Is there a danger in buying "pre seasoned" cast iron pans?

Used is obviously out of the question, but it seems like most new cast iron pans come "pre seasoned", like this one:

In the description it says that it's pre seasoned with "vegetable oil"...Is this something I should worry about? Is there any possibility that the vegetable oil contains gluten or was cross contaminated in any way?

I wouldn't worry about it.  but if you need a cast iron pan, you can "bake" the new or used one in an oven on the self-clean cycle.  Then you can season them yourself

Glorious thing about cast iron.....pretty much the only cookware you can very efficiently and easily decontaminate them. You can destroy the gluten protein at over 500F.....as mentioned by kareng the oven self clean cycle. It is like blood ie a protein.....very, very high heat destroys the protein chains that make it up.

I would not worry about it.  I got a new Lodge frying pan and just did a quick rinse and used it.   I retired my Grandfather’s crusted old cast iron skillet that was close to 100 years old after my celiac disease diagnosis.  I did not want to risk it breaking if I stuck it in a super hot oven.  It will go to the next generation of chicken fryers.  

Get a matching lid.  I can go from stove to oven in a flash.  It makes the best chicken, pork or juicy burgers (way better than my grille in the backyard).  Just do not make cornbread in a pan that you make spaghetti sauce in.....?

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
