Do I need to bake this in the oven before putting it in the enclosure to kill any mites?

The instructions say not to put it into the regular oven and I have never used mine in the oven.

You need to feed it for at least a week before baking. That doesn't require too much patience. It will then live indefinitely with minimal care.

To be honest I haven't baked a whole potato in it's skin in my oven. For that I use the microwave. I do bake or roast just about everything else tho. I LOVE this oven. In fact I bought another one for back up just in case it gets sick. Speaking of baked potatoes. Have you ever tried Hasselback potatoes. Look on Pinterest. There are tons of recipes. This little oven is perfect for them too. Happy baking.

According to the instructions, yes. Bake the desiccant pack ONLY in a 200 degree oven for about 1 hour. Full instructions are on the jar.

Correct. No need in oven. Be careful with temperature. A metal diffuser should be used on stove.

The manual says you can. It says do not put mold into oven empty. It must have your food product in it or it will warp. The appropriate temp is-40F to +446 F (230C). Do not use on top of stove, near flame, grill, electric rings. Mold needs to be greased. Cooled completely before you try to remove

I don't think this one is oven safe because it has a rubber seal around the glass cover. Unless, I guess you could put it in the oven if the temperature is low (like 250) for warming. Or, use foil instead of the glass lid with rubber seal.

I have used it for mold mites (which I originally thought were bird mites). While they will swim in alcohol, orange oil (and this product) will dissolve them on contact. I used a spray bottle, but BE CAREFUL! This stuff is as flammable as gasoline. Oh, and it will melt some plastics on contact.

Even though spider mites are not listed on the container I would be surprised if it wasnt effective against them. Thats the best answer I can give you.

I'm not sure but if you did place it on some kind of baking sheet Also be careful as it may be extremely hot!

No, you don't. It has to be at room temperature. My advise to you is to make sure the yogurt you will use as the starter be at roomtempature as well.

I make it both ways (with and without nuts). The key is to reduced the oven temp to allow for my dark bundt pan and to not over bake it.

I have only used it in the regular oven. I always place it on a cookie sheet to cook. Can I ask why you would want to place in a dehydrator. My daughter has a dehydrator. I cook bones because of my dogs allergies and this is one way to eliminate anything she is allergic to.

The pan works perfect with breads, because the perforation give the dough a nice crunch, but leaving the inside nice and soft that is mainly the purpose of this pan. i don't think it will make a difference if the oven is pre-heated or not the pan will work the same. Now the for any bake good before putting it in the oven you will always need to pre-heat unless you are only heating up something.

You close and latch the glass door so the inside of the oven is airtight...no bugs can get in while you're cooking.

No.....I buy the soft shell and gently push it in on the inside. It bakes crispy in the oven in about 3 to 5 minutes.....very good!
