I rescued this one from the scrap heap - I wish I had before photos. (It had a thick layer of burned food.) This is after soaking in lye for a long time and some light scrubbing. I've never had cast iron before - what do I do with this next? What is a clean but unseasoned pan supposed to look like?

It'll like a light grey color. I would recommend doing an e - tank just for good measure, it will remove any of the seasoning the lie didn't get, and any and all rust that's left over. I would also recommend using some barkeepers friend to remove as much carbon staining as possible, which will give you very good bare metal to season.

usually if you did lye and it isnt clean yet... it just goes back into the lye. Lye will eventually dissolve all of the crud and none of the iron, so it is the safe bet and easy to use (just make sure you have some vinegar on hand lol)

I used a orbital sander on mine.
It’s good now.
