How do you get rust out of your Dutch oven?

Answer 1

If by dutch oven you mean cast iron, then scrub it well, dry it over an open flame, then coat it with lard, rub it in well, put it in the oven at low heat for several hours. Or you can simply place the clean pan in an open fire, leaving it there until the fire dies down. Once you have eliminated the rust, keep the dutch oven clean by always drying it on the stove after washing it, not drying the inside with a cloth. Wipe down the outside after washing, then place the pan on a low open flame on the stove burner, watching until it is totally dry. Turn off the burner and let the pan cool, then put away.
