Does this come with instructions for seasoning? And a recipe booklet by any chance?

It's been awhile but as I recall, it does come with a little insert thing that talks about how to season it --- basically by grinding dry corn or beans and baking it. I also ground used dried garlic, comino seeds and dried onion . I will say this though...to get a really great finish is going take time and repeated applications...if you are in a great hurry, you might want something else. In my mind, these are heirloom pieces of kitchenware that are meant to last a lifetime and passed down. They get better with age! Recipe booklet...not one that I remember, sorry...but any combo of yumminess will work. Just rinse out after the fact and bake dry thoroughly. Luck!

Instructions on seasoning, but not a recipe book. It's an awesome product! We have been using it a lot this summer :)

Mine did not. However, there are a ton of instructions online as well as recipes. I used only dry white rice for a couple of hours on and off. I had none of the issues others spoke of with flakes of the bowl coming off. I then used salt, lime juice and garlic with cilantro and squished it into a paste. I let the paste sit for several hours once mashed up. I then wiped out the paste and put the molcajete in the oven on 350 for about 30 minutes and let it cool down in there as well. After it was cool, I rinsed it out (NO SOAP!!) and let it air dry. I use mine mainly for guac and salsa, so the spices I used to season it are what I use in the mixes as well. Good luck!

Yes, there is a small- aprox. 4" X 6" booklet, about 60 pgs. First 24 pgs. are Instructions for Use...the rest is recipes.

I am sorry, I have no knowledge of recipes. I just use it for grilling, like hot dogs or Korean bbq style meats.

No special preparation like cast iron seasoning. Just a long preheat before you use it every time. It's very thick takes a long time to get to cooking temperature.

i have never used a recipe book. I use the cooker for beer-can chicken(2) or roasting a turkey.

It comes with a booklet with instructions (English/ Spanish). Additionally, Char-Broil sells it in its web site.

It has an instruction booklet but it is only the basics. There are many great books available and the internet is a fabulous source for recipes. Have fun!

It did not come with a book of recipes. However, in the instruction booklet that comes with the skillet there are directions for different types of food and the temperatures to use. Cook books come with cooking instructions and you can transpose those to use with your skillet. I hope this helps you.

That's strange. There was a small booklet in mine that contained basic instructions for how to set it up. There was even a small cookbook with a handful of recipes in there as well. If yours didn't come with this documentation, you might want to return it for a different one, because it seems that your packaging is incomplete.

no, this is just a recipe kit. The only thing extra that comes with it are the bottle caps.

It was fine for me. There is a slight learning curve though. Yes, i do believe it comes with recipe book & tips.

It may have a small booklet. Pinterest has some great ideas! Amazon also sells a recipe book.

The initial seasoning is a tad complex - I suggest you google it. Once you have done the initial seasoning, this product is excellent.

There is an instruction booklet. There is a recipe book you can buy that goes with it. Another kitchen retailer will sometimes offer the recipe book with purchase but the Amazon price on the steamer was better.

It doesnt need recipe booklet ..You just need to know how many cups of water needed and how long should i cook(number of whistles)..These you get to know by few trials..Usually twice amount of water and 1-2 whistles..

Mine did not include any recipes. I have tried several different recipes (internet recipes.com) and they all came out great. I did have a slight issue with it sticking to the pan. I think the more and more I continue to use it this issue will improve.

When I bought this one, it came with a small booklet of recipes and I believe that one (the fish and veggies) was included in the booklet. I am currently in the process of moving and my recipes are packed or I would look it up for you. If nobody has answered this question by the time I get unpacked, I'll post an updated response with the name of the recipe.
