Cast Iron Classic Cast Iron Skillets vs Ironware Co Cast Iron Skillet No 12: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Iron leaching into food, Rust formation and corrosion and Thermal shock and cracking on the Lodge and not on the Smithey.
• We flag Iron leaching at low pH, Thermal degradation of seasoning and Rust and corrosion if neglected on the Smithey and not on the Lodge.
• The Lodge is cast iron (bare or seasoned with oil) where the Smithey is Cast iron, seasoned with oil, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
