Swallowing a daily dose of fish oil may stop young people vulnerable to schizophrenia from ever developing the condition, a landmark study has found.
An international psychiatry conference in Melbourne will be told that omega-3 fatty acids, believed to be beneficial for conditions from heart disease to ADHD, could also help delay or prevent the onset of severe mental illness.
The findings could offer a safe way to treat a crippling condition and potentially prevent schizophrenia, without the drastic side-effects of anti-psychotic medications, say experts from the Orygen Research Centre in Melbourne.
"This is an amazing result in a natural product that really puts it out as a serious treatment for people seen most likely to develop psychotic illness," said lead researcher Professor Paul Amminger.
"It performed even better than the traditional medications in this particularly vulnerable group so this really shouldn't be overlooked."
The researchers enlisted 81 'high risk' young people aged 13 to 24 who had previously suffered brief hallucinations or delusions.
Typically, if left untreated one-third of these individuals will go on to develop a sustained psychotic disorder.
Half were treated with capsules of fish oil, a rich source of omega-3 fats for three months, while the rest took a fishy-tasting dummy substitute.
One year on, three per cent of those who had taken fish oil supplements had developed schizophrenia. This compared with 28 per cent of those who had swallowed the placebo.
Previous studies have suggested that anti-psychotic drugs when used early in illness reduce the rate to about 12 per cent. However, their use is controversial as they have severe side-effects like heavy weight gain and increased risk of heart disease.
"What we have here, it seems, is a very good and non-invasive alternative that could be safely used on at-risk people where only a proportion were ever going to develop the condition," said Prof Amminger, who will present the findings at the World Psychiatry Association (WPA) Conference.
Researchers are now planning a larger, multi-centre trial in a bid to replicate the findings.
Orygen director Professor Patrick McGorry said the findings hold out great hope for young people and their families.
"This unique study shows that, just like in cancer and heart disease, early diagnosis is the key to safer and more effective treatments at lower cost and with less disruption to peoples' lives and future potential," Prof McGorry said.
Omega-3 oils have been touted as a possible treatment for a range of conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, rheumatism, heart disease and cancer.
They have also been found to improve concentration and learning in children with ADHD and autism, and reduce aggression among prisoners.

November 25, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin says he's appealing a decision by the Federal Emergency Management Administration denying individual assistance to West Virginians who suffered property losses during a fierce windstorm June 29.
The governor said he appealed FEMA's Aug. 8 determination on Tuesday.
The late June derecho and subsequent storms left three people dead and more than 680,000 customers without electricity across the state. FEMA approved the state's request for federal assistance to help governments pay for public damages, but denied Tomblin's request for aid for individuals.
Tomblin said damages from the severe weather were concentrated in four counties: Fayette, Kanawha, Nicholas and Raleigh. They accounted for 42 percent of the homes destroyed in the storm.

I have been struggling with a recipe for a hoppy pale ale partial mash and have come up with the below and a, hoping someone can critique. I love my IPAs and Pales but I need something in the 4-5% abv range.
Anyone care to comment?
Pre-Boil Volume: 7gal
Batch Volume: 5.5 gal
Eff: 72%
Est OG 1.044
Est FG 1.010
Est ABV 4.4%
IBUs 33.5
3lbs Light DME 40%
2.5lbs US 2-Row 33.3%
1lbs Rye Malt 13.3%
12 oz Carapils 10%
4oz Special B 3.3%
1.2 oz Centennial 60 min 10%AA
1 oz Cascade 5.5% Whirlpool 5.5%
1 oz Citra 12% Whirlpool 5.5%
1 oz Cascade 5.5% Dry Hop 7 days
1 oz Citra 12% Dry Hop 7 days
1 oz Centennial 10% Dry Hop 7 Days
1 pkg US-05
Mash 7.5qt at 157.2* 60 mins
Mash Out 168* 10 mins
Any thoughts?
I really like the look of it, but never having used that much rye malt - in terms of percentage of the grist -, I'm not sure how it'll come through in a session beer. The hop profile will certainly be present and forward. Lots of NW hops.
