I too experienced the 'blue goo' - so disappointed! I used this only a couple times and hand washed it and stored it very carefully. Overtime something must have happened because one day I opened the cupboard and the maker had cracked and the blue goo leaked EVERYWHERE - I now have a permanent blue stain in my cupboard. The bowl now has a full crack around it and has split horizontally. Still need to try and talk to customer service about this - they need to fix this because it's clearly a product glitch not user error! Very sad it only lasted a few times for the price and I expected a high quality product.
