My silicon pan gets white powdery stuff all over when stored. What is it, and do your pans get that?

No, I've not had that problem sorry. Time to contact the manufacturer I would say.

Mine has not so far. I read all of the amazon reviews and chose this one because the other reviewers said that pans that are not 100% silicone will smell funny and get a white residue. I chose this one because it's 100% silicone and have been completely satisfied with it.

Mine has been perfect - I asked the Harold import representative and these are made in Taiwan, which has a high standard of living and better quality control.

I've had the same problem, I don't know how that stuff gets in there. I just open it up and clean it every now and then.

Did you use Swans Down Cake flour, if not I think it is under cooked and too much oil. I always use butter or Crisco vegetable oil. Some times the temp. of you oven can cause this also. I had this happen to me with a new pan which was heavier than the one I normally use, the next time I used the pan I lower the heat from 350 to 325 and it came out okay. Hope this will be of some help to you.

I bought it as part of my food storage and emergency preparedness plans. I am a Mormon so food storage is part of my life. I have only used it 7-8 times over the past couple of years, but have never noticed a metal powder coming off. That sounds like a manufacturing defect with the finish. It has worked fine every time I used it. If you plan to use it very frequently I might consider one of the electric options or at least buy the motor for this one - I did.

You are most likely getting that smell from the silicone ring. You can just pull it out and hand wash it with some dish soap to get rid of the smell. Even though it may smell like whatever you cooked last it will not impart that smell (or taste) in whatever you are going to cook.

I have had mine for almost a year and nothing sticks as long as I cook on low or medium heat. A couple times my daughter used high heat and things stuck but we soaked the pan for just a few minutes and the mess all rinsed right out. Hope lower heat works for you!

I don't have those but I would think that would damage the pan. Also, I have a gas range so I'm no help. Sorry.

I have experienced this happening, but I find it only a minor inconvenience considering the pan is the perfect size for the purpose it is used, heats evenly, maintains its shine, and is very easy to clean.

I haven't had that problem. Do you use spray on oil? That can cause it. If I get any spots like this, I dampin the pan and sprinkle baking soda on it. Let sit and then scour off with a non abrasive pad. Actually I put a piece of aluminum foil under the rack if I am going to cook meat..I am a rather lazy cook..good luck

I have that when I use salt, etc. especially when I cook beans, that my pans leave a white sorta stain in the bottom too. This does come out though with a little extra washing. I usually don't worry about it because it will usually go away the next time I use it. Does not affect the taste of food.

Tina I don't know what that would be. I've never had that problem, but I would definitely call the manufacturer and let them know about it. That is really strange. Sorry I couldn't help you. How long have you had the skillet? Can you return it?

Same problem. I sprayed mine also and they still came out messed up. I won't use it nowl. I bought a nice metal pan and have no problems with it.

I have not have that problem (yet). We normally leave it with some water in it (probably a bad habit) but we normally use it on a daily basis and we do replace the water before boiling it. When we are away for a few days we empty it and dry it by hand just in case. I had the problem you mentioned (white spots, not rust) with my previous one.

Mine were fine until they too the phosphates out of dishwasher soaps. Google it and you'll find that this has ruined a lot of cookware.

I wash mine with a little dawn dish soap in very hot water, rinse very well, and air dry. I know it is clean, but yes there is always a slight film because it is silicon, just the nature of silicon.

Jack, I didn't notice that effect with the one I'm using, I would guess perhaps the problem migth be happening due to overheat the pan ! Since I bought it I took very serious the recomendation not to heat it too much and not too fast. Hope this help

After a month or so, little flecks of nonstick coating started appearing in my bread. I am told it is harmless, but who wants to see little gray flecks in their bread. I threw the machine away.
