About to re season my grandmother's comal. I'm actually terrified when doing this. This is a working heirloom, so I actually do use it to cook. But it's also incredibly old and I don't want to be the one who breaks this.

On top of that, when re seasoning cast iron, you do absolutely everything you're not supposed to to cast iron. Scrubbing with soap and water and everything.

It went well last time I did it other than not being able to scrub all the minor rust patches out. I'm hoping the rust treatment I have will take care of those patches this time.

You know, I didn't think China was up to something, even when they started poking around Taiwan's airspace.

But the balloons over the US (who would come to their defence) and hearing about a balloon over Central America (which contain a few countries who still have official ties), have me thinking something is up.

I'm not so sure WHAT anymore, but at the same time, I'm not so sure about a non-invasion of Taiwan anymore....

Reseasoning panic #3 - I just noticed that the comal has a tiny crack through it, and that means instant retirement anyways.

I'm going to wait until midnight (12 hours) for the rust to flake off, but if it isn't coming off, I'm going to reseason it, put it away, and once I get a new job, pay someone to restore it from scratch.

It's all seasoned up. Looks way worse than before. Will get it restored whenever things get better for me financially.
