Do you have to oil the inside? I'm on an oil-free diet recommended by my physician. Thank you!

We use a bit of sesame oil on a paper towel and rub it on the inside. But we use water on our hands to keep the rice from sticking, so hypothetically I would think you could just use water on the inside too.

I am new to the deep frying thing, so could you recommend the "right" oil? Thanks!

hi if you are cooking something with a high fat content then no but if it is not high in fat then yes but you only need to brush a bit of oil on the plate. hope this helps

Good question. Don't tell anyone, but I use oil in my Anolon skillet and it hasn't hurt a thing. :)

Yes. You will need some kind of liquid. Not much. I use a small amount of olive oil.

There is no inside container. You have to dump the oil from the entire container into something to strain or get rid of. There is a metal basket that you put the food into. We really like it since it is so small and you don't need to use much oil and can do small amounts of food!

The directions didn't say not to, so I am choosing to use any oil I would like. I am just making sure to clean it often as the directions state. (Every 10 hours of use)

Wash then lightly rub with olive oil. Wipe out excessing oil. You really don't need to do that (the oil) but we thought it a good idea.

I would Goggle this , but from what I have read you do NOT ingest the oils. Some oils say you can but I would NOT since they are so concentrated you could become ill.

Neither you just oil . I believe there was some instruction with. I purchased mine a couple of years ago and I use it every night with lavender oil.

I'm a 61 year old female with NO oil left in my skin, so I can't really address your concern. My skin drinks up everything without any problem, but it's a great oil and very beneficial. My suggestion if you purchase it is to put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Mine became rancid and I had to unfortunately pitch it before it was empty. My mistake.

Yes, inside and out.... OK, on a more serious note ; yes, there is a small bottle of oil that comes with it. Depending on how long you intend to run it you may want to order a separate bottle of appropriate oil.

No. The oil is encased in the heater. No muss, no fuss! It's a great heater!

Have never needed to use oil,I really like this product,it's rare any more for me to find something that works like it claims.I do not see oil doing any harm to this product.

Often I use no oil at all and food comes out great! For homemade french fries, sweet potato fries, etc. I usually just spray a fine mist of oil using the included mister bottle. Olive oil works good as I'm sure other healthy oils would as well to add to the crispness. I do weight watchers and the small amount of oil I use for the frying aspect is not a significant source of calories.

It says no in the instructions, but I have been using some oils that do have a little bit of citrus in them. But no single, citrus only oils. Just be sure to always rinse and wipe the inside after every use.
