Free food & cooking tip: Optional full strip for sticky disasters (step 5 of 11 from "Cast Iron Seasoning and Rescue").
If the pan is gummed with thick sticky oil, a self-cleaning oven cycle or yellow-cap oven cleaner in a bag (outdoors, gloves, follow product safety) can strip to bare iron.

Pro tip: After any full strip, you must reseason from scratch — multiple thin coats.
