Picked up my first vintage iron from someone on FB today. Excited to get it cleaned up and see how it compares to my Lodge skillets.

Is there a good way to test for lead easily?
Instant test strips from home improvement stores. E.g. https://www.homedepot.com/p/PRO-LAB-Lead-Surface-Test-Kit-LS104/100117326
They're often free from local health departments, state/county
Even better!
