Thanks, Ivan - think I'll now be trying a fine wire brush and baking soda.

it will be brand new practically.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can do this since it's the corn-stick pan with all the little corn cob divets in it.

Thanks, John - I'll get to work!

Oh, I've never heard of that. So, no scrubbing with soap and starting over?

I bought an old Griswold Crispy Corn Stick pan and it looks nice and black and seasoned and doesn't have rust, but when I wipe it down with oil and a paper towel, so much black stuff comes off. I wipe it over and over and it just keeps coming off blacker and blacker. What do I need to do? Very hard to wipe down in those little corn kernel divets.
