Lodge Rust Eraser, One Size, Black

This rust-removing block is a game-changer for cast iron. It effectively tackles surface rust without harming your pan's seasoning, provided you use it carefully. I've used it on everything from minor blemishes to more stubborn rust spots, and it consistently clears them up quickly with minimal pressure. Think of it as a precise, satisfying "eraser" for your skillet. What truly sets this block apart is its simplicity and mess-free application. A few scrubs, a quick rinse, and a little re-seasoning, and your pans will look almost new. Plus, it's incredibly durable; I've used it on several pans and Dutch ovens, and it's still going strong. If you own cast iron cookware, especially Lodge, this inexpensive tool is a smart investment. It saves time, protects your cookware, and is far easier to use than abrasive steel wool or wire brushes. I highly recommend it!

I was skeptical at first, but the Lodge Cast Iron Rust Eraser completely won me over. I used it to revive a vintage skillet that had been sitting in my garage for years, and it worked like a charm. The eraser is easy to grip and gives you precise control, making it perfect for targeting rust spots without damaging the rest of the pan. It strips rust down to the bare iron, so yes—you’ll need to re-season afterward—but the results are totally worth it. My skillet looks brand new and cooks beautifully again. I’ve even used it on grill grates and old tools with great success. For such a compact tool, it packs serious power and is incredibly durable. Plus, it’s made in the USA, which is always a bonus. If you’re into cast iron cooking or restoring heirloom pieces, this eraser is an absolute essential. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to keep their cast iron in top shape without harsh chemicals or endless scrubbing!

This thing works so good we had to google what it’s actually made of. Works on rust very well!

It DOES remove rust, but it also wears away so fast that you probably should buy a case of these if you have a lot of pans that need attention. I was gifted a large amount of rusty cast iron pans/pots. I was hoping this would help knock most of it off at least 2 or 3 of the pans, but it might help with 1 before it's too small to use.

I don't know why this works. I don't. It feels like rubber and I'm seeing little specs of metal mixed within it, but...IT WORKS. BUY THIS NOW. I had a 14 inch cast iron pan that my mother accidentally ruined years ago (read: like 5ish years) and I was about to throw it away during a new year clean out, but then I decided to "fix it" as a hobby. I tried the potato and salt method, soaking in vinegar, scrubbing with a steel wool and dish detergent and salt and....just, so many different methods and practices. So many. They would helped a little, but there was still rust, over and over and over. So I thought, as a last ditch effort, to pick this up. It was inexpensive and by a reputable brand that is incredibly well known. If I were to purchase another cast iron pan, I could use it for that if I needed to. I started scrubbing the edges and interior of my pan and...it was working. It was removing the rust that I had consistently been unable to remove by the tons of other methods. I didn't require a cleaner (at least not initially), or salt, or vinegar. Just the power of this bar and a small bit of elbow grease. After I shook out the rust dust, I washed it with a little bit of Dawn and a sponge with a nylon scrubber on one of the sides. I then seasoned it (450F for 60 minutes, then just turn the oven off and let the pan cool down in there). It is perfect. There's still some discoloration, BUT the rust is GONE. VANISHED. ELIMINATED. This is pure Witchcraft, no other excuse. lol

This works great! It takes some elbow grease, especially with large amounts of rust, however it works much better than other alternatives. It’s like a rubber material, just needs a little water and some scrubbing. Only think I dislike is that it doesn’t give instructions on use.

I tried this out as soon as I got it. I searched. YouTube for video demos and found one. I followed his directions and found it works best on very light rust (called ‘flash rust’) and not so well on moderately or heavily rusted surfaces. It’s similar to an eraser in that it leaves behind gritty stuff you’ll need to sipe out before using the pan. I dumped out what I could and wiped out the rest with a paper towel with avocado oil on it. After I got it all out, I heated the pan to try to re-season it and it was nicely black again. This product is most suited to small projects without a lot of surface area. It takes a little elbow grease but it’s not hard to use. It wears down pretty quickly with use so you’ll want to do small areas at a time.

I am in my 70's. I have had cast iron for years. My cast iron has been well maintained. I bought this just in case I found a pan at an estate sale that needed attention. In your hand it feels like a rubber eraser. It is definitely a nice piece to have on hand. The Lodge ceramic coated cast iron holds up better than other brands that I have. Lodge has paid attention to the little details that make using them have a better end product, your dinner! The lid seal is tight, the handles make it easier to retrieve from a hot oven. If you have the extra funds to purchase LODGE, you won't regret it. Beautiful, functional pieces that will last!

This powerful solution is a game-changer for anyone looking to restore the shine and functionality of their beloved cast iron pans and pots. I recently discovered Lodge Rust Remover, and it’s been a lifesaver for reviving my old and neglected cookware. With just a few simple steps, this solution effortlessly removes rust, baked-on food residue, and other tough stains, leaving my cast iron looking as good as new. What I love most about Lodge Rust Remover is its effectiveness and ease of use. Simply apply the solution to the affected areas, let it work its magic for a short period, and then scrub away the rust and grime with ease. The results are truly impressive – my cookware looks restored to its former glory with minimal effort required. Not only does Lodge Rust Remover excel in performance, but it’s also safe and environmentally friendly. Made from biodegradable ingredients, it’s a responsible choice for those conscious of their environmental impact.

I bought that item with (kind of) no expectation. It work very well for what I needed it for. Even try with an old iron cookie sheet and it took the small rusty spot with ease.

Although I'm usually very careful to keep my Lodge cast iron properly seasoned I did find that when I stored some pans in a closed cupboard with very little air circulation a few rust spots appeared on one or two of my pans. This eraser is great for removing these and with a quick rub down of grapeseed oil and a hour in the oven at 240c (465F) the rust disappeared. Have since moved my pans to a heavy duty steel racking system that stands in the open in my kitchen. The eraser won't get used that often but it will be my first port of call if required.

Es como un borrador de oxido!!! Se va desgastando conforme vas "borrando" el oxido y va dejando un polvo oscuro. Hubo partes donde no alcanzo, funciona mejor en sartenes lisos.

Erases the rust - lots of scrubbing to get rid of it. Handy little eraser
