When the pieces get baked, does it cause a smell in the kitchen?

Yes! It took me a little while to air out the kitchen and I was kind of sorry I put them in my new oven. They didn't smell afterward though, but you still can't eat out of them, and I wouldn't wash them.

No, not that I recall. At least nothing lasting. But, unfortunately, I have to take back my positive comment about the product. When we hand washed the first bowl, some of the paint came off!!! I followed the directions exactly.

I did not experience that. It came ready to assemble, neutral smell if not a clean wood smell. No problem.

yes, i did. just yesterday was the first time i had the light on for an extended period of time. the plastic got hot and was getting "broken in" and you could smell it. i turned on the fan and seems to have gone away now. sort of like when you get a new toaster or toaster oven. first couple of uses you can smell the parts...

I haven't noticed that kind of smell with this pan. Hmmm...not sure if there's a chemical reaction to certain foods with iron. Or maybe my sense of smell has declined. I clean the skillet with the chain mail scrubber and lightly re-oil the pan after each use. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

No smell at all. As one of the other respondents said, one of my absolutely best kitchen investments. I love it!

I hung ours on a door that is a walk in closet. It's in the closet so I notice no smell. Try fabreezing the inside or using dry cache's of your favorite potpourri.

The smell will burn off after about 30 minutes to an hour. I love this little oven

NO smell. Using them for almost a year and they look great. I love this set and would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase non stick set.

The smell is coming from the ceramic core because heat is being introduced. The manufacturer confirmed it is not harmful. The odor will go away within five days.

We haven't had that problem, as long as we use the vent fan on the stove. It will make your apartment smell like wood smoke, but that's not a bad thing.

I doubt it. But I could be wrong. It does have a smell that could come off in the oven. Sorry for indecisive reply.

If you are adding the proper mix of green and brown stuff you should not have a smell problem. If the mixture is too wet it will rot instead of being eaten up. I stir up the center of the mix with a metal rod, and create a deep hole in the center. It lets the air in.

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

You can see the pattern on the bottom of cookies, calzones, and whatever else you bake, but so far nobody has refused to eat any of our baked goods because of it. It hasn't caused us any issues cooking or cleaning. The first time we had a calzone explosion the baking pan looked like a dried lava field, and we figured that the pan was history, but the mess washed right off with a sponge and some soapy water.

I never had this smell on mine. Have you checked the wire to make sure that there are no cuts? If there aren't any, I would definitely contact Cuisinart to make sure the unit is safe.

No, you just have to cure it. I cured it in my kitchen and it smelled quite a bit, but was fine.

Mine had a bit of a smell the first time I used it. I just threw the first two pieces of toast away, and it has been fine since. If your toaster still smells after 2 or 3 times, there may be a problem with your toaster.
