My oven doesn't get that hot.

The fact that most of the recipes for planked fish/chicken include butter or other fats might affect that flash point a bit. Or a lot.

Sorry to hear you have a sub-standard oven.

Sub-standard doesn't begin to describe my oven.

I got these...didn't like them. They left an odd, unpleasant taste on the veggies.
Almost all of them are still sitting in the box.

Anyway I could x2 my order? Emailing would take too long and the offer would be over

Are these branded on both sides?

No, just one side. The other side is plain.

In for 24!

The fact that I bought not one, but TWO of these scares me.

My grilling prowess starts with hotdogs and comes to a screeeeeeeching halt with burgers.

Guess I figured I needed some motivation to try new things

...my sister tells me I shouldn't have WOOT as my home page....she just may be right...

Never had the "rancid" issue and have been doing this for years.

You are correct in that food-grade mineral oil is the optimal way to go. However, I use my spoons pretty much daily and only oil once in a while if they need it. Going rancid has never been an issue as they are used so frequently. There are pros who even will say to use cool water and mild soap - but my experience has been that the spoons do not last as long as that tends to dry them out. Daily, if I use a wooden spoon or cutting board, I wash it immediately with water and dry it with a towel - never leaving them to air dry. They have lasted years and years.

On the other hand, mineral oil is a laxative -

These do work amazingly well, but some people claim that the meat comes out too smokey tasting.

I did and they claim CC was denied, yet it went through in PayPal. Woot now refuses to answer my email, forcing me to do a PP dispute. Not very happy. Will defintely have to think about wooting again.
