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.

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.

No...it is all one piece with the cannister. I just add dish soap and water and clean it after use, without submerging the base. It's warm, so it dries fast.

Yes. Bottom unscrews from glass for cleaning. Top, obviously, is removable as well.

It's removable , but you have to scrub it off with soap, water and a sponge and you can't re-use it .

As advertized it looks like it does. Haven't put water in yet but there's silicone, sealing the bottom glass to the base.

It is not water soluble. I don't know if it is silicone based. I use it on rubber gaskets in the pool equipment and on the plastic fittings etc. The unscrew easily afer the season.

It's removable but attached to the base by Velcro strips so does not slide around.

Yes it does. Not sure if it's silicone tho. Maybe something else cause its kinda sticky.

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.

Not sure about removable water flow rest. I have not encountered low water flow w/ mine.

I have the same issue once it gets dirty you have to switch out the silicone shell. Other than that it's great!

To a point. You can modify it with same silicone and make it more water resistant otherwise it says you can rinse it off and it will be fine. So a quick dip in the water without the modification.

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 suppose so. The tray is loose hard plastic, and easy to rinse out, if you wish. I don't find that it collects water.

Food does not get caught in base. Base is silicone & removable for cleaning as needed. This item seems to be a quality product to us. Hope this helps!
