Another cast iron pan question
My cast iron problem is not rusty but really gunky with baked on grease and oil. Very gunky. Will oven cleaner, plastic bag and a plastic scrubber clean it up?

+1 on using the self-cleaning oven. I put it in for an hour and all residue is reduced to ash. Resist the urge to take it out until it cools. I've burned several pot holders that way. Also, if you set it on the cool stove, it can crack. I ruined a couple of nice vintage pieces that way before I figured out what I was doing.
Rinse off the ash (there might be some rust under the residue as well) .. Use a steel scrubbie and scouring powder to get it nice and clean, then re-season as normal.
