Angle grinder with grinding stone follow by a wire brush attachment or sand
blasting would make it pretty. Looks like rust, should dry it first than put
a light coating of grease before putting it in storage. That's what I would
do for my tools but for cookware, YMMV.

Also if its stored in an unheated and damp area like a basement, corrosion
could be problem.