Are you mashing that high to make up for the low OG? I'd think that the Carapils should help with that. Personally, I'd mash a bit lower but I like my beers a touch drier. Personal preference.
In all, I think that it looks really good and would like to know how it turns out. I'm brewing with rye more often and like it a lot.
I'd jack up the late hops if I were doing it. Maybe get some Nelson Sauvin in the mix. Rye might make it into my next hoppy session beer so let me know how it turns out for you.
Hmm I didn't put much thought to the mash temp, this is the first recipe I've used in Beersmith2 so I just used the default Mash settings. What do you think 152* or 154*?
As for the rye the research I did it seemed rye was a good idea to help balance out the mouthfeel and body with the lack of malt. I picked a percentage out of the air and loosely based it on a few similar recipes here on HBT.
As for the NZ hops, I am not familiar with them, what kind of character are we talking about here? Aroma? Dry Hop?
Thanks for the help guys.

Bengals enjoy relaxing on-the-field bye week in New Jersey
RUTHERFORD, NJ - As the rest of the NFL played on the final Sunday of the NFL season, the Cincinnati Bengals gathered on the field at the Meadowlands for a relaxing bye week. The team suited up in their full uniforms and spent the day taking it easy.
"A lot of teams spend their bye weeks goofing off, spending time with their families, that kind of stuff," explained Bengal wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. "We decided to spend this time together, as a team, just chillin' and doing nothing. It was very relaxing."
As the AFC North Champions head into the playoffs, many analysts wonder if perhaps the week could have been better spent. Coach Marvin Lewis disagrees, pointing out that he knows what is best for his squad. "These guys are pretty much spent," said Coach Lewis. "Having an organized practice or intense workout would have just looked embarrassing. It was definitely for the best that we all got together and just did nothing."
Although most of the time was spent relaxing, there was some time devoted to football. The offensive squad would occasionally wander onto the field to take a few relaxed snaps before getting back to their relaxation. "We tried to limit to three snaps at a time before getting more rest." said Carson Palmer. "It was quite refreshing. By the fourth quarter we all felt bad for those poor suckers in the green uniforms. They didn't seem to understand the importance of rest and rejuvenation.
The defense would also take the occasional formation, and at one point considered building a makeshift hammock on the Meadowlands 50 yard line. "That might have been a nice comfy place to take a nap," said Leon Hall. "But who wants to work that hard to put together a hammock on your day off?"

If stores would just sell this slightly imperfect food, I'd buy it, but they don't. They toss it. We recover it. And more than 100 different families in need benefit from it each week. By the way, this is an emergency food pantry so most clients visit just a total of 4 times--there are new families in need all the time in our country and in my city and yours as they lose their jobs, face medical emergencies, and otherwise find themselves in a place they never imagined being. Because of this food pantry's efforts with food recovery from David and others, the on-site garden and other gardens' donations, and the tons of pantry and frozen food it purchases at 16 cents per pound from the Atlanta Community Food Bank, the inevitability of hunger in my city has been literally eradicated.
So, two Wednesdays ago, a man said to Kathy and Mary Louise, the other food pantry co-leader, "If anyone needs help, I have a van." The earth almost stopped in stunned silence. We had been asking, praying, searching for someone with a van for months now as David's car is overflowing and he had been wanting to approach the most bountiful market of all--Costco--but simply couldn't accommodate the quantity they must have without a van.
I love Costco--I even featured it years ago as a Pattie P ick on one of my other blogs (and I was actually just about to write to the editor of its excellent member magazine to see if I could write a monthly column about its many organic items--see photo collage below for a small sample of the products I found there recently). (FYI, I already interviewed the CEO of Ecos and wrote an article about that company here ). I've been a member there for years. I shop there monthly and get a whole slew of organic staples there--rice and quinoa and frozen green beans and coffee--and I loved the idea of being able to shout it out about their involvement in this effort. I didn't expect what happened next.
So, this week, David and his new team member show up in the van, and they unload the wooly mammoth, and then we get to talking in the turnip row while people are harvesting for their families.
