Cast Iron Cookware - safety and care

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

A dept. store nearby is selling cast iron cookware at great prices, and I am

thinking

about getting some.

What is the deal with the safety of cast iron cookware?

Does iron leech into foods?

What kind of foods are safe to cook in cast iron?

Also, what about care and maintenance?

How often do they have to be seasoned, and with what?

The packaging says that these are " pre-seasoned " - I assume they would have used

vegetable oil (yuck !).

How can I undo that seasoning and use my own?

Any ideas welcome.
