How do I remove layers of rust from an old cast iron skillet quickly without hours of scrubbing?

Use a brillo pad with out the soap. Just go over it once or twice. Then coat it with crisco inside and out. Once you have done this you can place it in an open fire. For example: an outdoor open fire pit or even just a small brush pile. Allow the crisco to burn off completely. Repeat this until you are satisfied with the pan. I does work. Just be patient.How do I remove layers of rust from an old cast iron skillet quickly without hours of scrubbing?

Wear thick rubber gloves, the kind for chemical spills. Using a brush, apply naval jelly, a pink gel which you can get at hardware or home improvement stores.





You should be able to easily scrub off the residue, and have a cast iron skillet rustless.





You do know rust is good for your blood, don't you? It has iron! Maybe you're better off just cooking with it. The chemical residue may be worse than the rust. Check with your doc. Besides, the by product might contaminate the grey water.
I sometimes use salt and a plastic scrubber or even dish cloth or sponge. Be sure to wet the skillet with water and have to keep the salt moist while scrubbing.
Take it in and get it sand blasted take 1or 2 minutes.
Every once in a while an iron skillet needs to be put in a fire. For example, if camping, and can build a good fire, set it in there. It will burn off all the crud. I wouldn't use a chemical to clean it, as it might soak up into the skillet. The fire thing is what my grandmother recommended and it does work. (granted if you have a fireplace, or are able to build a fire and make smores....) Smiles.
