Your pan is an ingredient.
At Ironclad, every pour is tested to ensure our cast iron is pure enough to cook with. That might sound obvious, but it isn’t. Over the years, we’ve tested samples of discount cast iron to see how they manage such low prices—and found ingredients we wouldn’t want anywhere near our food.
In Australia and New Zealand, the cast iron industry remains unregulated, with no specific standards for "Food Grade Cast Iron." While we are working to change that, it is currently up to each manufacturer to ensure their products are safe.
At Ironclad, we test to meet the highest standards currently available globally. In Germany, our cookware complies with LFGB standards, and in America, it meets both FDA regulations and California Proposition 65 requirements.
