Pray tell, how do these reseal after opening. Do you just hit it w/ a hot iron again?

The best way I've found is using a hair straightener. You can get one at Walmart for less than $15. It clamps down perfectly on the bag and seals it immediately.

Yes, that should do it. Try to make sure when you open it that you don't rip/tear the bag but a nice cut just under the seal would be the best. Then just use a hot iron to reseal being careful not to over heat the bag.

Leave enough room when you first seal it. Then reseal it the way you did in the beginning. Iron or food sealer

I heated my iron up and let it "burn in" when I first bought it and have never had any trouble. Perhaps you need to clean the irons really well, then wipe then with a really good, high temp oil and then try plugging in the iron for a while to season it before you use it to make pizzelle again.

Yes, ready to go! If you decide to use them again, soap and water will clean them and you can boil them too. Once you see them starting to crack they're no good.

Soak in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes. I usually leave them in for 5 minutes and let them air dry.

You just push up from the bottom of the pan let them rest until cool. If I found out I have not sprayed it enough and a little stuck. Just used a regular kitchen knife it slide under and loosen. Have made tons with these pans and no problems!!

A hot iron works great. Place the end of the bag on a flat surface, we used a wooden cutting board, make sure it is smooth and run the iron over it. Seals easily.

I didn't vacuum seal them but put them in sealed mason jars. the bad you receive hem in actually isn't vacuum sealed either. I used half when I got them and the other half about 2 months later and they were still great.

I don't know. I didn't try to reseal it. but I want to warn you about the straps, that are for the purpose of keeping the lid from falling back too far so as not to ruin the hinges, failed about a week or two ago. I fixed them with a piece of chain. However, had I known of this design flaw when I bought it, I may not have purchased it.

Don't open them until you need them. Take out,what you need then place the rest in the freezer. I would only freeze them once, use the frozen ones one time and discard the rest Reorder new ones. They are not that expensive.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

Were they still sealed? If not I'd return them. Mine did not have this. Sorry.

Cleaning it is easy, the trick is to dry it off completely before using it again. What I usually do is, let it cool after heated use, wipe it with a wet cloth , the dirtier the wetter the cloth, i have not put them under running water but i guess it could be done if need be. Once clean, dry it with a cloth, let it dry over a cloth, or take it out under sun light to be sure it is dryed out completely. I usually wrapthem in paper towels to keep them dry before heating them again.

I called the company that makes these and I followed their recommendations, which was scarey since they said don't tighten the lids til they are done processing....but it worked great. The tattler ones won't seal if you screw them tight like the metal lids before processing. I used to use water bath method for everything, so I get it. These will seal if you just finger tighten to start with and tighten when you bring them out of the canner. I did some meat and ham balls in them plus other things and they stay sealed.....after 24 hours, remove metal rings

I use these bags 5 or 6 times before recycling them. It's a little more difficult to seal the bag after the first use, but it will reseal. I've only steamed veggies and potatoes in them. I wash them in hot water and some dish soap after each use. I am going to try steaming some cod, salmon or albacore as well. I don't see why they can't be reused after steaming fish or seafood. Just rinse and wash out right after you take the food out of the bag.

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out.

I suggest you not overheat them or scrub them with very rough material. If you do not do the first you should not need to do the second. These are my favorites and no problems. I read the other reviews then went back to check all my pans. No smell and one slight stain which I cleaned. I'm a Happy Cooker.

TBH, I cook more with cast iron, but I've used my set to reheat soups and such for several months now and have had no issues. Purchased to replace a non-stick set, I really wasn't expecting much because of the price, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well they perform and clean up. Don't forget to pick up some product like Barkeeper's Friend and they'll look brand new in seconds.
