Hi Ron,
I do not believe that a properly 'seasoned' Iron Skillet
would be found to leach...or, if used respectfully...
And unless one use them all the time, it is very unlikely
they would be properly seasoned.
When I was cooking a lot, I used the same few skillets for
their respective tasks pretty much daily, and they were
seasoned impeccibly. Now that I almost never cook on the
Stove top, I would doubt their quality of being seasoned
well enough to qualify.
It is one of those things...
Too, what are the observable symptoms of Haemochromatosis?
How would one know one suffers from it?
