FAQ
Are there any heavy metals in these pans?
Season Cast Iron pans have been tested for 24 of the most common heavy metals (including the most toxic: lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic) and no traces have been found.
Cast iron isn’t pure iron—it’s an alloy, rich in carbon and silicon, which gives it durability, heat retention, and castability. These elements are essential to both the manufacturing process and the way the pan performs in the kitchen. Other elements like phosphorus and sulfur are also typically present as natural impurities.
Cast iron is widely regarded as a safe and reliable material for cookware. But if you’re looking to avoid trace elements altogether, our Season Tri-Ply Stainless Steel range is a strong alternative. Just note that, unlike cast iron, it won’t develop a seasoned non-stick surface over time.
