If scrubbing hasn't helped, you can move up to using a fairly light

sand paper and/or steel wool. If this doesn't work, you might want

to consider soaking the piece, covered with oven cleaner, in a plastic

bag for a week. If, after a good washing, the buildup is still there, you can try again

or you can give it a lye bath.

One can of lye in about 3 gallons of water. (USE EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES!

READ THE LYE MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS!)

Using, for example, a plastic tub with a tight fitting lid. (WallyWorld, Dollar Stores, ETC)

hang the skillet from the side of the tub with a metal coat hanger. This makes it easy to get out without sticking your hands in the "soup". You can leave the skillet in the soup for

an almost indefinite period of time. But try 4 or 5 days to start. If it still has crud on it.

put it back in to soak for another few days. When it's clean, it will have no crud and will

have a gray color to it. You will now have to re-season the skillet.

Fire up your oven to 450 or 500 degrees. Let it get good and hot. Wait 10 minutes after

the light goes off (or whatever the oven does to let you know it's up to temp)

Give the pot a light coating of cooking oil or Crisco, inside and out. Get all the little nooks and crannies too! (I use Crisco. It's recommended more often than oil)

Place the skillet upside down in the oven over a cookie sheet or sheet of foil to

catch any drips which may come out of the inside of the skillet.

Bake for one hour. Turn off the oven. Let it and the skillet cool on their own. Your skillet should now be nicely seasoned and blackened. If you're not happy yet, you can repeat the

process most any number of times.

Keep the skillet lightly oiled. It should serve you well for many years!
