Is cast iron cookware safe to use after having been through a house fire? - cast iron loaf pan
Period house recently burned my mother ... Solid pine had a car in the coating of walls and ceilings. Everything that was not consumed by the fire of the car was covered with black soot mixed pine and oil coating. It was a particularly hot fire of his home was also a solid tin roof and fire resistance and heat instead of letting them die and ventilation. The fire was so hot that even the china plates and dishes burned to dust. So I'm afraid that was the melting could be saved to be polluted. It is porous and have concerns that the chemicals would be absorbed from the fire unpleasant at best, if a leak in the food industry, and at worst can be toxic. Can anyone advise me on this?

I never go through this to save a pot, but I understand why someone, when all have been rescued would do.
I think a thorough cleaning and re-acclimation would be nice if you are really interested in her eyes. The occupation is pious. a great way to enjoy a strong lye solution for several days clean, completely disassembled and re-season W / furnace oil .. You look back !!!!!
