Cleaning Campfire Soot
Jennifer Dawson asks: “I have camping cast iron but this trip had to take one from the kitchen, how do I get the campfire soot off?”
A Few Comments:
- I would say by any means necessary, you can’t really damage the iron…so a scrubbie or brillo pad and strong soap or cleaner. BUT Then you know you must rinse very well and re-season it…oil it and bake it in the oven.
- Dawn dish soap, then reseason. Also next time, coat the outside bottom and sides with bar soap-the soot washes off rather easily.
- If it’s black like charcoal black, I found SOS pads work the best. (Steel wool with a super soap cleaner in them) just on the outside or you’ll need to reseason
- If your oven has a self cleaning mode then you can put it upside down on the top rack and run it through. I did this with My mother’s iron skillets and it worked great. Do forget to reseason!
- Before you cook on coals, coat the pot/pan bottom and sides with soap. Dawn will do. leave it on there for the duration- soot wipes right off upon washing. Leaves no trace of soot..
- Just wipe it down with some salt and bakingsoda mix and rinse. you should be good. Then, pop it in the oven with a thin cost of crisco until it isn’t shiny any more. I never use dish soap on cast. I have some that are over 100 years old and that’s how they get clean after a camp fire.
- On the outside, steel wool and soap, on the inside, I’d suggest not using soap, inside of the pot. instead a rough grain salt, like you would use to clean a cutting board… cutting boards and cast iron trap soap, and it can give you a really bad tummy ache after a while.
- Never tried the soap, have to tryit! Tho never really had an issue with soot as i cook over a section of nice hot coals. The flame from 1/2 burnt wood is your problem. Sandy dirt really helps clean up greasy or cooked on foods. Soda & salt are a must have. I keep a mix of that in an old parm shaker @camp side & in a pretty glass Parm shaker @my sink!
