Are you supposed to wet it before you heat it?What happens if you wet it, and heat it?

Have never wet it so I do not know what would happen. Should be info with the package.

NO! It is filled with rice. When you take it out of the microwave it will feel dampbecause the heating drives out some of the moisture. It will pick up what moisture it needs the next day just sitting around.

I haven't tried wetting it. It heats nicely as it comes and seems to generate "moist" heat on its on.

Oh no - should never wet it! Doesn't need water to create moist heat. Contains "100% natural grains" according to the box. Smells good when heated, but I imagine they would go bad very quickly if wet. You can clean the cover with a damp cloth if necessary. Better yet, wrap it in a clean, light-weight towel to keep it clean.

The instructions say nothing about wetting it. I don't think it's supposed to be wet - and I haven't tried it.

Nope. It's from it drying out and "burning". Just re-wet it if it's dried out.

I never heated it in water. It is as moist as I feel I need after heating in the microwave. I would think that it would be ruined if it were heated in water.

No you do not. The case is stove safe, heat at low temperature till is liquid.

The truth is, it really depends on what you would want to do. I have cleaned it while it was scalding hot and when it was cooled down. It might be easiest and quicker to clean when it is hot.

Be careful putting water on top. I did it but you have to make sure there's water on it all the time. Same rules as a stove apply here.

You do not need to soak it. It is amazing. The material inside when heated , produces moisture.Hope that helps :)

Need to heat up the grate after using and or cleaning- do not let it air dry. then apply the oil. Must dry in a warm spot.

Yes, just give it a rinse and pre heat to high before grilling. Before grilling each subsequent time, be sure to clean with a good grill brush.

No, I just spray it with a little cooking spray and have had no problems at all! I live these pans!

You do not soak in water before use, as you heat it in the microwave the moisture is drawn out of the beads inside the pack. I place my pad on a paper plate before putting in the microwave to heat up and there is always a small amount of moisture on the plate before I wrap it on myself. This heat pad is washable. Follow the directions on the packaging and make sure that it is dry before you heat to use it again.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

Pre heat first time. wipe with good cooking oil let cool. only need to wipe clean after use.

I have not used it that way, but the directions do say that the outer cover can be wetted for moist heat.

I wouldn't worry about boiling it. Wash it 2-3 times before use, drying in between. Made them perfectly fluffy.

I don't have a dutch oven, but I do have a roaster.One of the instructions that came with the pan said not to put the hot pan in water after using...to let it cool before washing it. I assume the same instructions would apply to your dutch oven.

Need to pre-heat the water before pouring it in, and the foot bath keeps it at that temperature while you have it going.
