Removing Finishes
Any way to remove a vitreous enamel coating from enameled cookware besides abrasive blasting
or abrasives and elbow grease?

Re: Removing Finishes
I would expect media blasting and elbow grease, but there are lots of links with respect to enamel removal so perhaps something that is not a complete hair burner is available. I've no experience with any or I would point at something directly.
"Aircraft stripper will have nothing on vitreous enamel. It is powdered glass melted onto steel."
So yeah, I'd expect to work up a sweat.

Re: Removing Finishes
Oxy acetylene torch might shift it, careful not to get the pan glowing too red though and you might not wanna breathe the fumes in

Re: Removing Finishes
Actually might be worth a try, sharp flat chisel and a hammer, see if it chips off?

The math isn't that difficult.
It is a frying pan.
Cambridge English Dictionary
frying pan: 1. a flat metal pan with a long handle, used for frying food
There exists a hot dip method of removal but it is impractical since I don't have nor have access
to the necessary equipment.
Sandblasting appears to be the simplest method.

Re: Removing Finishes
The issue with a chipped enamel cooking surface is the risk of ingesting enamel chips.
This skillet has several issues related to the enamel and it has to go.

Angle grinder, flap disc, and respirator?
The insides looked finish free on that one, having nothing but outside corners is a game changer.
