Most people are criticizing here that now it looks like pitted Aluminum or poor finish steel. But people should appreciate that you showed how to get rid of the chemical coating that each average family kitchen has some pots. Not referring to the ultra sophisticated, rich folks. Aluminum is bad for cooking - but isn’t majority of restaurant food and party trays etc getting made and served with Aluminum? A large part of the world uses Aluminum for cooking - it doesn’t make it healthy but definitely better than peeling Teflon pots. Great work man. The electrolysis can help with lots of other things too

On second thought, .....maybe I'll just buy a new non-stick pan from Walmart for $12???

I have bought 2 electric skillet from Walmart Presto brand and they both started to peal. I might be better to fix or may a shop can do it for you and you never have to worry about it pealing ever again.

Is the pan made out of aluminum or stainless steel?

They're usually aluminum with some quantity of stainlesss. Just not high grade stainless. Aluminum is cheap. It's recycled tin cans but with the slag still

You sure don't want to use an uncoated aluminum pan. This is uncoated and either 100% or some alloy of aluminum. There are alot of really old studies that show how toxic aluminum cookware is. Glass is the most inert cooking substance and stainless steel second. This is about as uncoated as it gets. I've seen cheap diners and restaurants that use aluminum cookware so well-seasoned by years of cooking with vegetable oil they look so black like they're coated with PFTE teflon.

or buy a stainless steel pan; probably cheaper than the rods, welding, and soap. Also, add enough oil to a hot pan and nothing will stick to it. Still interesting video; thanks for sharing.

​@Null you got that backward. The lower the number, the more abrasive it is. Wet sandpaper with higher numbers give more polish. 80 is very coarse, 800 is very fine

It's aluminum and it's pitted. It'll do fine as an oven pan if used with parchment paper, but otherwise you're better off throwing it out tbh. It's not worth the toxicity. EDIT: I was wrong. Aluminum isn’t toxic. The study that linked it to Alzheimer’s was never able to be replicated, so it’s probably fake and paid for with some unseen economic interest for someone (probably competition).

Correct. Aluminum is VERY toxic to the nervous system and studies have shown over 30 years ago that aluminum cookware was leading to early onset dementia and contributing to the disease in general. As long as it's VERY WELL seasoned, as the cookware in most professional diners or restaurants would be, it's fine. Next to teflon, there's probably no more poisonous cooking substance than aluminum. The latest coating is a 'rock' or ceramic type coating but it does wear off like any of them will.

season it and it will be

OK I guess but you never say what it's made of. The base metal looks aluminum. Sure, you could restore it to be 'serviceable' but why? I've thrown away pans better than that. If the pan has a handle held on by one screw, it's probably not worth it. I only use pans with riveted handles, and even some of those aren't that high end. Any pan can be recoated with a 'non-stick' vegetable based coating if you strip it to the base metal. I sure wouldn't be cooking any eggs or anything in an uncoated pan like that, especially aluminum.

So... it's more of a conversion (into an uncoated pan) than a restoration. ☹

Next time, use a sandblaster.

Not everyone has the equipment you used to remove the stains.

its cheap, it's called electrolysis, you can get a cheap trickle charger from hardware store like ace or harbor freight. although for a flat bottom pan i would just use a orbital sander. afterward you can season it like cast iron to make it nonstick.

That is a nice robust pan, seems to be aluminum. But you did not go far enough. You cleaned the old failed finish off of the metal, and your frying of an egg looked good. But With my old failed Teflon pan, I cleaned it then seasoned it as you would with cast iron. put a dab of Crisco in and smear it all around the inside cooking surface. Heat oven to 350 degrees, put pan in upside down so excess oil can drip off, place tin foil on bottom of oven. bake for 1 hour then remove and cool. when you cook, it will be better than teflon, pretty much non stickum and when done, whip clean with paper towel. Sort of makes the need of teflon a myth we dont need to hear.

Wtf are you real 🤣🤣🤣

All that effort to fry one egg 😮😢
