Funky Cast Iron
Hey, remember that great big beautiful cast-iron Dutch Oven i found by the dumpster a few months back? The one in beautiful condition?
It has a funky smell to it.
Like... kind of a fishy smell, kinda a "Bad Poultry" smell. I thought it would go away after a few uses, but it's still there and STRONG.
SO! CAST-IRON OWNERS!!! Do you suppose it's safe to use some bleach on it to try and get rid of the smell? I know you should never use Dawn on cast iron because it ruins the seasoning, but maybe that's what I need to get rid of is a bad seasoning on it? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?!?

She says to remind you that the animal fat is very important. But she doesn't know why.
Hope it all helps.
