Dutch oven question...?!
Well my Lodge dutch oven (cast iron of course) was in great shape!.!.!.we were taking very good care of it, exactly like we were supposed to!.
Problem is we scorched some stew in it last week!.!.!. after cleaning it obsessively and trying to get the scorched part off and then re-seasoning it, it appears that the finish maybe is coming off of it!. There is a greasy black residue all over the brush that I have used to clean it and there are spots in the oven that look silver-ish, and I know that its not supposed to look that way!. Anyone with expertise!.!.!.please help!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try boiling 1 cup of vinegar with 8 cups of water in it for a while!.
RInse it really well and then try reseasoning it!. Even if the "finish" has come off some yu should still be able to use it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Never heard of finsih coming off cast iron!. Was it one that came preseasoned or something!?
Next time don''t scrub quit as much, just simmer water in it for a while, drain, give it a scrub and or a scrape, then repeat until the hard stuff is gone!.
And even if some scorched food remains I wouldn't worry to much about it affecting the taste of your food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wash it and scrub it well with warm soapy water it will have to be re seasoned!.The whitish spots are where it overheated it will wear evenly over time!.And that will disappear eventually its not ruined just showing its been used!.Using Iron cookware 43 years,no problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I like Jen's idea!. I generally just boil water in the pot that I have burned something and it seems to work!. I would also contact Lodge to see if they have a solution!. Here is the link to their website!. Good Luck
