Yeah that would not be good. A good respirator would keep it out your lungs. But it needs to be done outdoors so none the particals have a chance to stay airborn inside. Also wear coveralls that can be taken off outside and go straight in and shower.
If you dont want to look like granpa jones go to a contractors supply and buy a environment suit. [Reply]
I was thinking about how I went about this (2 years ago) and yeah, I think it also involved an angle grinder.
I tried to leave the seasoning on the sides which was next to impossible with the odd angles and the bottom slope. I guess I could have pulled out the dremel tool and cleaned up the sides, but Meh.
Here is my ugly but baby bottom smooth cast iron pan. I tried to show the reflection in the bottom, not sure how it will turn out on a crappy cell phone
I don't know, its a huge pain in the azz. I would end up selling you my pan and starting over. Have you tried ebay for an older pan? I just don't want CP drama if something doesn't work out. It's not that I wouldn't, just hesitant as hell. [Reply]

I use my Cabellas Dutch Oven more than I use any of her stuff and it works great. Otherwise I just use my cheapie Lodge skillet and have never had a complaint.
Spending a bunch of money on Cast Iron cookware is dumb - it's strength is in its simplicity. That's like spending $100 on a flathead screwdriver because it has ivory inlays in the handle or something.
I bought a cast iron grill weight for steaks a couple of months ago and I get that and the cast iron grates on my gas grill blue-hot and sear that shit off like a mofo. It makes EXCELLENT steaks. [Reply]
Skillet and keto diet.... I have a cabinet full of pots and pans, we use the skillet.... I did catch it on fire once... might have been bacon drunk [Reply]
