I saw a review that said she tasted the silicon in her food; was something done incorrectly, or is this natural?

I use mine regularly both with and without the steam tray. Have not detected any off taste to my food. I primarily use it to re-warm thinks or to steam vegetables, all of which are short bursts in the microwave. I hope that helps.

We have the Lekue Steam Case and the more we use it, the more we can smell the silicon when it comes out of the microwave, which somewhat affects the taste. I don't think that the silicon taste actually leaks into the food, but once the nose is involved, it appears as if it is.

For me, there is no problem. My family and I didn't realize the smell or the taste, but if you are sensitive about a non-natural-thing, I think you might feel it.

I`m sorry but I have never had that problem. I use my products nearly every day.I think they are fantastic. Are you perhaps over cooking in them, we sometimes can`t believe how quick they do work.If you have a high temp. microwave.

I have two of these, in different sizes. I have NEVER tasted silicon in my food. I have overcooked, on occasion, and even then, there was no silicon taste. I usually do salmon in this with butter and dill and it comes out perfectly. Vegetables are also great. And I use these at least twice a week. As an aside, I put them in the dishwasher and they come out like new. I highly recommend the Lekue!

I've never had that problem at all, whether cooking in the microwave or the oven.

I've never experienced that. I use it for fast cooking veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes/corn on the cob before grilling, etc.

Ummm... We have several of these pieces. They impart no taste other than what comes with the food.

I hope not. Wouldn't that make it not raw or natural?? Sorry that I cannot answer this better. Did you write the seller?

I don't believe so. I didn't taste anything like that when I fed it to my daughter.

Hi Jen I didn't notice any silicon in oil, as silicon behaves in specific way on the skin. And in composition description is written 100%oil. I believe in it.

If you look at the images (specifically the 2nd one) you can see B12 listed on the side of the box. There's an asterisk next to it though and at the bottom it just says "*Raw food-created nutrients". You'd probably have to contact the company to get more specifics. At the very least you know it's a raw food-based source which is way better than some synthetic source made in a lab.

You should look up ingredients on her website. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing

Stainless shouldn't taste of metal. I would return it or ask for an exchange. Good Luck!

I have no idea... I don't sell this stuff... I just buy it and use it. I can really only give my opinion about its consistency, taste etc. I would contact the seller and ask them if this is a typo if I were you.

You can smell the silicon in the beginning, but the kids don't mind at all. We've only used them once so far, so not sure but guessing the silicon smell will lessen with time. But again, the kids didn't notice or care at all.

Mine had no defects. I would call the manufacturer to find out if it is cosmetic as I wouldn't want anything going into my family's food.

I have never heard my husband complain....or even notice an unusual taste. Out of curiosity, after seeing your question, I tasted a bit from the package (I HAD to know!). It had no taste.

I believe I called the producers of the product and they said that was an error. They said they were going to fix it, but obviously have not. They claim it is 100% organic.

I don't know what she mixed it with but I just take a little bit of iced tea in a glass and mix up my tablespoon drink it and follow it up with some more tea and there is no taste of anything but the tea. My sister mixes hers in with a smoothie and there is no taste at all. He/She must have mixed theres with something elsle that was rotten. This stuff has no taste just a texture. I have been using this for a couple years and I won't ever go without it.

The one thing in it that didn't say it was organic was the LoHan( fruit has been enjoyed in Asia for centuries for its natural sweet flavor) My son who is a Vegan would not eat it, I am a vegetarian and I did eat it, and what I didn't like was the dehydrated cane juice, it had cane sugar in it and I didn't see the need for the cane juice which has a strong taste. The LoHan fruit is powdered, but I couldn't find any info on it. Not all of the flavors have it in there so the best I can tell you is to read the ingredient list. It tells you each thing that is organic, so it would follow that if it doesn't say organic, it probably isn't. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
