Picked it up for a song recently. I suspect it to be a BSR but it's kind of weird. Also, why is it so clean and skinny? It looks like aluminum but it's labeled as CI.

It seems like the FDA has approved nickel plating for cooking, with the worst of it being for those who are allergic to nickel (like myself!). I am going to put at least two layers of seasoning over it. I imagine it shouldn't be a problem, but at the very least I'll talk to the customer about it before I sell.
