what is the top part made of? Is it silicone or plastic?

It feels like silicone. This is the details on package. "Soft-bite coating is FDA and CPSIA compliant. No mention of the exact material it is made of for mouth part.

You know what, I don't know! I thought it was rubber and I saved the packaging. When I looked at it, it does not state what the material is - it only says "Soft-bite coating is FDA and CPSIA compliant. (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act), and free of Phthalates, Adipates, Lead, and BPA." It also says if you have questions to contact: Sherrill Manufacturing, Inc., Consumer Relations, 102 E. Seneca Street, Sherrill, New York 13461. Sorry, no phone number listed on the package.

I think it's silicone and the part number is 219167 so you can check with the manufacturer if you want complete assurance. It works great and I've bought it more than once. '

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

To be honest....I am not quite sure. It feels like a potential hybrid between plastic and rubber - so maybe silicone? :| It is flexible, but also durable....if that helps any.

plastic, however, it seems to be very sturdy. We have been using it for about 6 months and it is still perfect.

I'm not a plastic expert, but the bottom part is very clear like glass, probably a polypropylene. The top is softer, a little like hard rubber. The base is a typical large rubber suction cup. I love this thing in my kitchen for dish soap. The measure markings on the side make it so easy to fill with soap and water.

It's a bendable plastic, it's not silicone. Worth every penny. I love it. Easy to store and clean.

It appears the only silicone is the collapsible part, top and rim are hard plastic

Hard to tell, believe it or not, top could be either, bottom plastic. However, it is very heavy duty. I would recommend this product. Only good for the face of a dog though. Not powerful enough for anything else.

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

This product is plastic. Works great on top rack. The heating element would probably damage it if used on the bottom rack.

I think it's all plastic. It's pretty cool if you can deal with the occasional leaking around where the base meets the body. I like mine.

The main part is made of plastic with rubber on the edges. I have been using mine for about 2 years and have had no problems. I love it.

It's made of a flexible plastic called TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane. It's a much sturdier material than silicone, not as soft, and does not get stretched out of shape.

It is plastic. Don't know what type. Has triangle with PE inside on the bottom.
