Rust - What Now?

I've stripped 60+ years of crud off an old McLary using Easy Off. I rinsed it then soaked it in 1:1 vinegar and water. I dried it then put it in the oven to make sure it was good and dry. Now there's a fine layer of rust ALL OVER the whole pan. What do I do now?

It's flash rust. No big deal. Mildly scrub the rust off and rinse with cold water. Dry and season.

Thank much!

The "About Seasoning" section of "Cast Iron Restoration" in this site has some good information about 'flash rusting' that seems to be what you are experiencing.

Good luck