He says, "We went to Costco but they said they don't donate produce, as a policy, because of liability."
"But the Good Samaritan Act--there is no liability issue, and surely a company as big and proactive as Costco knows this," I answer.
Bob's there, too. Costco had donated a pile of produce to him to bring to this food pantry after the community garden we helped start was vandalized and food that had been growing to donate was destroyed back in April. See his post, titled Spirit Reborn, here . We thought of Costco as a good corporate citizen in its local communities.
This didn't make sense. I tell David we need to find out if this is a local issue or if this is, indeed, Costco's corporate policy. I couldn't imagine this would be corporate policy, from a company like that, in this day and age, and I thought finding an answer would be fast and easy. But no.
* I Google, but get no clear (or even vague) hit on my simple question: "Does Costco participate in food recovery for its unsellable produce?"
* I tweet the Costco corporate Twitter account (@CostcoTweets) because I have found that that's often the fastest way to action, but then I discover this account has been inactive since June so there doesn't seem to be a social media employee watching the shop.
* I call Costco's corporate office in the Seattle area and am connected to a man named Aaron Sato in Community Giving, with whom I leave a message. I could have just as easily been connected to Waste Management or Accounting or Corporate Social Responsibility, because, as you can see from this EPA overview of food recovery , this topic touches all those areas.
* I write to Jonathan Bloom, author of the truly outstanding book titled American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half Its Food, whom I interviewed for this article two years ago, asking if he had some additional insight on the Costco question (I haven't heard back from him yet).
* I send an email to the Community Food listserve out of Tufts University, an excellent list of people involved nationally that I often access when researching stories such as those I wrote for Urban Farm magazine. I ask if anyone involved in gleaning is able to access produce from Costco (not bread and pastries, which do seem to be donated regularly and which our food pantry already receives from other places). I get no confirmation of anyone receiving produce from Costco.
I was posting about all of this on Facebook, and one of my Facebook friends happens to be the person referred to as the "Kevin Bacon of Wasted Food" in the current issue of Whole Living magazine in the excellent feature article titled Spoil Alert. Holly Elmore. She commented and we emailed and then talked on the phone. Could this be true? Could Costco have a corporate policy against donations of past-its-prime produce? Could tons and tons (and tons and tons) of perfectly edible food be going to landfills all across our country every single day? As creator of one of the largest Zero Waste Zones in the United States and a nationally-renowned expert in the environmental, social and economic benefits of reduced waste, Holly knows this topic inside and out--see her excellent blog post here which includes the link to the Spoil Alert article (and, yes, the food pantry mentioned in the article is the one in which I'm involved!). Holly agreed to call her Costco contact and see how she could help facilitate change, if indeed, it is needed and this is not all just a misunderstanding.
So I'm about to walk out the door Friday night and the phone rings. It's Aaron. I ask him about food recovery regarding produce and Costco's national policy and he says, "Well, I assume that we donate produce."
I say, "Aaron, you can't assume this. I assumed, too. I love Costco. I'm a member. I shout out good things about your company all the time, but here's where I'm at with this question so far."
I fill him in. He gets intrigued. He tells me he's going to make some calls internally and get a definite answer. I tell him I'm writing this post, and that I'll let FoodShed Planet readers know that Aaron is working on this. What I don't tell Aaron is that I may be naive sometimes. I'm often almost pathologically optimistic. I do believe in the impossible. I may actually "live on another planet (that would be our shared FoodShed Planet). But, for some odd reason--his voice, maybe, the fact that he returned my phone call, perhaps--I trust Aaron. And I trust Costco. And I think that if there is an oversight here regarding the company's potential for good, that it will be remedied before this Wednesday, when David and his new friend with the van make their rounds.
To be clear, I don't expect Costco or any supermarket to recover all its surplus food right away. I know that takes time, and I know that it most likely takes Holly and a whole lot of other people working together. But I do think it is realistic to ask that if people show up at your Costco warehouse location with the appropriate paperwork indicating their alignment with a local food pantry, and if you have perfectly edible produce that you are about to trash, you give at least some of it to these volunteers in your community instead. Especially if they finally, finally, have a van.
