Is the silicone base removable; does debris or water collect beneath it?

no the base is not removable...I have had mine about 6 months and no leaks have occurred yet...and no water has collected beneath it...I do not recommend red sauce and microwave use...I tried this and the bowl was discolored light red inside...although it can hold anything with red sauce and not get discolored as long as it is not microwaved...I hope this helps...all and all I love this bowl and this brand...I also got the plates and the bowls as well as the omelette maker...

No, the base is not removable. I ordered the white bowls and they do stain if you use any tomato-based food. Therefore, I've put them in my motorhome and they'll be great for traveling since they have a no-slip bottom.

Doesn't say, but we've cleaned ours that way since we bought it, no issues. We do check that there's no water trapped under the black rubber footing at the bottom.

Yes, there is silicone (or whatever soft material this is) inside the kettle, where the base connects with the glass. It's just a few millimeters wide, but it is there. One probably would not see it, but it's easy to feel with the fingernail.

A little bit, but a quick rinse before throwing it in the dishwasher gets it right out. Has not been a big deal for me. Don't know if silicone. Feels soft like rubber, but I'm not sure. I'm latex allergic but haven't had any reaction.

No, there is a drip tray underneath that easily comes out to clean when needed. I have been very pleased with mine. It is larger than most, so be sure about your size.

The silicone is impervious and water does not seep through. It would only be wet or slimy if the counter underneath it got wet and one didn't dry it. This is a terrific mat that my son used on a his sailboat for an 8-month solo circumnavigation of the globe. It worked well.

Yes, the entire object is one piece of 100% silicone. It stretches and maintains its color and shape. Just used it this weekend for Reece cups. It worked perfectly! Love this product.

No, but there is no need to remove the base since the entire unit can be easily cleaned in the sink. Our old skillet had to be taken apart to clean because the upper part was not submersible in water. This is a great improvement. Be sure to use a soft sponge and never any abrasive cleaner, and never use metal utensils when cooking with it. We have had ours for years and the finish is like brand new. We liked it so much we bought each of our kids one.

Yes keep that on! You don't want to make any slits in it at all or the silicone leaks out.

Yes. It has a section on the bottom that can be removed. It doesn't have a big tray to catch water, but I bought it for a hanging cactus which doesn't take too much water.

I don't think it is silicone, but a kind of plastic, I have baked a pie and other things that ran over and burned to a crisp on the spillmatt. I just left it in until it cooled and it washed right off under running water. I left it in my oven when I moved. It looked great and worked great, now I need to order another one.

I have only pulled out the tray. I've never looked inside to see if there is any remaining water. When I stored it away for the winter, all I did was empty and dry out the tray, wipe it down and stashed it in a box. I did not see any water residue in the box when I pulled it out a few months later.

I'm on my second one. First one, which I lost, went in the dishwasher and after a while the rubber pad on the base came loose. Not a huge deal, easy enough to reglue. However I don't put the new one in. It's easy enough to rinse out.

I don't remember removing any from my unit before installing it, I would not. It's probably there to prevent residue from collecting on the sensing temperature probe.

Not exactly, you have to seal the base with silicon in order to make it water proof. When installed, the outlet top is very high (about 6 mm) and has a double wedge protection and a groove to direct any spill on the opposite side of the holes of the electric outlet
