Is the container made of silicone or plastic?

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.

Sorry I am so late. I was sick. I only use it once or twice a day and never found the seal to fail. The top is made of a sturdy plastic and the seal appears to be a good ol' silicon. I love this little canister. Silicon will last a lifetime

Away on vacation right now, but pretty sure it is plastic with a rubber ring that seals the jar. Hope that helps!

There is what I'd call a gasket inside the lid groove; don't know if it's silicone, but it does seal well - not just plastic on plastic.

It is made of part silicone and part plastic material - offering a dual layer protection. The interior material is silicone and the exterior is plastic. It has a soft rubber coating on the outside. Thanks! - CrazyOnDigital

It's all metal inside except for two very small silicone "plugs" where the water level is measured on the outside of the unit. The lid is plastic. I love it!

Plastic housing, but the grinder/sieve is made of metal. I was extremely satisfied with the produce as shipped, but it does need the larger food tray as suggested by myself and others if you plan on processing very much food.

How does one know the difference? I can say that the red parts (flat lid, edges around the side) are plastic. But, the portion that "pops open", the opaque sides, are a flexible plastic. It could be silicone, but I don't know how to determine.

It is two pieces that fit together. Inside layer is silicone and the outside layer is hard plastic.

It is plastic. The holder is ok but I wish I had got the metal one. Hope this helps.

It's regular plastic. It's not at all the flexible silicone the pods are made of.

It is made of plastic. I wouldn't recommend that much pressure on this product. And the seals on the one I purchased leaked after 3 months of use.

The little spill proof circle that pops onto the bottom portion is silicone, the white spout thing is some kind of soft plastic.

It is made of sturdy plastic. I've used it many times and its held up very well. Works great!

It's plastic. However it is of better quality than any of the others food saver products that I've used. It works really well.

The outside is glass, the strainer inside is clear plastic and the lid is rubber or silicone covered. The inside sipper is plastic. Hope that helps