So here's the simple request:
Costco, would you please give permission to the manager at the Sandy Springs, Georgia, Costco location to do this on Wednesday? You'll like David. You'll feel good about giving. Trust me. I trust you. (And then, maybe it's possible to allow this nationwide?)Thank you, David and Kathy and Mary Louise and Bob and Tracy and Holly and Aaron and Costco and the man with the van and everyone else (James and Ann and Mia and Patrick and Charlene and Connie and . . .) who takes the time to make the connections from hand to hand. Thank you for taking a moment in your busy day and making things just a little bit more right. It matters.
UPDATE: Monday, 10/29/12: Aaron just called and told me that he has confirmed that it is not a corporate policy to not donate produce to local food pantries. He suggested David try again, and he said he would send an email to the regional manager encouraging donations like this. I greatly appreciate Aaron's call, especially since he is currently very involved tracking Hurricane Sandy and preparing to help where needed on Costco's behalf. Thank you, Aaron. You're a good man.

The situation in Syria continues to deteriorate and finding a solution to end the bloodshed is now more urgent than ever. In a new ECFR policy memo Julien Barnes-Dacey proposes a political strategy that gives Moscow the lead role in formulating a ceasefire and accedes to its demand that negotiations with the regime should not be preconditioned on Assad's demise. In an op-ed Julien also explains why talks with Assad and the Syrian regime may be the only way forward.
That's it for this week. As ever, stay in touch on Twitter (@ECFRheadlines – but our Madrid, Paris, Rome and Warsaw offices and quite a few of our staff have their own accounts), on Facebook and on LinkedIn.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Julie & Julia(PG-13) 3 out of 4 stars Adapting a single book into a movie is no mean feat. Condensing two books into one film is next to impossible and something that's just begging for failure. Against all odds, writer/director Nora Ephron manages to pull it off here, but not without a few narrative hiccups. Since bounding out of the blocks with the winning one-two punch of "This is My Life" and "Sleepless in Seattle," Ephron's career has been a slow and painful downward spiral that reached rock-bottom in 2005 with "Bewitched." Generally a better writer ("Silkwood," "Heartburn," "When Harry Met Sally...") than director, Ephron's helming skills have finally reached full maturity with "Julie & Julia." Jumping back and forth between two time frames that are 50 years apart, Ephron's film is structured much like "The Godfather II" with murder and deceit being replaced with kitchen utensils and the pen. If you're a writer or a foodie (or both), you're likely to enjoy it even more. For the third time, Meryl Streep plays a character (Julia Child) written for her by Ephron and as usual, Streep is superb. If you've ever seen reruns of Child's cooking shows, you know she is a ripe target for over-the-top lampooning, yet Streep resists, even though she's stated in interviews she's based part of her performance on Dan Aykroyd's 1978 Child "SNL" skit. Sharing the lead with Streep yet never appearing with her on-screen is fellow "Doubt" Oscar-nominee Amy Adams as New York resident Julie Powell. During the day, Julie works as an insurance agent dealing with the families of the Sept. 11 attack victims - a stressful and thankless job. Powell is also a woman about to hit 30 without much to show for it. Admitting she never finishes anything she starts, Julie tells her almost-too-understanding husband Eric (Chris Messina) she's going to make all 512 recipes found in Child's French cookbook in the space of a year. He suggests she ought to blog about her experience - something he later regrets. In more ways than one, Julie's quest takes a heavy toll. Back in early '50s Paris, Child and her diplomat husband Paul (Stanley Tucci, Streep's co-star in "The Devil Wears Prada") are leading a comfortable yet boring life. A ball of energy who thrived on constant activity, Child elbowed her way into the lofty "Cordon Bleu" cooking school, a strict boy's club institution. After graduating, Child accepted an offer from two French women to write the English language version of what would end up being the landmark "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." When Ephron and her characters stick with the creative and food aspects, the movie is impossible to resist. This is one film where you should either eat well before you go or plan to do so immediately afterward. Credit needs to be lavished on the film's food stylist Susan Spungen for making sure all of the dishes are aesthetically perfect (or not so when called for). In an attempt to amp up the dramatic quotient, Ephron includes political and marital woe subplots that are just marginally interesting and only succeed in slowing the already iffy momentum. An 11th hour scenario suggesting a possible meeting of the title characters is introduced yet is left mysteriously dangling. Watching the creative process unfold within two different disciplines is the draw here and Ephron never strays from it for too long at any point during the film. Like Julie, Ephron messes up a bit along the way yet eventually emerges victorious. (Sony/Columbia)

Abstract Artist, Photographer • http://r-tdesigns.deviantart.com/
Jackson, WY, USA
I'm a self taught Photoshop artist. I am an amateur photographer.
