Doesn't this involve cooking oil into harmful polymers?
- gessha 2y agoI use high-temperature oils in general so I’m not sure if those get turned into harmful polymers. Do you know of any studies on that?
- nlehuen 2y agoI found this article to be interesting and well sourced: https://examine.com/articles/are-cast-iron-pans-unsafe/ https://examine.com/articles/are-cast-iron-pans-unsafe/ It doesn't find documented evidence of harmful effects of oil seasoning. Buy likewise for Teflon coating in normal heat conditions. What I didn't expect is the part about iron leaching and its effects!
