It does smell kind of funky during the first few times of using it, but the flavor of the bacon isn't affected, and after a few washings, the odor is gone. Be sure to dry it quickly after washing it. It is iron and it might rust. Mine hasn't, but I've been careful with it. Although I wash it in soap and water, I don't scrub it, so it is curing as I reuse it.
All in all, this is a great addition to my cookware.
