I don't roast or peel them. Do they need it?

They shall taste raw in their existing state. I, for one, enjoy my raw-tasting cocoa overlords.

No you do not need them. But they will help increase the life of the mattresses

We don't use them, we don't find them necessary. I read on another comment that someone uses them but had to cut them to fit better.

No, they don't require them. I use the paper filters just because I'm used to my coffee that way.

I don't know. I've never done anything to mine except use them (I don't cook a lot) but they are still in good shape and stick free.

They do. Not looking at it but 5 shelves that all come out plus a drip pan. Am on my second one and use them mostly for fish and jerky. But see no reason not to do a roast. Might want to set it in the drip pan itself and then half? way thru turn the meat over in the pan since the heat is higher at the bottom. I rotate the shelves, top to bottom, when doing fish or meat since the heat is higher lower down. When doing jerky etc that is what we always do.Have fun.

That is a great question, but I'm not sure. I never have anything hot in them and I don't microwave them. I'm sure there are other reasons not to have BPA, but since I only use these for dry ingredients, I don't see how BPA would transfer to the food.

No, you dont, but make sure they are clean. This is my 3rd one and I love it, it is a very good brand and a household item in Spain.

Yes, I suggest peeling them because at first I didn't and it left my juice with a bitter, soap- like taste.Breville makes you think no peeling is required. That's the other thing I hate about the product.

No, they don't, not even on dishes prepared on the highest temperatures. That's one of the features that is important to me.

Yes you can... if you roast them in your oven for 15 minutes, then let them cool slightly, you can either 1) put them in a ziplock bag and shake them to remove the skins 2) use a clean dish towel and rub them. the skins fall right off when they are roasted. They also make a better tasting peanut butter. As a side note they become a very smooth peanut butter as the oils in the nuts have been activated already so it doesn't take as long for them to blend, about 1/2 the time.

No you don't cook them first, just put them on the rack. You might want to put wet paper towel on them to wet them so they can stay on the rack better.

I have had pretty good luck just using normal baking instructions. I don't believe they require anything special at all. Great bakeware :)

I am not sure, but they have a rubber disk on the bottom. I don't think you bake with them if that's why you're asking.

Not necessary. As long as you use the plastic insert, the formed patty peels off easily.

no, but I just keep them on the fridge & deep freezer. I love them. ill be cooking or doing dishes & the kids are over by the fridge making animal noises with them.

Yes, I do. Not sure if they would stand up on their own in an oven. They might...but I use the muffin pans.
