Cast Iron Cleaning...special question?
I bought two cute cast iron pieces that appeared dirty. They aren't dirty, they are encrusted with some kind of rubber! It was like someone tried to use the corn bread molds to make rubber corn or rubber muffins.
I tried soaking in hot soapy water and using a brush, but that didn't work at all. I don't want this rubber crap going down my sink. The pieces are rusty already so scouring them is fine. I have a grill so I can heat it up and try and melt it out, but I don't know if the rubber is flammable.
Any ideas on cleaning?

I would try freezing it first. Put the pieces in the freezer overnight (then handle with gloves) and try to break off the rubbery pieces. Repeat the freezing/scrubbing routine until most of the larger chunks are gone. What is left on there, you might be able to burn off on your grill.
