Thread: Dutch Oven Metallic Smell and Taste

Get rid of the grapeseed oil by boiling water in it for a while.

Then do as @woods223 said, and roast a greasy leg of something in it.

I use cast iron pretty much every day, and twice a day in winter. If I have had to clean then cause I used tomato in a stew concoction, I will heat the pan/pot till dry and use lard on a paper towel to recoat it.

Thats until I cook bacon in it the next day

XR500 onto it - avoid the detergent - boil some lemons or rhubarb ( bout the only good use for that crap ) in it for awhile to clean it - then roast something fatty - bacon hocks would be great or a mutton leg - after that no matter what others say - dont use detergent - wipe clean and regrease - if none of that works and still tasting rusty metallic have it sand blasted and start again - with fat