I also have the time to reach within and try to create something new and alive. I have no formal training in this field so I think that allows me to go where taught wisdom would say not to. But if anything, I feel I am not easy to pin down to one type of art other than digital, abstract, fractal, photomanipulator, photographer. As I am also a poet, song writer and an amateur musician along with being a retired chef.
I hope you have take the time to check my galleries out and I hope you find something that you like.

Posted by admin | Posted in Green life | Posted on 13-08-2014
It's no secret that going green and being eco friendly is the "in" thing these days and for good reason. It is safer for the environment and leaves less of a negative footprint on the earth. One area where this trend has really taken off is in the area of automobiles. More and more automakers are either producing eco friendly cars and still others are considering getting on board.
I've heard a car checker jokingly tell me that the eco in eco friendly can also mean economical as well but that is true in many ways. First of all, they require less maintenance so you don't need a car check as often as cars which are unfriendly to the environment. People who own eco friendly cars can also save a whole lot of money on fuel costs since most eco friendly vehicles use a combination of electricity and gas. There are even some that use no gas at all, although they tend to go shorter distances than those which are hybrid in nature.
When you have someone check mot for your car, they often check how dangerous it is for the environment. Eco friendly cars also spit out far less carbon dioxide into our air since they use considerably less fossil fuels. Another great thing about these vehicles is that they tend to be constructed using recycled/recyclable and sustainable material. This means that there is less tearing down and destruction of natural resources.
And the list goes on. For example, by driving eco friendly vehicles we depend less and less on foreign oil for our transportation needs. It is no secret that the major oil producing countries have been known to manipulate the supply "available" from time to time for both economic and political reasons.
Yes, it's true that some folks will always want one of those big powerful vehicles which eat up gas like there's no tomorrow. However, the economy being what it is these days, quite a few of them are no realizing how much sense it makes to drive an eco friendly car instead. Some have even taken to owning one of each, with the eco friendly model being the one they use most often, and driving the strictly gas dependent one on weekends or certain occasions.
One thing is for sure; eco friendly cars are here to stay. And don't be surprised if somewhere in the not too distant future they make up the majority of the cars on the road. Plus, with many countries mandating that newer cars get a certain number of miles per gallon of gas, all signs point to eco friendly cars growing in number. If you don't already own one, now may be the time to look into them.

One of the very first pieces of kitchen equipment I purchased with my own money was a cast iron skillet. The above skillet is the same one that I bought almost six years ago. POOR POOR SKILLET!
As you can see, it has seen better days. Generally, if you treat your cast iron skillet well, it won't get like mine above. But after a few moves and years of use (some improper), mine just got a bit worn. A few months ago I noticed that it was starting to rust pretty badly and by the time I got around to fixing the problem, my skillet was almost entirely rusted out!
Now, some people might say that this means I need a new skillet, but oh no. One of the awesome things about these skillets is that with a little work and a few hours, you can bring it back to almost better than new status.
I figured I'd snap some photos as I went so you can repair any skillets that need repairing.
In fact, if you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can almost certainly find one at a garage sale if you search around a bit. It'll probably look as bad if not worse than mine, but with these steps, you can bring it back into good shape.
Cleaning the Skillet
You probably heard it: "Never ever put soap on your cast iron skillet!"
That's generally good advice because it strips out all the oils that have seasoned the skillet. When we are looking at a skillet like mine though, step one in getting it back into good shape is to very thoroughly clean it.
