Is the tray itself made out of silicone? Soft enough to pop out frozen food from the bottom?

Yes, the tray is silicone and soft enough to pop out from the bottom. I highly recommend - very good quality.

Yes- so easy to pop out. Very flexible. If u r familiar with baby bullet trays they are bigger and even easier to get good out than that!

Yes, completely silicone and 100% useful! So easy to use and each pod pops right out when pushed out from the bottom. Sometimes I let the tray sit out at room temperature for a minute or two and that usually does the trick. I highly recommend

Yes both tray and top are silicone. Bend easily and food pops right out, unlike hard-bottom ice-cube style trays, in my experience.

Yes, both top and bottom are silicone. The bottom is quite sturdy so it doesn't flop around a lot, yet very easy to pop out frozen sections.

Yes. Each cube has a little indention in the bottom as well to make popping food out easier. I like the tray and find it easy to deal with, unlike the ice cube trays where I work.

The colored part where the food goes is silicone, the clear lid that does not come in contact with the food is plastic. The silicone makes it really easy to get the food out. I am very happy with this product and plan on buying more.

Yes it is very easy. I just push in on the bottom of the maker and it pops out. Since this ice ball maker is silicone, it is very flexible.

Yes. The sides are very soft, so you will have to be careful when you carry it to the refrigerator, or put a plate under it.

My daughter ripped it open and the instructions as well. It is a very hard plastic. I don't think it is. I believe it would weaken the material. It is however a great little lunch carrier. My daughter loves it so much she bought one for her best friend.

Yes, the lid is plastic, if the thermo is not up right the food can make contact.

The upper section is a food-grade silicone similar to other "oven safe" silicone baking trays or cooking utensils. That isn't the issue.The bottom however feels more like a regular TPA material, similar to the polymers used in typical Rubbermaid and tupperwear containers.

Yes, my wife likes the tray. She makes her own puree for the children. Of course, we haven't figured out how to make it easy to peel off of the tray, but it works.

I would say that they are silicone. They feel like it. It's VERY flexible - so much so that I should have a thin board to rest underneath them as I put them in the freezer.

I would say its plastic or silicone, its a bendable straw which is nice because I put ice in mine and with a hard straw on the older models it was sometimes hard to screw the lid on if the ice froze together. I don't notice a strange taste.

It is made out of silicone and it can go in the freezer. I would not try opening it or locking it down when it is that cold because plastic become brittle when cold.

It does have a metal underside, so the food wouldn't touch any plastic. Not sure what the lid is made of, but it is a hard plastic. My kids don't love this...they say there is always water in their lunch from it. My friend uses these all the time for her kids and they say they never noticed that. Hope that helps.

No, they're not silicone but plastic that gets rather brittle when frozen. I've been running warm water on the back side, then drying off the water before twisting to release the cubes. With gentle care they're working well repeatedly for me.

Yes, the insert is also silicon. The whole unit is a bit floppy and smaller than I anticipated. I do still like it and it is big enough for 2 servings of vegetables. I just wish it was stiffer so that there was no risk of steam being released when it is removed from the microwave.

Yes this cover is made of silicone, but it is durable enough to feel like plastic, to enable for it be to collapse for easy storage, I just keep it in the microwave at all times.

Yes, it is soft and somewhat flexible, yet still sturdy. I can't say for sure it is silicone, but definitely a rubberized material making it comfortable in the hand. (I will try and post a pic.)

I only use it for fresh foods, but normally just softer solids like cooked veggies (squash, potatoes) or softer fruits (pears, bananas, plums). I guess you could put frozen foods in it and they could eat it as it melts, but my little guy would probably not like that.
