Can this unit handle cast iron with out damage from weight? I do so hope that it will.

I have not used cast iron on the two burner cooktop I have, but it should hold up as long as you don't use a huge, heavy one. And as long as a magnet will stick to the pan used, it will work on induction cooktops. I have used large stainless steel soup kettles, full of soup, with no problem.

Cast iron works fine. I have a 10 inch cast iron skillet and a 9 inch. No problem.

I almost exclusively use cast iron and have had no problem. I love my cast iron and they work great on this.

Oh, yeah. Cast iron can handle the high heat. You're gonna love the grill marks. It's really the way to go.

It depends on how you hang it. If it is anchored into studs, you should be fine. You'll want to check the weight limit on the anchors you buy, but it should be fine. Ours as anchored into studs and we have 2 cast irons that we hang from it - one is small, and the other is a little larger, but we don't have any very large/heavy pans we hang from it.

Yes it can and these are every bit as good as their cast iron. We will be buying more of them.

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!

I use this to melt large quantities of lead into ingots for bullet casting. I use an 8qt cast iron dutch oven. Filled with 177lb of lead alloy, in the 18lb dutch oven for a total weight of 195lbs, this burner doesn't so much as wiggle. I bet I could stand on the full pot and it'd support it fine (and I'm not a small guy.) I'm very happy with it.

It should hold cast iron cookware. But, I would not overload it. It is smaller then I would of liked for a grill.

I think it would work great, magnets stick to cast iron so instead of just the magnet going thru it, it should work fine.

Hello,This is a good product for grilling burgers, chicken, steak etc. directly on the grate. I have never used it with cast iron pans. I think depending on how heavy the pan is, it may be ok. If you put too much weight on the grill, it may start to loosen up the spike that you bang in the ground that holds it in place. If you put a rock or something to support it on the opposite side of the spike, it should be ok

Sounds defective to me... I tested my unit and the outer surface was cool while the inner was way too hot. I could never get it up to temperature. I think waring needs to address the problems with this unit. I was so disappointed in its poor performance. i couldn't get mine to season properly either (I've seasoned lots of cast iron before). I sent mine back as defective.

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.

I used a 12-inch cast iron skillet with no problems, after ensuring the support post was securely in the ground.

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.

Yes. The key words in the description are "stainless steel". That & cast Iron work.

Yes it will, but keep in mind that this is not for continuous use. Do not leave the iron switched on for long time.
