What is the best oil to season these with? I have read reviews saying mineral oil, and others saying coconut oil. Thanks.

Honestly we pour a little olive oil on a lemon half and rub it down using the lemon and olive oil. It works great! Thank you Martha Stewart!

In my opinion I don't think it really matters i just use mineral oil cheap and easy to find....maybe coconut oil soaks into the wood longer? we use ours quite frequently and need to oil our board every month or sooner we just oil it when it starts to loose that dark rich color

I use a pure mineral oil and it works great. I've used "plant" based oils in the past but there is a danger of bacteria growth.Snow River 8-Ounce Wood Oil

Everyone's taste varies. I would try it in a small amount to find the right density & consistency to make the tortilla. Frying Almond flour will probably cook faster, so beware you don't burn the tortilla or the oil you will be using. We use Pure Coconut Oil & Pure Olive Oil but since you can not tolerate Coconut, what about peanut oil? For me I like to experiment. If you have the time and like doing that, then experiment. Yes please let us know, what you did and how it turned out! Happy Thanksgiving!!

what type of oil did you use? and when you put chicken in was it COLD & dry or room temp and moist? Peanut or olive oil I find to work the best.

Use coconut oil. It's NOT better. Some people feel popcorn tastes better yellow (what??). Really, this stuff is awful. I have a full container- don't know what to do with it. Surely won't use it. Personally, I use good ol' peanut oil now.

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

Coconut Oil works best. Cleans easier. Tastes better. I wouldn't use vegetable or canola oil. they get so gummy....and are not as heat tolerant as the coconut oil. I don't use any popcorn oil product. Only Coconut Oil, and real butter after it is done popping.

I haven't baked with coconut oil; I've fried eggs, and they are delicious. I've also fried veggies battered in egg and almond flour. I highly recommend! I've read that refined coconut oil tolerates heat differently than unrefined coconut oil.

There is something in the instructions about seasonin with oil I think but I don't remember. I cleaned with a mild detergent (I only use seventh generation so it's very green and safe). Once you use it a few times it's like a cast iron pan; it builds up seasoning. Do a google on how to properly season a paella pan. Hope I helped

It says they come treated with food grade mineral oil ready to use.. I have 2 sets and love them. Just rinse with soap and water, dry and put away. I treat them with the mineral oil once a month.

Yes, if you don't want them to rust, you need to season them. I used a heavy coat of vegtable oil and rubbed them liberally and heated them slowly to very hot. Two years old and only an occasional spot seasoning. Luv em!

Low to medium heat, and patience (and some passion too ;) ).Also, I grease them with coconut fat after usage.

Yes. Not a problem, especially since oil would be used to season it when not in use for an extended period. Oil for seasoning is different than your normal oil. You would get mineral oil for oral use from the pharmacy. Cheaper, and it's the same oil you would buy for seasoning the board from the 'kitchen' department. I did speak with the pharmacist before I bought it.

No, I have not. It isnn't nearly seasoned enough. There are a lot of seasoning ideas out there, but works well... get a deep frying basket and fry several batches of foods in these pots, filled with oil... canola or peanut oil... they then retain the oil layer well! I love these pots.

This is way better than canola and sunflower oil...a healthy fat with a higher smoke point. I know there is a site out there that lists the smoke point for different oils...coconut is good to higher temps than these oils you mention, and it gives a great flavor (not coconutty-but satisfying)

Oil up the pan with what ever type of cooking oil you like to use ( I am a coconut oil user) heat up the pan to cooking temp and make sure you don't burn the oil. Let the pan cool. Rinse the pan and your ready to use!

I use a vegetable base oil to mix with thieves or it cab burn your skin. Never tried coconut oil.

Season them? I've only seasoned cast iron cookware. I washed them before using them but other than that I didn't do anything to them. I've used them now for two years with zero problems. I love this set