That means getting off all the rust and crud and basically starting from scratch.
For this, you're going to want to pick up some steel wool scrubbers!
Get some really hot water, a good amount of soap, and a scrubber and really go to town on the skillet. I'm not going to lie, it's hard work.
You want to make sure you thoroughly scrub all the inside of the skillet. Get the sides and the bottom really well. Make sure all the rust is out. It's going to take 10-15 minutes of good scrubbing to get the job done.
After this, your arms will be exhausted, and you'll have a nice clean skillet.
This was mine after about 15 minutes of scrubbing. Looking better already!
Of course, the problem is that now this skillet is just a big piece of iron with no coating at all to protect stuff from sticking to it. One of the joys of having a good cast iron skillet is that almost nothing sticks to it.
Right now though, this pan is like Velcro. All the little crevices in the iron are going to make anything that touches it stick to it. You can see how it's kind of a dull black/gray color. That means it's clean, but not seasoned for cooking.
Seasoning the skillet
Honestly, the hard part is over. Now we just need to get the skillet ready for cooking.
Seasoning, as it's called, involves cooking a very light layer of fat or oil in the skillet for many hours. As the skillet heats up, the metal expands slightly and the iron basically absorbs the fat. Then as it cools, the oil sticks on the skillet and makes it shiny, smooth, and most importantly non-stick.
You can use vegetable oil for this, but honestly, bacon grease is the best thing for it. So assuming you're not vegetarian, pull out some good fatty bacon.
Add the bacon to your cast iron skillet and put the skillet on very low heat. After about 20 minutes, most of the fat should have rendered out of the bacon.
You should end up with something like this!
Cooking the pan
After you have your bacon grease ready, remove the bacon from the pan, pour off the bacon grease and save it, and wipe the pan really clean. Be sure to get any bacon bits that are stuck to the pan out of there.
Then, using a paper towel, pour a tiny amount of bacon grease back into the pan and rub it around the pan using a paper towel. There should be a very light layer of oil shimmering on the whole skillet. You don't want any grease pooling in the pan, just a nice smooth layer covering the whole surface.
Heat your oven to 250 degrees and bake the skillet for an hour.
Take it out, rub it with a bit more oil/grease, then back in the oven for an hour.
After two hours, we're getting somewhere. Notice how the pan is starting to shine a bit.
I did this same process two more times.
So in total, I baked my skillet for 4 hours at 250 degrees. Generally, two hours will do the trick, but I like to make sure mine is really nice and seasoned. That might seem like a lot of work, but it's largely hands off.
When my pan cooled down, I had a nice shiny cast iron skillet that looks a thousand times better than what I started with.
The Egg Test
Ok. So the real test for any non-stick surface is a fried egg.
Once you're ready to test it out, put your skillet over medium high heat and let it get nice and hot. Add a few drops of oil to the pan and crack in an egg. It should slide around and flip easily, just as if it were in a nonstick pan!
I passed my egg test!
Cast iron skillets aren't expensive, but there's no reason to throw one away if you can fix it like new with a few hours of lazy work, and a few minutes of heavy scrubbing.
So, if you have a neglected cast iron skillet or know somebody who does, now you know how to fix it up!
If you have doubts about why you need a cast iron skillet, here are 10 reasons why you should get one.

My problem is not rust but I left my skillet on with something in it till all the liquid went away and now I have a strange flat black build up that doesn't scrape off even with my trusty steel spatula. Do I try the steel wool treatment? Thank you.
Hey Susan, that's a bummer. I would give the steel wool a shot because you have nothing to lose. Worst case, you can't get it off and the pan is garbage. Best case it cleans up just fine and you'll just have to reseason it. Good luck!
I used vinegar on mine – hot – boiled it mixed with some water then used a scraper…also used some soft scrub for the really nasty ones…once skillet is in use, coarse salt is great to clean it!
