Why is it not recommended to mash Carafa? and what do you do with it instead?

Because you are using it for color only. You can mash it, but only with other base grains. You can steep it just like you would any other highly roasted grain - Roasted Barley, Black Malt, Chocolate Malt.
Right. It's not that they recommend that you DON'T mash it. That sort of field is there for people who are doing extract with steeping grains, to know whether they can use a particular grain since they are not mashing.The mash field is "Required to mash"
You can but you don't need to. It's already converted.
