Does this rice have to be washed first to get rid of talc?

I've never had a problem with talc... though it is usually a good practice to always do so.

I would definitely recommend rinsing rice before you cook it, for the reason you stated. I always rinse the rice first.

Yes, probably a good idea to do this, but there are times when I don't and it is just fine!

I think it would be very hard to wash & then cook since the grains are so tiny. I don't wash it. I store it in a plastic container at room temperature. Have been using this for many years & quite satisfied with it.

Sure just use a mild detergent or hand soap and wash by hand only. Air dry, and your ready to go in a couple of hours or so..

Yes. I washed it in cold water with a regular fregrance free detergent. I hung to dry. Oh and after reading the other posts, I did use my top loader on delicate. Looks great.

I have not washed the mit. They put new one in every box. When I am done I put it over bottle and let it dry before next use.

Well, you rinse your dry rice *before* cooking, actually ... I don't see why anyone would rinse rice after cooking... But, if you need to do that for some reason, my concern would be that the small drain holes would plug up. Haven't tried, though.

Yes, it's okay to wash our cheesecloth in the washer, but we recommend placing it inside of a tee-shirt or some other piece of clothing to reduce the amount of fraying. Wash in cold or warm water to minimize shrinkage. Also, if you are going to be reusing the cheesecloth for food prep, we suggest you rinse it again thoroughly after it comes out of the wash to ensure no lingering detergent odors or chemicals get transferred to your foods.

Hi, wish I could. I mistakenly threw away the box, and it's not listed on the container. I believe there is talc in there though based on the consistency and price

yes. I use mine for this at least 3X/week. I use long grain rice. Only Basmati really needs washing. Hope this helps. Doug

Not sure, my wife has cooked rice the night before and let it warm until the next day and never no smell. But not sure for any amount of time over that.

There is no need to wash prior to use. I have had this product on both my full and queen beds for years. Always make sure to wash in hot water as that will kill the dust mites. Also when drying it is best to check on it, as you will need to move it around every 10 minutes or so to have it completely dry.

No. I place mine in a laundry bag and throw it into the washing machine with my satin bedsheet. I use woolite and cold water setting for both.

I have just recently stored my items in the bags so I cannot say one way or the other. However, I would wash them first and wash them again after removing them from bags. Hope this was helpful.

I do not wash mine; I just wipe off the excess flour, pack it away until next time. It has only one screen so I would say it is washable.

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!

My son washed his. It doesn't look much cleaner but, no harm was done. He also rubbed some cornstarch on his after reading on line that it takes away some of the stickiness of this type of thing. It worked. No more lint, and fuzz stuck all over it.

No but you need to give it a good first cleaning before your initial use. Also, important to keep cleaned and dried after every use. I am really glad I bought mine. Highly recommend.
