Just getting interested in cleaning up some cast iron pans I got at a garage sale. I read about the electrolysis and the the lye in the sun method but has anyone tried beadblasting or perhaps some other media. It would remove baked on crap and rust at the same time. Anybody see a downside?

That will be my next purchase. Sear the steak in a cast iron skillet on the top of the stove and then put it in the oven for four minutes makes one of the perfect steaks I’ve ever made.Also, I picked up a Lodge 10" grill pan at TJ Maxx.
It work really well for last night's thick cut & stuffed pork chops. Who needs a grill when you got that?
