What did everyone cook today?
-
This is an old old slicer that we have had at Walton’s for some time now. I stole it from our service department to use as a backdrop for something that ultimately never happened but I refuse to throw it away. It is a cool piece of history and I have been wanting to clean it up and show it off. Without a sandblaster does anyone have a good way to refinish it? Please don’t say elbow grease, I don’t have the time right now. I was thinking about taking some oven cleaner and spraying it and then let it sit in a plastic bag for a few days to get most of the rust off and then trying to coat it but I don’t feel like the coating will do it justice.
Jonathon For God’s sake, do not discard that beautiful thing, if you think you want to ever, call me! Other than the 50/50 vinegar bath, rinse, & baking soda bath to neutralize, I am thinking keep it away from liquids as cast iron is porous. I would think a light blast or walnut shell blast would do it best (after dismantling & taking lots of step by step photos). I use a bench mounted wire wheel too for restoration of that type & it gives the best results, but it will be hard to get into all the crevasses at the exterior of that beautiful slicer. There is a guy in Pittsburg that I have used more recently for for blasting & powder coating projects that does good work for a fair price, even with shipping (compared to local). For the exterior finish I just want to say light oil & keep it dry. You could also consider powder coating the exterior non moving parts. Take the wood handle off first, clean with murphy oil soap, dry very well & soak in boiled linseed oil while you are working on the metal. I know we all can’t wait to see that thing when you finish.

This is from last night. Not done the shrimp in awhile.
Out of beer and bourbon… A golden margarita??? It worked.
PapaSop How did you like that Blonde? I found some stuff from up your way when on the road the other day. Leinenkugel’s Vanilla Porter & Toasted Bock. Not bad at all. I had never seen those before & definitely not locally.

The shrimp… Olive oil, lemon pepper and paprika. The steak… Excalibur’s Ultimate Steak and Roast Rub…as usual. Awesome! Both on the Weber, charcoal.It was 32 deg. outside… I was compelled.

I actually like it. Only seem to pick it up when there’s a sale. Usually comes as a freebie with the regular Guinness.With Leinenkugel’s basically in my back yard I’ve never tried the Vanilla Porter. Toasted Bock… Oh yea! A lot of their stuff is very regional… It shouldn’t be! Great products!

Jonathon Been thinking about this all day. I think calldoctoday is right. Something like this needs to be preserved, not just spray painted. It is worth restoring. That will take expertise. Would be worth having a professional look at it.

Tex_77 That’s a wonderful trip through the stables. I’m tasting your combo of seasonings and accoutrements virtually and the old mouth is watering. Very good choices.

When I do this I will make sure to take photos/videos of each step. I might do a video on it as it seems like there is some interest in this.

Will be washin it down with a little bit of Old Forrester 101 & Buffalo Rock with a little bit of Lemon. Gotta have a little sunshine!
