do you have to treat it with oil before first use?

I would use organic coconut oil and a little organic bees wax melted together. Just rub it in well and buff. That's what I use on my cutting boards and it helps to preserve the wood.

No I never did. I out mine in the dish washer and it ages like any used wooden spoon which in my opinion makes it better. It is a little big so have a large cocktail shaker in metal or you will hate it. If large it works nice.

I have not, and I have not had any problems thus far after quite a few months of use. No idea long term (yet). That said, I am an amateur cocktail maker and a professional with more knowledge on the matter might be able to provide a different view.

YES, you do need to boil it upon first use. Then let it air dry for a few hours. Otherwise, tons of little black pieces will be in your water and it may not remove all the impurities.

I washed my set before using it but don't think I really had to. I'm just a little anal about cleanliness. As to food grade mineral oil...that is what I use but am sure you'd be able to use olive oil also without any problem.Hope this helps.

We generally warm the pan before adding oil or butter but you can also warm it with oil on it, i don't think it will spoil the pan or food!

I used tablets to sanitize it. If your oil is hot I would say no and even if cold no.

Yes - flour. I wouldn't use oil because you shouldn't really wash it, just brush off with a dry towel.

I treated with the mineral oil and began using the following day. I've treated it a fre times over the last year and have used it within a few hours on occasion.

Yes, I used oil the first time as per the manufactures instructions and then a little each time I make a waffle per the instructions on the mix or recipe, so far this is the best waffle maker I have ever used.

It comes oiled already, but you will have to buy oil the first time you clean it

No, you do not need to heat it before each use. Only before the first use to set the bite for your teeth. Then it's just a matter of cleaning after each use.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

I have not cleaned it yet as a very small amount of water/oil is left after use.

The instructions say you should & I did. I used soap & water & let mine soak for a few hours. I also used some lemon peels, sea salt & oil to prepare it for my first use. Cleaned that out, & I love mine!
