Not concerned about the chromium and vanadium present in most cast iron?

I'm not deeply into that topic, but the pan I use that's made of iron was 'burned-in' using linseed oil several times to create a non-sticky surface. Whatever that has as negative side-effects aside, that layer might trap the iron additives quite effectively.

Chromium is a nutrient. Unclear if it is necessary or not.
