I really don't know. I do use it on the aluminum wheels on my car with no problems,

You shouldn't use any CHEMICAL on cast iron. I use super clean, diluted on our smoker, anything stainless steel. Don't use it on painted dials, ie like your BBQ front. It will take the paint off. But for the most part if you used a very diluted solution on the OUTSIDE of your cast iron, rinsed it really well, wipe dry and RE OIL the outside really good,you should be ok. I'd still test a spot first!!

Mine has a lot of weight on it, but no one piece is cast iron. I would suspect that it would have no trouble with that, assuming that the bar is firmly anchored from its ends. It is an extremely sturdy, heavy-duty piece.

No it does not, however, it heats FAST, however, I loved the iron but it quit working after only 4 months. The return process is a pain, but I am getting mine replaced though the cost of replacement is nearly the cost of the iron after cutting the plug off, returning it and the $8.00 postage to have it replaced, not to mention the postage of returning the product itself.

No it doesn't but any grease burns off on cast iron plate before it can drip out.

Yes. One thing about cast iron is that you can subject it to tremendous heat. It works well from the stove top to the oven because the pot has been preheated first. Enjoy!

No it does not. Flax, raspberries and strawberry seeds all still need to be chewed.

It will not scratch th element. If iron cookware and its content is too heavy the element support will sag or break and will touch the oven liner.

It is impossible for cast iron to "peel" or smell like "diesel fuel" . There is no coating except for the "seasoning" which is any type of cooking oil...I use olive oil to cook and season with.Not everyone knows how to cook with cast iron. Be sure to research it a bit more. Cooking with cast iron is very healthy and rewarding, but you better be willing to maintain it or else it will rust.

I'm not sure but it sure works well and cast iron is safer than aluminum and stick free coatings in my view

I don't think it will eat that. It'll close but it'll open back up again in a few minutes. If you feed it anything it's gotta be something that will struggle a little bit; that encourages the trap to stay closed. You can let it fend for itself, or get small ants or similar bugs and feed those to it.

Yes it does. It heats up really fast too. I love this iron, it was worth every penny. It has never spit water at me ever.

It does, but it not the problem with this useless iron. It leaks like there is no tomorrow. After trying three different samples of this model and a few other Rowenta models, I have given up on them. When I called customer service to let them know of the issue and why they are losing customers, all I got was defensive responses vs. trying to understand true customer issues. This brand is not what it used to be.... Switched brands now (to Electrolux) after 20 years with Rowenta and couldn't be happier. No issues for ~ 6 months now.
