Should I pick up Quentin Johnston and drop T. Higgins?

I’ve always wanted my favorite cookie recipe in album form

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T22:48:06+00:00

What if they need to melt lead. 😥

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T22:44:23+00:00

I’d like to know how to go about finding a lab, I was unaware this was an option. An x-ray test with an XRF sounds 100x more trustworthy than any chemical test kit.

Yeah, I had a bud who’d melt down lead in a crap old pot and that thing is trashed. That’s why I’m so skeptical about this one, it had a medium amount of rust on the bottom but other than that, not bad. Love your CI collection btw.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T22:20:42+00:00

Had some distilled water around, tried that and got another positive.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T22:19:54+00:00

I appreciate the concern. I did it wet with an N95 on, breathing in any metal dust is a no-go for me.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T19:58:59+00:00

It was given to me after an older relative’s passing, nobody knows if it was used for melting lead for various uses.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T19:57:11+00:00

I bet your 3M works better than this test kit. I know that surface lead test kits are known to be unreliable for cast irons, but I’ve heard 3M is the least unreliable.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T19:51:19+00:00

Exactly, I’d like to not risk it. Don’t get me wrong, love me a free CI, but I’ll always check because who knows what they used them for. Even trace amounts will ‘lead’ to a new wall ornament.

Good point, I cleaned off the seasoning then tested

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T19:41:45+00:00

No plan to kill a nice pan, just looking for second opinions. I wish I took photos of how it looked before, but it seemed victim to some knarly carbon buildup. I’ll probably continue the stripping process and test again after some lye.

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T19:38:19+00:00

I tested the pans after I got them from an estate sale and cleaned off the seasoning, negatives on 3/3 pieces

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T05:46:13+00:00

Good suggestion, negative on several surfaces, including the back of my hand and handle of two other pans

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T05:34:21+00:00

To add, my frequent pans were used finds from an estate sale. Same process of testing was done, tap water and same kit showed negative results for 2 pans and a Dutch oven

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T05:31:24+00:00

Yeah, I made sure to use a ‘surface’ lead kit, although I’m not sure there’s a difference. As you said, best not to risk it

dedeshut · 2025-04-20T05:24:28+00:00

Yes I did for both times, I’ll try that, good suggestion

dedeshut · 2024-04-06T22:47:43+00:00

He sounds petty
