Do you need to rinse / wash this before cooking, or is it pre-washed?

I never have tried to rinse it, and have found no reason to wish I had. Three sets of instructions on the package just call for "adding teff" with no mention of rinsing or soaking it first.

I just cook it. I doubt that you could find a mesh fine enough to wish it it; these seeds ae VERY small!

I used it as is, but didn't like the taste as much as other grains. I prefer rice or quinoa, but the teff was okay.

It is like any other whole grain (oats, wheat, etc.). No need to do anything other cook it.

No. I just lightly wash it with a sponge and a mild solution of Dawn dish washing detergent, rinse and dry. (Also, I try not to leave the empty pan on a very hot burner for any length of time. I don't think that is good for any pan -- especially a non-stick pan.)

No. I have even washed mine in the dishwasher. It is high quality. I love it!

no, I just hand washed and started using it. This is my 2nd pot and I love it.

I never put mine in the dishwasher. I just wash with soap and water, and let it dry thoroughly. Easy peasy.

You may wash this item both ways. I enjoy mine as it cooks very well and the food is very tasty. Well worth the money. Enjoy!

Does not have to be seasoned - wash with soap and water. Just remember that this is in no way a non stick pan - you need use oil or butter or whatever - otherwise you will have a lot of scrubbing to do!

Well I always hand wash-if you use in the dishwasher I would take out before the drying cycle as it is so hot. Once a week I use vinegar and water to "deep" clean and you might use just one color for meat.

I washed it with mild detergent, dried well and sprayed Pam on the cooking surface. Be sure to use utensils for non stick cookware.Mine is still working fine.

I washed mine by hand. Probably you can place it in the dishwasher where it will be steemed.

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did just to be safe. I boiled mine for a few minutes before using it the first time and wash it out each time after with hot, soapy water.

You need to wash it before you use it (per instructions...so read the laundry instructions [hand wash or machine wash]) and wash as you feel its needed.

I just hand wash mine, if it needs scrubbed I use a plastic mesh scrubber. I've never treated it for non-stick since they're ceramic coated interior. Not had any issues with sticking as long as the food isn't burnt to it.

To build on the prior answer, after first use I would recommend washing only with hot water and a soft kitchen brush to remove any bits of food. Use no soap as it will leave a taste.

So far I have only washed it by hand, but it's supposed to be top shelf dishwasher safe. Hope this helped. Cheers!

Hello. Wash before first use and after each use in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
