of the black is gone. How do I get the black back?
I've been having some problems with the cast iron skillets lately. When I cook with water in them, the water turns black. I do know how to clean them properly and do every time. I noticed that the pan that got burned is rusty where there is no black coating. Most of the coating got burned off the bottom and the rest is flaky. How do I restore my pan to it's former beauty?
re "season" it. simply wipe with a paper towel dipped in veg. oil. much like greasing a baking pan. then heat (until it smokes) and allow to cool. repeat if you want. eventually it will re season. also the oil will prevent the rust. just using the pan to cook will cause it to re season the best. just put a little oil on it each time you use it.
btw cast iron pans do not have a "coating" on them (ie teflon etc) this is seasoning or just plain old used residue. you should not "scrub" a cast iron pan with steel wool or cleanser or any other harsh abrasive. if you have a very stubborn "stain" (like say some burned on food) just use easy off oven cleaner on it. do not scrub the heck out of it.

Top Reasons Why Cast Iron Patio Furniture Might Be The Best Choice
You finally have a wonderful patio set up in your backyard and the only thing you need now is a set of patio furniture. But what style should you choose? There are many styles available including everything from fabric and wood, PVC frames with vinyl seats, and even cast iron patio furniture. Below are but a few reasons why cast iron patio furniture might be the best choice for your patio.
Sense of Style
A set of cast iron patio furniture instantly gives a sense of class and sophistication to your patio area. They come in a multitude of colors, including rust-red, gold, silver, hunter-green, and of course the classic black. Also, the intricate designs of flowers, plants, or other garden features carved out of the cast iron will definitely add another conversation piece to your garden party.
Versatility
Of course, cast iron patio furniture is known to compliment every fashion trend in patio covers and cushion that you can throw at it. Just about any color and any type of material that one can bring to the patio can be incorporated into the theme with a good set of cast iron patio furniture.
Ease of Care
Unlike many sets of patio furniture, which require a lot of labor intensive maintenance to keep their show-room beauty, cast iron patio furniture requires very little care. Usually a quick wipe down with a damp cloth or a quick dusting with a rag is all that is needed to keep the furniture looking wonderful. In fact, the cushions on the wrought iron chairs will probably require more care than any of the pieces of cast iron.
Quality Construction
Many sets of patio furniture today are mass produced in such a way that sometimes the quality of the construction is suspect. With a set of cast iron patio furniture, however, the construction is sure to be solid and of quality work. A piece of furniture that is based upon welds and iron can most certainly stand up to the rigors of outdoor life better than one based on plastic and screws.
As you can plainly see, there are a number of reasons why cast iron patio furniture might just be the best choice to liven up your brand new patio space. Because of its classic styling, quality construction, and ease of maintenance, this type of patio furniture can become a welcome addition to your garden party.
