How much oil do you need to put on the bottom of this to safety heat without ruining the enamel?

Just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. . . i use cooking spray. Be careful not to heat to quickly. I never use empty on high heat.

I'm using a wire brush. Spray it with a high heat cooking oil after it cools . . .

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

I wouldn't use oil on it. Because it gets super-heated, I would think the baking steel would start to smolder with the oil on it.

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

I line the bottom with some aluminum foil then just add anything. I use it more than anything else, best investment.

YouTube it! I usually wipe oil on all over put it in the oven and turn the stove on at 500F 30 minutes; then turn it down to 300F until oil burns off without smoke! I repeat at least twice. Remember to open you windows and fans! Enjoy! WITH PROSPERITY THERE IS NO WAR!

It doesn't take very much at all, just a light spray or a touch of cooking oil on a paper towel and rub it around. If you stack another pan on top just put a paper towel inbetween to protect it. It sounds like you were using way too much

**********I don't recommend doing this because it's probably a fire hazard.********** Yes, read my review. In summary I used olive oil because that's all I had lying around and two years later it's still working as a beauty! I think I poured some olive oil through the hole at the top then on another occasion rub olive oil over paper and fed it through the machine. Definitely not what you're supposed to do but it worked a treat. **********I don't recommend doing this because it's probably a fire hazard.**********

Any oil you prefer. Just do it while the bread is hot so it can soak the oil into the crust and it will not an oily surface. Shortening also works.

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

This is a good pan, it worked well for over 4 years for me. In the beginning, i have not used any oil at all. We should not spread crepes to the edges of the pan. If any oil is accumulated at the edges, if we clean it right away with a paper towel or kitchen towel, it works for even more number of years. The pan has very thin bottom, so we must use only medium to low heat.

Make you spray some oil in it and then it is wonderful! When you are in a hurry it gets too hot if you do not spray and everything sticks. Easy

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

use whatever cooking oil you wish. cover the bottom of the pan and slosh it all over the inside of the pan. then burn the bottom of the pan with the oil. let it set for a day or so and use it over a gas or wood flame.

Very well. The very outside is a little cooler. The finish does not require oil to cook

Take the EVOO and generously cover the bottom of the pan. Then set it on the stove on Medium/medium high heat. Keep it on there until it starts to smoke. I also swirl mine around to get the sides. Let it cool, then dump out excess oil. Wipe the pan out with a dry paper towel or dry washcloth. Let it set over night, then wash by hand with hot water and dish soap.
