How often do you have to cure and season it? (The top review makes it sound as if you have to spend days of work to prevent recipes from tasting like

It needs to be seasoned before using. This is an overnight process. I Googled how to do it & found a couple different food blogs & followed their instructions. Every time after that you make guacamole in the molcajete it becomes more seasoned, similar to cast iron cookware. Never wash the molcajete with soap, just rinse it with water & air dry.

I season mine three times a year with mineral oil. You don't want to use any cooking oil for it can turn rancid. I heat mine in the oven for about 20 minutes at 250 degrees. I take out (it will be hot so be careful). I set it on a heat resistant surface. I pour enough mineral oil into the vessel to cover the bottom. I take a few paper towels and wipe the interior and the exterior and let it sit overnight. The next morning, I take more towels and wipe off the excess and it is ready to use again. Hope this helps!

I've had that happen as well (once) and I'm not sure why. The last loaf I made though was perfect - maybe add 3-4 minutes onto the cooking time (??)

it needs to be seasoned more than once, and reseasoned occasionally, but it doesn't off-gas flurocarbons like the non stick pans, which are toxic if overheated

The instruction sheet does say to season it. It only takes a couple of minutes.

Yes you can and you can edit the recipe after it is on there. I wish it was easier to add my own recipe.

No, you will have to season the top yourself. Its a great unit in my opinion.

No, you have to be sure to use lots of oil or something to keep things from sticking. Or you need to season them not the same way you do a cast iron skillet.

I use the recipe on a website--not sure you can include URLs in comments here, but it's called Delightful Repast.

I can't tell you that, but it dependence in how you make it. I make it for breakfast and for lunch a few times a week for me and my husband and lasts a month or so. I hope it helped.

Brand new it works GREAT, once properly seasoned. After 3-4 months however its anti-stick properties drop off, and from then on its a HIGH MAINTENANCE surface where you have to re-season it regularly. I re-season mine as often as once a week.... Read my review where I go into details. But overall... NO, GO WITH TEFLON.

Probably forever, it took me 6+ hours to try to cook a turkey and it still wasn't done

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.

Pretty long. I used to buy a case once a month. Because the rolls are parbaked you have the option of cooking them as you go.

It depends on how often you bake, I bake once or twice a week. .and it lasts for months

I have not done that but I'm sure you could. The only issue I can think of with that is you might have to adjust your cooking time a little bit depending on how much you use.

I'm using Cook'n Version 11.3.1. I have loaded over 500 recipes in the last two weeks. I'm primarily doing a copy & past from my Paprika App on my iMac Computer. So I have not tried many of the functions as of this time. The following are some of my problems thus far: 1. My computer will freeze up about 5 times a day and I have to force quit and reopen Cook'n. 2. Also it will quit and close bye it self every other day. ( I do sent a report every time this happens) 3. I can't print what you see on the screen. The print command will change the background. 4. The PDF conversion in the print command will change the background theme from what you normally will see on the screen. 5. Needs to have better help files, like step by step how to do it tutorials. With all the above problems I like the software and hope these will be fixed. I'm only two weeks into it and still learning. (Also I'm 78 and it might take me a little longer) My question: Need a step by step on how to create a CD or DVD to take to Office Depot to have a cookbook printed.

Sorry to report that recipes are a dime a dozen out there and that I have hit on some really bad ones. Some recipes found in my kamado manual were not very good either. Your best bet is to web search for cooking times only and use your own favorite seasonings.
