Not to create further panic but you should know that the bright coloured paints in the enamel of those ceramic/cast iron pans will often contain lead and/or cadmium, which are both carginogenics. The whole thing is obviously sealed but who knows what happens when they chip.
As far as I see it with my paranoia hat on, there are only three safe options:
1. Cast iron unseasoned (and you do the seasoning)
2. Stainless steel (w/ no coatings)
3. Borosilicate glass (with no painting or markings)
- guerrilla 4y agoIf you google cast iron you will see no colors. > 1. Cast iron unseasoned (and you do the seasoning) It's usually just grapeseed oil and you have to season further anyway...
- DoingIsLearning 4y agoGrandparent's comment mentions enameled cast iron ("ceramic/cast iron pans") which are nothing but colourful. If I have to season it anyway I might as well not have an unknown oil that might 'usually' be grapeseed.
