How to make an electrolysis tank - The basics

Electrolysis can be handy in removing rust and/or carbon from cast iron and other metals. We use it after a lye bath so our E-tank stays nice and clean for as long as it can.

Cast iron restoration - Lye then electrolysis
After soaking your pan in lye for a period of time you will notice all the grime is gone. It will still be rusty, but the carbon is removed. You would then move it to the E-tank which uses electricity to pull rust away from the metal. Electrolysis will also remove carbon (grease, or the black finish on the pan).

We show you how to restore, season, and maintain your cast iron cookware while keeping its personality and history alive. Our process involves a lye bath followed by an electrolysis tank with a little elbow grease thrown in along the way, no power tools.
