I bought a cast iron pan in Israel about a year ago. I assumed it was kosher because I bought it from a Jewish, Israeli store but now I'm having second thoughts and feeling worried. (I've used it many times...) I'm not in Israel anymore so I can't go back to the store to double check.
Anybody have any insights? Thoughts?

It most likely needs to be toiveled. There are very few items here that were only made and owned by Jews. Those that are are often of lower quality.

Are you sure it was preseasoned? I don't think any of the cast iron I've bought here was preseasoned.

I am not sure. I didn't think it was at the time but I recently watched a food blogger say that kosher cast irons have never been available and I guess that's what planted the seed of doubt in my head. I don't think it said that it wasn't seasoned but I assumed it wasn't. Does that make sense?

I think a big selling point for US made cast iron is the seasoning, but I don't believe the same goes for all cast iron, everywhere. Personally I've always stripped and seasoned my pans myself. My latest baby I use for dairy and I really ground down the surface well, before seasoning it, and it's amazing how well it works.
In any case, I think if you're especially concerned, if you have a self cleaning setting in your oven, that should be enough to "cook off" the seasoning (I googled the subject and COR has an informative page about kashering cast iron).

Thank you so much! I'll do that.

I recently read (can't remember where) that at kosher fest they showed an ok certified cast iron pan. I thought that was brilliant!
Anyone have any information about this? Where can I get one?
