Do I really have to wash this before cooking? How do I store them(what containers and where to buy?)

I think it would be very hard to wash & then cook since the grains are so tiny. I don't wash it. I store it in a plastic container at room temperature. Have been using this for many years & quite satisfied with it.

I don't wash mine (because I forget or am lazy). Seems already so far! Probably not a bad idea to, but I feel like it's kind of the same as fruit. Does running plain water really wash away harmful bacteria or do you have to use soap?

It is always advised to rinse product before cooking due to processing and warehousing. None of those facilities are sterile. I purchase 5 gallons buckets with lids at local hardware stores for my bulk purchases. Lids seal tight. No issues with heat, cold, insects or rodents. Store in the basement or the garage on shelves or (as i do) heavy metal rolling racks purchased from Sam's club

I haven't had this experience - I've had one global knife more 2 years another more than a year. I wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry and store in a knife drawer with slots. I don't soak it or wash in dishwasher Hope this helps. Mine are so wonderful! Liza

Well I always hand wash-if you use in the dishwasher I would take out before the drying cycle as it is so hot. Once a week I use vinegar and water to "deep" clean and you might use just one color for meat.

What I did was put it all in plastic containers store in cool dry placeand it stays fresh & nice.I use it few times a week with no problems. No need investing in pricy storage long as lid is on tight and in cool place.

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

If you feel the need to use soap (and sometimes I do if what I cook in it is super greasy). Use only what you need to get the grease off. Leave some behind as it helps season the pan. I wouldn't bother with any cleaners or scrapers, you don't need them. Soak your pan if something really gets stuck. If it's seasoned well enough before you cook with, it should wipe off after soaking. Always towel dry your pans and rub vegetable oil all over it before storing it. This keeps it seasoned and won't rust. Happy cooking!

I believe the instructions said to just soak it in warm water and soap. That's what I did at least. Hang it up to dry completely before storing it again.

I hand washed mine as I didn't want to damage the seal on it with the heat in the dishwasher. The seal on mine is airtight and I have not had any problems with it not fitting well either. It's sturdy and I am very happy with mine. I have sugar in mine and it does not dry out or anything.

I use a small container from the dollar store. Immediately after use, I fill it with warm water and I only use a fragrance free detergent. Just a small amount. Soak for 10-15 min and rinse from the small opening. I stand the nozzle in a plastic cup overnight to air dry. I simply wrap it in a clean paper towel and store in the box. Hope this helps.

I just wipe mine with hot water and a bit of dish soap. Be sure to allow to dry it completely before storing it away, or it may start to mold.

I do not store in the refrigerator before I cook.only if any are left over and that is rare.

I tried storing it out in the open, and wrapped in a paper towel inside a ziplock in the fridge. The one in the fridge stays fresher longer, but goes soft very quickly once removed. So I store the smaller pieces in the fridge for later use, and leave the larger pieces in a paper bag or a bowl and use those first.

I don't use my 18.5" paella pan often enough to build up a seasoning. I soak and use a regular detergent and dry the pan fully before storing away. Before using again, it get's another scrubbing. For me, space is important and my pan is stored along with other serving trays.

I haven't gotten there yet! Have you asked wellnessmama? I'll bet she's done it...honestly, I'm not sure I'd wash them the first time through...will probably just pour some new over the old. But I keep them in the fridge before I use them, so they are less likely to get rancid. But if I were to clean them, I think hot (not boiling) water would be key.

I saw no recommendation by the manufacturer as to how to store your cooked lasagne but common sense would tell me to store it in a food safe storage container and reheat as practical, be it by microwave or regular oven.

I washed my set before using it but don't think I really had to. I'm just a little anal about cleanliness. As to food grade mineral oil...that is what I use but am sure you'd be able to use olive oil also without any problem.Hope this helps.

To build on the prior answer, after first use I would recommend washing only with hot water and a soft kitchen brush to remove any bits of food. Use no soap as it will leave a taste.
