The amount of damage will determine how hard you have to scrub, but in general just do what it takes to get rid of the rust and then rinse away the soap. It doesn’t matter if this is step one or step two for you (i.e., your pan just emerged from a vinegar soak)-either way, the cast iron experts at Lodge recommend you grab some dish detergent and steel wool, and start scrubbing your pan in warm soapy water.
(Note: You definitely don’t want your pan soaking in the stuff for more than a couple of hours.) Step 2: Scrub If the condition of your pan calls for a vinegar soak, simply fill a sink or a bucket with a solution of equal parts distilled white vinegar and warm water and submerge the pan in it check on the pan frequently and remove it from the solution as soon as you notice the rust can be easily banished with gentle abrasion. That said, the pros at Southern Cast Iron tell us that vinegar is remarkably good at breaking up surface rust and minimizing the amount of elbow grease you have to put into the job. Vinegar is pretty hard on cast iron-if you leave your pan soaking too long in the stuff, you’ll have bigger problems than rust. Before you get started, assess the damage: If the amount of rust on your cast iron pan is minimal you should skip this vinegar soak step entirely.
