    Red Le Creuset 10-inch Enamel Pan Restoration

    I restore all types of cookware to their original finish, dedicating the time each piece needs—often several hours per pan—to ensure it’s brought back to prime condition.

    My focus is on quality workmanship so every piece is returned ready to perform at its best for my clients.

    “Did an incredible job restoring 4 cookware pieces of mine that were all in very tough shape.

    The quality of work was excellent and pricing was more than fair.

    It was a pleasure working with Marc and I would recommend his services to any one in need.”

    “One of the best local services for restoring restoring/seasoning your pans!

    I needed my 10+ year-old cast-iron pan stripped (heavy carbon build-up, rusty) as well as a carbon steel wok properly seasoned. I emailed some pictures of my pans and got a quote less than an hour later.

    After delivering my pans (met locally), the service took a few days, but the pans looked awesome! He got rid of all of the rust and all of the buildup around the cast-iron pan. I was able to cook immediately with my wok and it had a great non-stick coating after seasoning.

    Fantastic service, I’ll be sure to bring any new pans to “Dad Does Dishes”!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ · 9/12/26

    Marc did a wonderful job restoring my old family heirloom cast iron Dutch oven and skillets- I am blown away by how different they look now (brand new look), since years (more than 70 years) of thick carbon buildup are so difficult to remove. I am so happy! He is super friendly, professional and very responsive. Price- worth it!
