Does the sterno effect the taste of the marshmallow?

No, it doesn't. This is the cutest smores maker I've ever seen. I love ours.

I would say so. So far - my cubes have not had any odd taste at all - whether made the day before or weeks before. At one point I think I left it in there full of ice for about two months - and the only issue I had was that I had to use a butter knife to crack them apart inside the blue bucket when I finally did use them. But the taste was fine. Really must be the silicone. : ) I should add that I always fill it only with filtered water as well - not sure if that makes a difference...

No it does not. It is made of a harder plastic that does not seen to emit any taste at all. The one thing that you want to remember to do is to, be sure to clean the seals and port in the top with good hot water to remove any residue of what ever you might have had in it. That done, it will last forever. I have had mine for about 3 to 4 years and it is still as good as the day I got it. That care of it, and it will that care of you. Enjoy !

Perhaps you used too much sterno or you are very sensitive to the smell. I would try another sterno product to see if another may be better. Sterno is used widely at inside social events (e.g. weddings and suite rooms at stadiums) and are usually not a problem. Maybe opening a window a little would also help. I also use the gel type sterno. I hope this helps you.

It's been a couple of years since I used it to make pudding. If I remember correctly, I should have made it so that it was chilled for at least 24 hrs because my grandson didn't like it the day I made it. It tasted better the next day. I don't think it would probably change the taste of what you're adding it to. I don't know what you're using it for though.

a little bit...but our popsicles didn't taste funny and I think it will dissipate over time, it's very mild and probably just how silicone smells initially.

We use it for grilling shrimp, scewers etc... Sterno taste was there but we changed over to 4 charchol brickettes and that works well too.

I do not recall any interference with the taste of cooking two different foods at one time. As far as the smell........that I do not remember.

The feel on the fingers is definitely different but I haven't noticed a smell or taste difference in the same way I have in our disposable picnic wine glasses. However, I only drink red wine and the more delicate flavor of a white might be affected.

Yes regular sterno fuel I start with hot water and it stays very hot. I love mine. I have 3 of them

No, not at all. I wish it did though. I would say that it's because there is no flame in order to give it that taste. It does, however, take on the texture of being put on the grill.

No, it is not the same. Sterno cans contain a gel-type fuel, and the can has an open hole in the top (approximately 2 inches in diameter). The Bakers and Chefs Safe Heat cans are filled with a liquid fuel (9.24 ounces), and they have a wick sealed into the top of the can. This is why you can get at least 6 to 7 hours of burn time out of a can of the Bakers and Chefs Safe Heat (sometimes I can get close to 8 hours), but the Sterno cans last only 1 to 2 hours. Having a wick also means that these cans produce a steady, controlled flame, whereas the cans of Sterno do not. I have used both types of fuel cans, and these are much better than the Sterno fuel. As an added bonus, however, these cans of Bakers and Chefs Safe Heat do fit inside the Sterno brand of folding camp stove (comes in a blue package), and the stove is extremely sturdy. The Sterno brand stove also is open to the ground on the bottom, so you can build a small fire in it if you want to conserve your canned fuel, or you run out of it. (The cans fit in a metal clip in the stove, so you can use it on a picnic table or similar surface without burning anything.) So while the Sterno brand of fuel is nearly useless, their folding camp stove is absolutely fabulous!

I've not noticed any difference in the taste myself. I did notice the change in the box design.

I purchased 5 of the burners. I used them outside the first time so no issues. The second time we used two of them at the kitchen table and they smoked just a little bit but not much of a smell. The third time we used them in an office so the space was larger however we didn't have the burning alcohol smell. We smelled the marshmellows! We only put about 1/4 full of sterno in each unit so I don't know if that helped or not. Each time I put a little less sterno in the Hibachi and it smoked less and flamed less.

Not that I've noticed. If you're very sensitive it might be the slightest bit sweeter because it breaks up the lactose and one of the two saccharides is glucose.

I've been using it for about a month and haven't noticed a change in taste. Although I'm also no water connoisseur. If. It only occurs while in your fridge, possible it's due to other food odors.

I've drank water from the mixer after it has been "spun" from curious and amazed friends. I've noticed zero taste difference, alas i dont think it spins fast enough to change or alter the taste in any way.
