About East Texas Cast Iron
We are a small East Texas operation passionate about giving cast iron cookware a second life.
East Texas
Cast Iron Restoration
We are based in East Texas and passionate about preserving cast iron cookware the right way. Whether it is a family heirloom covered in rust, a yard sale find with years of buildup, or a daily driver that needs a fresh start, we can restore it.
We use a controlled, methodical process: lye bath, electrolysis, and multi-layer seasoning. Every piece is treated individually with care, not rushed through a batch process.
We are a small operation, so turnaround time takes time, but the results are worth the wait. Cast iron done right is cookware that outlasts everyone in the house.
Cookware We Accept
Have something not on the list? Ask us. If it is cast iron, we can likely help. Drop-off and pickup only.
Our Process
Every piece goes through the same three-step process. No shortcuts.
Lye Bath
The pan soaks in a lye solution that breaks down grease, old seasoning, and baked-on residue, safely and completely.
Electrolysis
An electrolysis setup removes rust and takes the surface down to raw bare metal, revealing the original iron beneath.
Seasoning
Three or more thin layers of oil are baked on, building a durable non-stick surface your grandkids will inherit.
Local Drop-off & Pickup Only
We do not ship. Cast iron is heavy and we are a small operation. Serving East Texas and surrounding areas.
Tools We Trust
Products we recommend for keeping your cast iron in great shape between restorations.
Recommended Tool
Cast Iron Scrubber
A good chainmail or stainless scrubber is the right tool for cleaning cast iron without stripping your seasoning. Skip the soap-and-sponge routine and use something built for the job.
