I've never even considered this as a potential history for a used pan. Thanks for the post.
Yeah this one is a heads up - I've always thrifted and sourced my pans at flea markets. I would imagine that sandblasting the pan and re seasoning might mitigate?
I think no, but I'm not an expert here. I can find no articles with a statement for or against that aren't opinion pieces or reddit threads.
I'd err on the side of caution but this would be a good experiment and follow up video on YT
