using the jar surely creates contamination of the contents by dipping fingers in and out ??

Use a clean measuring spoon every time and this limits the opportunity for contamination.

I use a jar and store the unit with the sponge 'up' underneath my cabinet - or I set it in my disposal in the sink with the sponge sticking out (not the ideal solution).

it should be filtered in a jar, the jar is sealed on top to prevent contamination.

I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but common sense tells me - absolutely not! Sniff the stuff. Read the label. Would you drink it? It should not be used on any surface that will come into contact with food. A wooden mug? Try vegetable oil of some kind.

Sometimes I just pull the lid off...it works!After using it, don't put the lid on all the way...just rest it tilted on the jar so it doesn't get sick or you can just leave it uncovered in your cabinet!

You should take this up with Amazon. I had a similar problem but it wasn't dirty, just the seal broken. This is not sanitary so complain to the store or Amazon. If yu have a COSTCO near you, they have the same jar (which is what I purchased from Amazon) that was beautifully packed and sealed, will be purchasing it there in future.

I haven't heard of this. I know that when It is used it is recommended that you wash your hands so you don't get it in your eyes or mouth. I would have to look into it more before doing this. Maybe contact the company.

The jar comes with a tiny spatula which broke. I used my fingers for application until I tired of the paste under my nails. Now, I use a small, smooth, wooden spreader. It works like a charm. I keep it on top of the jar.

Wait for the oil to cool and scoop it out ..we use an old Tupperware container .. messy job and one downside of this

My cabinet does have a slight smell and I do store pasta in it. I've never had a problem with contamination. I don't know if it makes a difference but prior to assembly I allowed all the pieces to individually sit out in the living room overnight.

I have never done this so I really don't know. I would think not since it is not recommended as a method on the packaging.

Hi Jerome. I made sure when I set the jars in there to make sure they were not touching. The boiling water should not displace the jars. I had no issues with it.

That Depends How You Manage It. When I Blend Hot Stuff I Make Sure The Top Covers It Well And In Addition I Put A Heat Protecting Glove On The Top And Hold It Hard. The Jar Is Fine But The Cover Is Plastic And Heat Makes It Loose And Soft So You Could Potentially Burn Yourself. Just Be Cautious.

Nothing official, but I wouldn't worry. I'm sure that's why they make 'food grade' grease; because there is a small chance of it getting into your food. Unless you ate a great deal of it, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I'm sure you've eaten worse things without even knowing it.

Straight from the jar. I'm not sure they advise you to do so but I had some for a long time and I added water to thin it out a bit when it got a little to thick

Oils and refrigerant do not mix well. Risk contamination of system. If oil is used it must be removed completely prior to coupling.

It is not recommended. The jars though are easy to wash, use the pulse mode with hot water and soap after rinsing. Rinse and let it dry while standing.
