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.....?

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
