do you have to soak the bottom before using

I just put some olive oil like a small coat and let it sit for 24hrs before using it. Then rinse and use.

no, I just hand washed and started using it. This is my 2nd pot and I love it.

I usually do a quick rinse and not soak it.If there is food around the edge I run a knife or toothpick around the edge to clean it out. I then dry it and leave the top on upside down to make sure it is dry before closing it.

No. Still very happy with this product. I DO soak. Cold water and soak for 30-60 minutes.

I always use a cooking spray before using the pans. But I would do this with any pan, just a habit. There is some sticking, but if you scrap the bottom while cooking makes for a good gravy. Or if you do not desire to scrap the pan like for example in the case of cooking eggs, simply put water in the pan after you finish cooking and let it sit for a few minutes, they clean right up.

The same way you clean the wet container. Just let this one dry out when you are finished and before re-using.

The instructions say you should & I did. I used soap & water & let mine soak for a few hours. I also used some lemon peels, sea salt & oil to prepare it for my first use. Cleaned that out, & I love mine!

No- you just wipe dry with a cloth. Depending on what you are cleaning, the solution will have been diluted with water.

its normal for it to have a thin layer of water on the bottom when its done...if it has more than that then empty and clean the metal part on the bottom with a qtip...rubbing alcohol works well... barely dip the qtip in the alcohol and wipe the metal part with it...hope this helps...

I wash and rinse with no problem. Soak the inside only and not the entire unit. I also let the unit thoroughly air dry before reusing.

Yes, just wet it, don' soak. Wait a few hours to retreat if needed. Normally 1 treatment is all that is needed. I have used it several times with excellent results.

I've never needed to. Cleanup is easy! Fill it part way with water and a couple drops of dish soap, run on mix for 30 sec, rinse. All clean!

Wash once or as needed. Don't need to dry until after treating with the soak.

Yes, I like to clean them well first. Clean the outside of the bottom with a long soak in alcohol. Then fill them. You can only do this about 2 times and then get new ones.

Negative... clean your whole tub then rinse it out when completed. This is assuming of course that you don't have a whole beachful of sand in your tub.
