Are these made from 100% silicone? As in when you twist it does it turn whiteish?

I have been using these for 6 months to freeze home made food for her and they are very good quality! They do not turn white no matter how hard you twist them. Hope this helps you.

Yes. The whole entire thing is silicone. It's quite flexible but maintains its shape well. Though I've not used it extensively, some silicone items I have do start to lose their shape with frequent use.

I looked at the package, and it says "Made from food grade silicone." It doesn't list any other materials, so I assume that's the only ingredient. Hope that helps!

They are either silicon, or silicon-like. Whatever they are made of, they are incredibly pliable, do not dry out , and work extremely well.

No, they come in a white crystal form. I actually haven't used it yet so I don't know if they stay white or clear when absorbed. I bought them to make icy cool neckerchiefs.

Hi Cristina, thanks for your interest in this product sorry we don't have it with the white silicone skin.

I bought two packs of these, based on the 100 Days of Food recommendation as well, and mine all turn white. Mine are thin as well, like one other commenter stated. Unfortunately I didn't discover this until it was too late to return them.

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

Yes, the silicone dipped lights really flicker. They are really pretty. I have one burning in a primitive lamp right now. They give of a perfect warm flickering glow.

No, These will not melt they are Bamboo (wood) i think they are better than silicone personally, however i treated them before using with olive oil .

I don't know since I haven't used those. Have you tried the silicone version of these with them? If so them I would assume so.

They have a snug seal but not a groove for twisting. So, you do twist/shimmy the top off, but it's smooth on the top and bottom. I hope that makes sense!

Hello Mary Beth, These are manufactured in the USA. Compare with other brands not manufactured in the USA and you will find they are more durable, better quality then that of the Chinese made counterparts, and they are NOT manufactured with fillers, much like the Chinese made cups. These are 100% food grade silicone. To test for fillers in the Chinese made cups, stretch the cup and you will see the the color turn white in the creases or bends. Ours do NOT turn white because they are NOT manufactured with fillers. 100% food grade silicone creates a better product all the way around. It is cheaper for the larger retailers and some online retailers to purchase off shore and ship state side. We chose not to follow that process and found a manufacturer that met our needs for silicone baking cups. We hope you enjoy their quality. - The Quality Indulgence Team

I don't know what the crystals r made of but r white when I hang it at first and by day 30 they turn yellow. And they work great! The bag was full of water and the crystal were clumped together and yellow. Don't hesitate to buy, these work!!!!

Little Gems are now guaranteed to pass the twist test. However, our silicone products have always been independently tested to ensure they meet FDA recommendations.Kind regards,Mike LawSunsella

As far as I can tell, it is 100% silicone. I have used it for molding custards and it works well, very flexible and easy to get the custards out intact.

Hi. These are thinner and not as heavy as silicone, probably not as durable as well, but they work great for delicate cooking such as cookies and desserts.
