Due to the oils/fats used in the process of Pre-Seasoned Iron Skilett, it requires kashering with Libun Chomur prior to first use- then you can season it on your own.
Some other manufacturers, such as Lodge Cast Iron, which is the leading US manufacturer of cast iron cookware, formerly used Kosher-certified oil in the seasoning process. They now use non-kosher soy-based vegetable oil to season their cast iron skillets in the factory. Lodge has removed all indication on their website denoting their cast iron cookware is Kosher certified.
When you bought your Lodge Logic pre-seasoned cast iron skillet, if it stated “kosher certified oil” on the packaging, then you know kosher certified oil was used in the pre-seasoning process in the factory, and you have kosher cast iron cookware.
If there is no “Kosher certified oil” notation on the packaging that kosher-certified oil was used in the seasoning process, then your cast iron skillet is not kosher.

A nice discussion.
Would you eat anything that the COMPANY says its Kosher????? As in a Plain "K" ?????
On this Site even if Rabbonim and experienced mashgichim say its OK , Yudel wouldn't touch it so why is the Lodge Company better ?!?!?!?!
Teikoo. Kashyah.
Staub cast iron is known not to preseason their pots and is Kosher as is.
Also Calphalon grill pans are not seasoned as the following letter from the company indicates. ( It not cast iron but you can grill in it as the name implies.
Dear ,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Calphalon. We truly appreciate your interest in our products. The Contemporary Nonstick grill pan is not preseasoned. The interior has a nonstick coating and your preferred cooking oil can be used in the pan.
If I can be of further assistance, please reply to this email directly so that we can see all previous replies.
Sincerely,
Ana

I noticed a full line of pre-seasoned cast iron pots/pans in Amazing Savings with a Hechsher (I don't recall which hechsher as I wasn't buying them). Do you know anything about them?
What is the non-stick they use? is it kosher certified?
BTW- The Ramah in Shulchan Uruch says we must ask only "mumchim", then Rabbonim may rule based on the facts presented by the "Mumchim". The Ruv is not the Mumcha.
The ones from amazing savings are ok certified with kosher for Passover soybean oil. Boggles the mind a bit
This post was about cast iron pans.
Your implying that if a Company makes a statement that would be considered "MUMCHIM".
Thus a plain "k" as the comment above commented would be fine and acceptable becuase it comes from a "MUMCHA" who has precedence over the Rabbonim sin,as you say, they are NOT MUMCHIM (C"V).
Just asking, SIR.
Boggles the mind a bit
Boggles who's mind?
Soybean oil is mutar on pesach, at least in theory (Strictly Halacha), since it is "Yotzay min Kitneyous" and not kitneyous itself.
However, the food manufacturers have succeeded in "bluffing" the consumer that this is 'oosir' as well and thus made lots and lots of money during the Pesach season.
If you know it's soy, why do you think it's not kosher? The OU says 9 out of 10 deodorizers (the hot part of oil manufacturing, i.e. the kosher sensitive part) in the US are used for vegetable oil only. Teisha chanuyos...
They used to say "every amerkaner hut a kleiner chazer in boich", now they could say "a groiser chazer". 10% times 100 times, makes a big chaser, Bi'tai'ovoin" heart appetite.
