LodgeCast Iron Rust Eraser - 1 Each

This rust-removing block is a game-changer for cast iron. It effectively tackles surface rust without harming your pan's seasoning, provided you use it carefully. I've used it on everything from minor blemishes to more stubborn rust spots, and it consistently clears them up quickly with minimal pressure. Think of it as a precise, satisfying "eraser" for your skillet.What truly sets this block apart is its simplicity and mess-free application. A few scrubs, a quick rinse, and a little re-seasoning, and your pans will look almost new. Plus, it's incredibly durable; I've used it on several pans and Dutch ovens, and it's still going strong.If you own cast iron cookware, especially Lodge, this inexpensive tool is a smart investment. It saves time, protects your cookware, and is far easier to use than abrasive steel wool or wire brushes. I highly recommend it!

Amazing little tool and it works great to remove rust spots. This is fairly soft and it works like an eraser. I keep it very handy and I’m super happy with my purchase. I have used this on my cast-iron pans as well as my outdoor flat top griddle.

Works really well on minor rust area of my cast iron skillet and my Brookstone grill top. Wears out pretty fast if you use it a lot of course.

This cast iron rust eraser worked wonders! I had a few skillets and a black stone griddle with surface rust, and this took it off quickly without damaging the metal. It’s easy to use, and the results were immediate—smooth, clean surfaces ready for seasoning. A must-have.

I don't know why this works. I don't. It feels like rubber and I'm seeing little specs of metal mixed within it, but...IT WORKS. BUY THIS NOW.I had a 14 inch cast iron pan that my mother accidentally ruined years ago (read: like 5ish years) and I was about to throw it away during a new year clean out, but then I decided to "fix it" as a hobby. I tried the potato and salt method, soaking in vinegar, scrubbing with a steel wool and dish detergent and salt and....just, so many different methods and practices. So many. They would helped a little, but there was still rust, over and over and over.So I thought, as a last ditch effort, to pick this up. It was inexpensive and by a reputable brand that is incredibly well known. If I were to purchase another cast iron pan, I could use it for that if I needed to. I started scrubbing the edges and interior of my pan and...it was working. It was removing the rust that I had consistently been unable to remove by the tons of other methods. I didn't require a cleaner (at least not initially), or salt, or vinegar. Just the power of this bar and a small bit of elbow grease. After I shook out the rust dust, I washed it with a little bit of Dawn and a sponge with a nylon scrubber on one of the sides. I then seasoned it (450F for 60 minutes, then just turn the oven off and let the pan cool down in there). It is perfect. There's still some discoloration, BUT the rust is GONE. VANISHED. ELIMINATED. This is pure Witchcraft, no other excuse. lol

We had a Lodge reversible grill/griddle used once with only the factory seasoning that did not get cleaned/dried properly and was rusted in every crevice, particularly on the ridged grill side. It sat this way for years because I just didn't want to deal with it. The time however had come. My son gave me a new set of cast iron pans that I planned to season properly, so it was time to tackle the griddle plate.With a reasonable $10 I bought this eraser stick in hopes of minimizing what I knew was going to be an annoying time wasting process. I embarked on the task and had this bizarre feeling overcome me. It was working and it was fun. Yeah, FUN. I felt I was back in 1st grade or something, erasing away the rust as I had done with those pink erasers back in the day. It is the exact same process. IT WAS AWESOME. It still took some time. There were all these wee crevices and so much rust. What worked best was to cut off smaller chunks of the eraser to better get into those little grooves. I just took a utility knife and cut it to size.If only I had taken a before picture of the grill plate, but as you can see from the after seasoning picture, it was completely effective at rust removal and only ended up using about 1/4 or less of the eraser.

I tried this out as soon as I got it. I searched. YouTube for video demos and found one. I followed his directions and found it works best on very light rust (called ‘flash rust’) and not so well on moderately or heavily rusted surfaces. It’s similar to an eraser in that it leaves behind gritty stuff you’ll need to sipe out before using the pan. I dumped out what I could and wiped out the rest with a paper towel with avocado oil on it. After I got it all out, I heated the pan to try to re-season it and it was nicely black again. This product is most suited to small projects without a lot of surface area. It takes a little elbow grease but it’s not hard to use. It wears down pretty quickly with use so you’ll want to do small areas at a time.

This here works amazing on our Blackstone and cast iron skillets. Wouldn’t have thought this little thing would work but it’s worth every penny!
