I suspect many of the pieces I treasure the most never make it to the sales floor at The Goodwill, would bet that the sales people find them too 'used' because have a bit of rust on them.
I found two of these PERFECT tart pans not that long ago and can't wait to use them in a cookbook or on a show. Thankfully they didn't make it to a landfill.
The love these old pans have seen!
I'm not one to purposely cook in rusty pans, but if you ingest a bit...no worries of tetanus, that's an old wives tale.
To get rid of rust just scrub with a paste made from some kosher salt and olive oil. Scrub with a steel pad, wash with hot soap and water, dry and rub down with some mineral oil.
Works like a charm.
Well, back to the hunt!
Hope I find another perfect prop today!

I never find anything interesting at Goodwill. Yet, I keep seeing all these great treasures when I'm blog hopping. No fair!
it really is a beautiful pan.
don't you love the hunt of perfect finds!
I am jealous you found those pans... They are the type I am looking for to make my short bread, i have been looking for some just like them. (I am trying not to buy new items, reuse is my motto for the year!)
I also have been buying up old glass dishes with lids so I don't buy those yucky plastic containers for left overs.
