Do you have to use oil on the iron?

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.

I use a very small amount of oil. The iron surface is teflon and may not need it,but I wanted to insure the waffles didn't stick.

It helps if you bake the cookware after oiling it. You should not use too much oil, just enough to put a thin coat on it & not run.

You definitely need to oil it well before use! I let the oil sink in on all sides overnight before wiping and use.

If you put the oil on damp hair and then dry and straighten it should be ok. Don't leave iron on a section to long.

No it won't rust and no oiling needed I wouldn't use it on enamel cast iron it may leave marks on it

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

It is low carbon steel, so it will rust if you expose it to moisture. It comes with a thin coat of oil that keeps it protected fine, but if you use it you probably should oil it. (decorative: no you don't have to oil it) (Use it in some unspecified manner: yes, oil it.)

I brushed oil on it for the first use to season it...but no oil after that. I guess you could try it, but the instructions say to season it.

I have been using mine for a few weeks now, and no, I didn't oil it at all. It's working great!

Its recommended to oil the blades before use. This oils it as well so no but you have to oil it before the next usage.

No it doesn't but any grease burns off on cast iron plate before it can drip out.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

To avoid the rancidity, try a more common method by simply oiling with your choice after each use ( I like to use olive or vegetable personally). This will maintain the seasoning of the cast iron pots post use and lock in the quality flavor in your cooking the more you use it.

You don't have to but it is recommended. Using distilled water prevents calcium buildup in the iron.

I had no problem ironing, any set in wrinkles I just put a damp cloth over and then ironed. As far as grease I always use a product called "Goo Gone" spray it on a stain and wash as usual. If you have never used it you will wonder how you ever lived without it. Takes off stickers on products, gum etc. You can find it in the cleaning isle of most grocery stores. Hope this helps:)
