Well, the short-term solution comes in two parts:

First, coat the pan with peanut oil, heat until it smokes, allow to
cool, wipe old oil off. (I find peanut oil to be best because it cures
like paint.) Repeat a few times. Blackening sausages in lard also
works.

Yeah, peanut's good, but only if you use the pan often. It'll go
rancid if the pan sits for any length of time.

Not after it has polymerized due to heat and the infinite source of iron
ions.


Second, shellac the nephew.

Y'know, I'm still trying to figure out how the pan got out in the
garage/shop in the first place. Sumpin's fishy here.

So's Buerste. But, deep down, he knows....

Won't work, clerics have ruled that it is acceptable to encounter such
unpleasantries while in performance of jihad. Sort of a towelhead version
of "the ends justify the means."

Metal Content: none, but I have an Altoids box on my desk. I know they
rust, have seen it, which tells me they are steel, but how do they get them
to be (and mostly stay) so damn shiny on the inside?

My experience with it differs from yours. Maybe my ions in LoCal were
different from the norm, but I got the spare pans hotter than hell (I
know how to properly cure a pan) and they still stunk after a month or
two when I opened the cupboard door. I ended up triple boiling them
to get the oils out and then redoing them with canola. shrug

Never had the problem. Maybe frequent use is the key. Whatever the oil
one uses, if it doesn't polymerize it will become rancid. It may take
more than one trip through a hot oven to finish the job.

I'd prefer to not know. Hmm. There is an alternative - chain the
nephew to one of those first industrial revolution machines in the
dantean brush factory.

before using peanut oil, check that no one near by, and no one in the
family has a peanut alergy - the vapor from the oil can cause sever
symptoms (like heart arrest) in sensitive folks - even a person with
"mild" peanut alergy would probably be unable to breathe. If you can use
any other oil, you are at a lot less risk - personally, I'd use butter,
lard, or olive oil.

What a great idea for a new terror weapon! A peanut oil vapor bomb!

Yeah, right up there with sheepskin covers for airline seats to
preclude Tangoes from boarding. In a war zone, just vaporize some
lard (rendered pig fat) so that the extemist Muslims would inhale
some. Taking any portion of a pig into your body is against their
religion so it would clear them out in a hurry.

Splendid, splendid. We just single-handedly won the war on terror,
guys!
