What Does Refurbished, Remanufactured, Or Reconditioned Mean?

When you are shopping for consumer electronics or computer related products, chances are you've seen products labeled as refurbished, remanufactured or reconditioned.

Reconditioned Tool

All three terms mean the same thing, and they refer to the product being returned in less than 30 days, sent back to the manufacturer to be inspected, tested, repackaged, and then resold.
Most refurbished products have been sold, lightly used or not even used at all, and then returned. "Once an item is opened, it can't legally be sold as a new product. Often returns are sent back to the manufacturer to be refurbished. But sometimes a merchant's contract with the manufacturer doesn't allow returns or only allow so many. In that case the merchandise may go to a company known as a refurb house which cleans the items, checks them out and packs them in new boxes with manuals and accessories.

Reconditioned Tool

If you've ever returned a product at a big box electronics store within the 30 day return policy, the returned product will most likely go through this process and resold as refurbished.
Rest assured refurbished products are not defective and are tested to be in perfect working condition. Best yet, refurbished products sell for anywhere between 20% - 60% off the normal retail price of the product.

With the refurbished products a - billion dollar industry, refurbished products are a legitimate saving money option that many people consider. Even giving somebody a refurbished product isn't considered taboo. If you think about it, the receiver is receiving more bang for the buck!

    How Do I Treat A Cast Iron Skillet?

    FACTORY NEW: Cast iron pans fresh from the factory usually are treated with a coating to prevent them from rusting before they sell. This coating is not good to eat and it may contain plastic or wax, so it's a good idea to go over your pan with steel wool before seasoning the pan or using it for the first time. After scouring it with steel wool, wash your skillet or pan in hot soapy water and then place over heat until dry. After you have cleaned and dried your new pan, condition it before using.

    Reconditioned Tool

    RUST: If your pan or skillet is presently rusty, clean off the rust with steel wool first. You can recondition virtually any cast iron skillet or pot, no matter how yucky it is when you find it. After you have scoured off the rust, wash it and dry it over heat. Then condition your pan.

    Reconditioned Tool

    TO CONDITION: If it is new, recently cleaned with steel wool, or otherwise not greasy, you need to "season" or "condition" it first before cooking. To do this, put it on a hot burner, add a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil. Allow to get hot, then to cool, then wipe the oil all over, then wipe off any excess oil.

    TO CLEAN: There are different methods, but perhaps the best method is the one that never uses soap. Soap will strip the skillet of the oil, and it is supposed to have oil on it! Unlike other pans, a good cast iron piece will be black with residual oil. This prevents the pan from rusting and the metal from reacting with the food, and the oil also makes it work like a non-stick pan. So instead of soap, use salt to clean the pan. Coarse kosher salt is good for this purpose because it is the right coarseness and you can get a large box cheaply.

    When you're done cooking, rinse out your pan, dump in a tablespoon or two of salt and scrub the pan just with salt and water combined in a thick, grainy paste. Rinse, then put the pan on the burner again and heat to dry the pan before putting it away (so it doesn't rust). The pan still has oil on it but it's clean, so next time you cook you can just begin cooking without having to condition the pan again.