All that is is carbon. If you have a self-cleaning oven, just invert the pan on the middle rack and leave it there while you run the oven through its cleaning cycle. Afterwards, wipe down with a damp cloth and you should be back to bare metal and ready to re-season – by whatever method you prefer. Personally, I just rub the pan down with Crisco and pop it back into a 350 degree oven for 2 hours – again, inverted so the excess shortning runs off rather than puddling.
If you've got a self-cleaning oven, put the pan in there and let it roll. At the end of the cycle, everything stuck to the pan – and I mean everything – will be ash. The pan will look pretty rough, but wash it and scrub it with some steel wool to clean it up. Dry it off, and re-season. Good as new.
Papertowel stick to pan why?
I have rust and flakiness on the underside of my cast iron. I reasoned the inside which worked great, but what should I do about the outside?
Lillian, you can repair/season the outside of the pan just like the inside. It's all the same material. :)
Once your skillet is seasoned, what is the proper way to clean it since you suggest avoiding soap?
To clean I rinse with hot water wipe dry put a drop or two of oil and store.ready to go
I found a newer, used cast iron dutch oven, and tried to deep fry chicken right off the bat. It started smoking befor I could even continue cooking. Now there are black scorch marks on bottom half outside, and inside, with dark grey on top half. I have attempted to reclean, and season this and it stinks of burnt rubber with slightest heat. I have NEVER seen this with any of my cast iron pans and am worried its beyond my repair. Any help would be great. I am getting sick of this horrible smell.
Hey Christy! That sounds pretty bad. I'm not sure what would cause a rubber smell unless it was something the previous owner did… I would say to bust out the steel wool and crust it completely down until it's a fresh layer and then reseason it from scratch. Unfortunately you'll probably want to do the inside AND outside as the burning could be on the outside of the pan. After you reseason it, if it is still smelling and smoking then it's probably trash. Good luck!
I love garage sales. I bought a #12 for $1.00, a Dutch oven with the lid and s canvas zippered cover for$10.00 what a steal. Believe me I've had to scrub a couple with steel wool, reseason with oil and my grandmother taught me to use some salt, a paper towel to really get the oil in. I'm going to try the oil and baking. Thanks for the idea. I too got on this site by accident. I'm glad I did. Too much fun it taught me a lesson not to stop reaching out for new ideas using old stuff. I love it. Thanks for sharing……
I have a cast iron skillet that food was baked in and leftovers not removed for a couple of days. Now the bottom of the pan is "spotty". It looks like discoloration spots. How can this be fixed? It is a new skillet that was purchased about 9 months ago but has been used quite often.
Hey Lisa, if the spots won't come off with a plastic scraper, you probably need to reseason the pan from scratch. Scrub it down with steel wool until it's fresh and then reseason it like I do in this post. It'll take a few hours of work, but should do the trick. Good luck!
What if your pan is bigger than your oven any suggestions?
Hey James, since you are just rubbing on a thin layer of the oil you could put a baking sheet under the skillet and tilt it a bit to fit more vertically in your oven. You might have to remove a few racks to get it to fit. If it still doesn't fit then I'm out of ideas!
I just bought my pan, 'pre-seasoned'; it obviously needed some additional work. After watching a couple videos, I used Crisco on the inside and outside of the pan – now it's incredibly sticky. Help!
Also – if one uses soap, won't the soap get into the pores of the pan when it heats up?
Crisco should work okay but I usually prefer a more natural grease, like bacon fat. Any fat or oil should work though. If it's sticky, you probably need to apply a more thin layer and bake it longer. Since soap will kill the fat bonds I never soap my skillet unless I'm completely reseasoning it anyway.
I washed my cast iron skillet, dried it, put on some canola oil, turned it upside down and baked it for one hour at 350 degrees. The skillet came out so sticky. So, I washed it, this time with a stiff brush and a little soap, dried it, added the oil and tried again to bake it for one hour. Now it's stickier than ever. HELP!
Hey Nicki… I think the problem is two fold… one, you are baking it at way too hot a temp. 350 will possibly burn the oil rather than infuse it into the pan. In the directions, I recommend 250 degrees F.
Also, I usually bake mine for a total time of four hours. Yes… it's a long process, but just an hour won't get you anywhere. Hope that helps!
