Followed the instructions, but left it to cool in open oven for 1 hr. A week later the orange turned to a greenish color - doing something wrong?

The greenish color indicates it's saturated with moisture. How long did it take to turn from orange to green the first time? Depending on humidity levels it could absorb it that quick.

nope. you need to recharge it again. depending on how humid your environment is, you may have to charge it once a week. I did not care for this product, and moved on to something else.

Due to these Canisters having large holes (Compared to bagged Dessicent like "Hydrosorbent 900" or "Browning Dry Zone 550").. This canister version sucks up moisture fast, but a little too fast..Every time I check mine (around month later, in unopened safe), all of the beads are DARK GREEN!! Recharges pretty quick though. I put it back in while its still warm, If I can touch the canister without it burning my hands, Ill put it up. Ive always wondered if it being still warm causes humidity or not so not too sure if I'm doing the right, or wrong thing.

I would bleach it first. The orange might offset the color and make it in to a different color then u wanted. I always bleach before I put a new color in lol. Hope that helped c:

At the begning the of cooking the temp will be high and After it makes noise and the yellow button raise u have to lower the tepm! Make sure after the yellow button raise u must and u have to lower the temp otherwise it will explode at ur face!!!! Make sure never open it after cooking untill the yellow button goes completly down !

I have no idea. I baked all my life and never experienced this. Try and see what happens.

It may be that there was oil up to the rim and when you melted it down it seeped out. you don't necessarily have to heat it up, if left out in a regular room temp. it will loosen up enough to come out, and it will loosen further in the heat of your hand.

Supposedly. But I find that it just stays red and never turns green. And I've let them preheat for 40 mins.

I've never had that problem. Did something melt inside the oven (i.e., plastic wrap, plastic container)?

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

I believe the red light indicates cooking/boiling mode, and turns to yellow or green when in standby, or "keep warm" mode after it has been cooking for around 90 minutes or so.

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

Hi again. I just (for the first time) tried baking the eggs in the oven. It worked fine - I just coated the silicone pod with a bit of coconut oil (great flavor! But you could use any oil you like) and placed the egg in the oven at 320 F / 160 C. It took about 25 minutes to cook the whites, but admittedly I added some egg white to the whole egg. The egg came out of the pod with absolutely no hassle, and tasted excellent. Pod just went into the dishwasher.Having said that, I personally didn't notice any difference between baking and poaching. Poaching in a pan with the lid on is much quicker though (5 - 7 minutes).I trust this helps. Hi again. I just (for the first time) tried baking the eggs in the oven.

I used mink oil to soften it up. Of course that puts in it's own odor. Then I let it bake in the sun, both sides for a few hours. Did it all again and it's odor is very quiet now.

My experience has been that it was my oven that was wrong, not the thermometer! My food came out much better and the way it was supposed to when I followed this thermometer rather than the temperature reading on my oven's display!!! Hope that answer helps... good luck!

I've had them for a while. Keep them in a dark cool place and when they turn orange they are not good anymore. At least that's what I hear. You will get a good couple of months out of it.

Good Morning,As you can see I purchased this just a week or so ago. The day it arrived I used it for 3 hours to purée my pumpkin for pies and had not one issue. I am unsure of what the problems are but just let the receiver of the gift know if something should go wrong to let you know!

Not something I had happen; follow the instructions to season it- should help. Burned clean and left very little behind besides the normal effects of being a smoke box- some discoloration on the walls etc but thats what I'd expect
