Cleaning/Prep of new Igloo Mash Tun?

[Jevans]

Moving kind of backasswards here but I have just picked up a 10 gallon Igloo mash tun. I was previously using a stainless pot to mash in but got tired of temperature drops. The Igloo smells strongly of plastic - do you do anything (hot water soak/rinse, etc) to remove the plastic smell? Or does the smell not get into the wort?

When I got my mash tun, I ran some boiling water through it. I did it one more time, but that time I took about a cup of the water and let it cool down to taste it. No plastic taste. Not sure if the palstic actually has any effect on taste but I did it just to be on the safe side.
