Is this vermiculite heated(exfoliated)?

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.

No, it is heated. This machine WASHES beautifully, much better than my top of the line Miele that I replaced it with. I just could never get it to stay closed through a cycle to clean the dishes. The company took it back and gave me a refund.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

It's listed as. I didn't use heat on it though I'm sorry. The fibers are thick and smooth like heat resistant normally are

doesn't sound normal - especially the textured surface. It wouldn't let for proper making of crepe. After a couple of uses the whole surface should be black - that doesn't go away. And it should be equally as hot throughout.

Yes. I don't recommend buying this. I melted 2 of them with just normal operation of my heat.

Seems to be raw to me. Its in hard chunks. Its not smooth and creamy. I made exfoliant bars with it and it worked really well

Yes. The base is unglazed. It must be oiled first to season it. I always use a flame tamer if i cook in it on the electric stove...it distributes the heat evenly & helps keep it from breaking. Follow the directions on soaking & seasoning. Have several tagines & they work well.

No. It is a salt crystal--all natural ingredients. Lasts 24 hours with no residue. I love it.

No, it is Jade. The disks that are heated are made of green jade which give off Far Infrared waves. Very relaxing, soothing, and healing. We love ours.

It is "unrefined" which is to say it hasn't been processed in any way in my understanding. You can use it like you would a cooking oil or like in my case, I mix it in with foods I feed to my parrots! It doesn't have to be heated up but sometimes it gets kind of solid when it is cold in your house so heating it slightly can make it easier to use. Hope this helps answer your question.

It was not pre conditioned. I have found it difficult to condition. It resists absorbing Bamboo oil as well as boos cream.

Yes, it is. That is, the skins are removed. Perfect for cooking. Tastes great too.

the old label for this product listed it as "food grade" but when I received item in mail it had a different label that did NOT mention anything about using it internally, I tried to ask "Now Foods" directly but was put on hold for a very long time. In my opinion I am guessing that the label has been changed to avoid any litigation since any clay product can cause internal problems if not taken with extreme caution.

It is definitely stone, but is more porous than marble. It works marvelously, retaining heat long after use. However, you need to follow the safety and cleaning instructions. The stone is very dense and heavier than it looks. Certain foods are more difficult to clean off the stone after use and may stain. Soaps are not recommended, as the stone is porous. If you feel it is necessary to tackle any staining, there are likely safe, non-soap alternatives out there (perhaps, baking soda and vinegar?), but I have NOT attempted any cleaning myself, except scrubbing with hot water. I DEFINITELY recommend purchasing the stone, as it does what it does perfectly. One of my favorite uses is to reheat leftover pizza and sandwiches. The soggy or even greasy dough crisps up and there is less opportunity to burn or dry out the rest of the dish.

It is most likely the charcoal from the charred plantain skins. If you want to use it directly on your face you could melt it down, run it through a cheese cloth to take out anything that might be grainy and then pour it into a baking pan to solidify again.
