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.....?

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
