I have what seems like a ton of cast iron pieces. All from lodge, well all except a 5 qt enameled DO. They are all stored appropriately (ie not touching and not in a humid environment). They are all a deep black, but a couple of pieces have “blemishes” for lack of a better term. They’re still non stick and function just fine but the blemishes are annoying and I don’t want it to ruin the pan years down the road. I have tried using a salt and vinegar scrub. No bueno. Then got my kettle roaring hot and just took all of the seasoning off, then reseasoning. Once again it still looks blemished. And it’s just on the inside of the pan, no the outside.
The following is my standard operating procedure on cleaning for clarification: once cool enough to handle with bare hands, they get scraped with a plastic scraper. Then with a coarse bristle brush, scrubbed under warm water. Once visually clean, I turn the water to cold for a rinse. Immediately dry with a towel or paper towel. Then onto the stove where I heat it under meds heat until the handle is almost too hot to handle. I spray with a light coat of canola oil and use a dedicated cloth to evenly coat the pan. I then store upside down on stove until cool.
They don’t picture well so I won’t post a picture. I really don’t know how to describe it. Any help would be nice!