Just to let everyone know, when I was little bitty my uncle found 12 assorted sized cast iron skillets in the corner of a barn about to be torn down and rescued them. He asked my Mom to render about a pound of bacon and sieve the fat. Then he used the hose to wash the dust and chunks of dirt off of the skillets and left them to dry outside, upside down (so the water couldn't pool and cause more rust).
Then he built a large fire, about three foot across and wood stacked about 3 foot high. After the fire settled down to all red and grey embers, he tossed all the pans into the coals. He didn't let them touch and he tried to make sure they were upside down. (No idea the logic here, folks.)
He left everything alone until the fire burned out and the skillets cooled completely. He washed them all with a metal scrubber and seasoned them all with the bacon fat inside and out.
I would recommend doing this to everyone if you have a way to burn those crusted up skillets, charcoal grill or campfire, give it a go. If that crusty/sticky/smelly skillet is going to be trashed anyway and you have the capability, what is the harm?
Love cast iron to cook with. I've seasoned just as you do for all of them and for some reason, some seem to take better than others. I assume it's from years of either caring for them correctly or not. I'm always on the look out for barn sales because you can find very old, odd pieces that I would love to know the history and what was made in them from years ago…if only cast iron could talk!
wow, great post. I bought my FIRST cast iron skillet yesterday. I guess I've already made my first mistake. The first thing I did when I brought it home is I washed it with soap to get rid of some of the dust it had on it from laying around in a store. So, if you recommend to never ever clean it with soap, what do you clean it with between uses? Also, when you buy it brand new, is it already seasoned?
Hey Maggie! Most skillets come preseasoned these days. For me, after I use my skillet I rinse it thoroughly with very hot water and use a scraper to scrape off any food bits on it. Then I wipe it out with a dry paper towel. That usually does the trick and keeps it in good shape. Some people also like to rub a very tiny amount of veg oil on it in between uses. Good luck!
bought a used skillet: cleaned it and found on one quadrant the iron isn't smooth but has little sharpish bumps. How do I, and what do I use to knock these down level with the bottom of the pan?
Thanks, Bev
Hey Bev, steel wool is really the best way. If it is super-pockmarked then it might not be salvageable though. Good luck!
Oh and PS… you don't have to completely get rid of the bumps. Some skillets have them after years and years and still cook just fine. Just be sure to get off any rust and give it a shot. It might be just fine!
I have a box of old cast iron cookware, 30 minutes a pan would take 2 days, what do you think about sand blasting them?
Hmm… that might work for cleaning, but you would still want to season them by baking them with fat rubbed on. If I were you I would sell the ones I didn't want as-is and then reseason just the ones I wanted to use. There isn't really a reason to have that many cast iron pans. A few different sizes is all a normal kitchen needs.
You all are doing the hard work and even probably discarding really good pieces. Just stop by Ace Hardware store and get a bottle of rooto drain cleaner (100% lye), then grab a bin with lid and pour in 10 gallons of water, pour in the entire bottle of lye crystals (1 lb) and mix with a stick. Use rubber globes as this solution can burn your skin! Let the skillet set in completely submerged for 1-3 days. The lye bath will remove all grease, old seasoning and crude that has build up over time. Check daily as some are done within a few hrs and some need 3-4 days plus some scrubbing. Once ready just bring it in under hot water and wash it throughly. Lye will wash off completely and gets neutralized by water. Then scrub it as needed and even use soap if you wish. Dry it fast to avoid rust and you can give it a coating with crisco and bake it in oven at 350F for an hr. That it! don't sweat it! You can keep the lye properly covered for future use for up to a year.
Correction: 5 gallons of water. Add the lye to water and not the other way around!
Hi Nick,
I burned food onto my skillet and had to scrub it down hard. It is becoming more seasoned however I have pitting on the bottom. Do I season the skillet with the pits or try to get rid of them?
Hey Cheryl, you probably won't be able to scrub out the pits if they are deep… You can still use the pan for many things with pits if it is seasoned correctly. If it's causing a lot of issues though, it might be replacement time… Good luck!
