I just received my Hearthstone steamer today. In it's "instructions" it has you cure it, by wiping it down with veggie oil and then filling with water, place in cold oven, heat to 350, bake for 2 hours, cool.
Let me say, once wiped down with oil, it's freaking gorgeous. I now hate that I took no before/after pics.
I am wondering.. has anyone done it with a stove? I think mineral oil might be better, but not sure. I am a little worried about the "smoke point" of veggie oils.. and I am sure if I didn't like it I could just sand it out/off, but maybe someone else has gone before...?
Thoughts? Fears? Experience?
