I think some studies are just done to panic people. You would probably get more iron from red meat or spinach than you would from cooking in cast iron. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Mike. Stay safe and stay warm

Spot on with every point Mike. I just will not use teflon coated pans anymore, and with older pans you can see where the coating has worn away quite easily, where has that gone? We now have 2 Lodge pans and 1 Victoria, these get used daily now, and we feel better for it. 😀

@@jerrym3261 We have the Lodge Blacklock skillets, and we purchased these because they are lighter and have longer handles than the normal Lodge skillets. I nearly ordered the 12” Blacklock 2 weeks ago, and then heard of Victoria. Very well designed, the handle is much nicer to hold than the Lodge, and the main point was in Australian dollars, $159.00 for the Lodge Blacklock, $71.00 for the Victoria, great price and quality. The Victoria is heavier than the same size Blacklock pan as well if this is a concern.

@@raywise Thanks for your reply. Weight isn't much of a concern for me. The reason I will sometimes use a lighter skillet is that it changes heat quicker, slows cooking quicker. I haven't seen or held a Victoria so kind of a mystery. I have seen and held Blacklocks and I think I'm not interested in having one because they are much different from what I'm used to. Even though Blacklocks are made in the US and Victorias are imported from Columbia, a Blacklock 12 is $80US and a Victoria 12 can be had for $25US so, bigger price difference than for you. My interest in Victorias came about because I'm looking at Ecuador with thoughts of moving there. Moving and importing the cast iron I have doesn't make sense if I can get Victoria that is made so close to Ecuador, might even make a trip to the Victoria factory. I have been to the Lodge factory in South Pittsburg, Tennessee a few times. I like seeing a lot of cast iron in one place.

@@MrCastIron I'll be on the way to Muscle Sholes Al. tomorrow for a cast iron sale Friday, back home for a Saturday sale and another in Atlanta on the 8th. I live north of Chattanooga so that will be the farthest I've traveled so far. The closer ya get to the Mississippi River you'll see pieces that are rare in East Tennessee. I collect nice old pieces mainly from 1900 - 1962ish. I put them in electrolysis and re-season them for future generations. I finished a Wagner high base waffle iron today that was patented in 1910. I would rank it 9.5 out of 10. I'll have to pick up more Lodge skillet seconds to turn into spatulas on the way back through South Pittsburg.. The grilling crowd go for the cast iron spatulas and the sale of those pays my way. (well it helps) Is eating from cast iron safe? Oh heck no unless you want to end up like me. lol

I'd say it's a whole lot healthier to cook with a cast iron skillet than it would be to end wearing it up long side the head cuz ya said something about how your wife's new jeans fit. Just an FYI. Now that we are all in agreement on that I'm sure. What I've read is the top 3 safest skillets are, Cast Iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Common denominator is, none of the 3 are coated with any chemicals. Makes sense. TYFS

If you keep your cast iron properly seasoned it will not develop rust spots or rust. That would be a metallic iron which is not good for you even without the homocroma... that is neglect on the cooks part and if rust is present should never be cooked with til spot or cast iro. Is cleaned and reseasoned

Great question, Jim! Yes, a well-seasoned skillet doesn’t release as much as one that’s not. But the thing is that it doesn’t release excessive amounts of iron, so for the majority of people, it’s not going to be an issue!
