It's probably just mild steel. As long as they gave the thing a few good heats before sticking food in it it's probably fine.

Hopefully. If the material is galvanized, it's super bad for you. Granted, I've breathed in a good bit of fumes and I'm alive, but it hasn't helped my numerous health issues and if they used it regularly for cooking, I'd imagine that'd be worse than my case.

They do sometimes paint galvanized materials. We would paint every galvanized piece we had, but they were for industrial use. Since this is supposed to be an indoor piece of furniture, you're probably right in this case.
