Does anyone see brown sticky liquid residue left behind in the pan after using (with either white and brown eggs)?

I thought the residue was due to our Mississippi water. I use my almost daily. I haven't noticed a smell but definitely a brown residue.I ordered my mom a unit so I will check with her to see if she is seeing the same thing.Thanks!

This is just residue from the water. Wiping it out occasionally with a "magic eraser" type pad works really well to remove.

They all do it. Ive had about 4 egg cookers in my lifetime and every one has a residue. I clean the pan - just a little scrubbing after each use will get rid of it.I also clean the egg holder and top. The person who uses vinegar sounds smart to me. I may start doing that.

I have not seen any residue but I always use a little clear vinegar in mine due to hard water (1 Tsp.)

The sticky residue does occur, especially if washed in the dishwasher. The pan needs to be cleaned by hand for a successful washing.The pan is also somewhat flimsy when empty and the bottom is textured, making cleaning a bit trickier at the seams.

I have had mine for years and only use Olive oil. Never had any sticking issue

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.

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

Used mine only twice before I returned it. The first time I roasted a turkey and then used the drippings to make gravy. Worked very well and cleaned up easily. A couple of weeks later I roasted a chicken and again used the drippings to make gravy. After I washed it I notices 2 or 3 areas where the finish was worn off. I had only used a wash cloth and Ivory Liquid to wash it. Nothing at all abrasive. The chicken was stuffed with lemons, so I don't know if the acid caused the problem. If it did, then there is a major problem with the finishing. In any case I immediately returned the pan.

No, but I've found the more I clean my pan (I use Barkeeper's Friend soft liquid cleanser), the less food tends to stick to it even though it doesn't have a non-stick surface.

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 use only an occasional coating of canola oil and have not had the problem. Since one can damage the non-stick coating either mechanically or chemically, I would suggest that you contact Krups and ask them. Try http://krups.custhelp.com/app/ask. I am sure you are not the first person with this problem.

We don't use ours very often so I had to go see if it was ok-we just bought and had only used once. However, it is fine. I greased it up just like I do my iron skillet after use before putting away. I happened to have some non-stick spray that I drowned it in! We store in the basement. I did see a couple tiny spots that rubbed right off-which was probably a spot I just didn't saturate well. The last time we used it was the last week of August-so that is how long it has been stored in the basement. Hope this helps............

I believe it is a teflon-like coating on the pan. As you correctly note, Teflon is fluorine. The manual and the advertising highlight that the coating contains some platinum. Anyway, whatever it is, it works pretty well. I have never had any food residue fail to come loose from the pan with just a light wipe from a wet paper towel.

I have not had that problem but, then again, I have always used oil when cooking with this pan. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

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

Put the pan on the counter. Pour a glass of water in the pan so the bottom of the pan and the label are completely covered. Let soak for a few hours. It will slide right off. No goo or residue left at all. I left mine sitting for six hours, because I got busy and forgot about it. Perhaps an hour or two would be sufficient, not sure.

I always cook with oil to minimize sticking. I soak it overnight in water so it's really easy to clean the next day. Best of luck

Have tried it both ways and it doesn't matter. The coating in that egg cooker looks like is designed to make the eggs stick regardless what oil, butter or spray is used. Last time I used it I spend over 5 min. to clean it.
