I don't remember seeing that option. I wonder what you are sealing out ?? I haven't had any problem with cleaning. As you have seen we use our Caldera for a lot of very messy stuff...lots of grease, burned on sugar, and boiled over milk and rice for a sample. All I have ever cleaned with was the soapy dish cloth. I'll be curious as to what happens when you seal. Please post. c

The installation manual describes an optional sealing procedure using food grade silicone to seal into seam where the cook top meets the counter. I was just wondering if others have performed this sealing process during installation. It is not to seal the cooktop itself. Sorry if I confused you.

DAP says that their Kitchen & Bath silicone caulk/ sealant is safe for incidental food contact.

Since you're talking about sealing under the perimeter of a cooktop, I would think that any old silicone would be fine. To my way of thinking, any food that came in contact with the silicone would be exempt under the 'Five Second Rule'. ;)

Sealing the seam would help keep any massive boil over from leaking in the cabinet below. OTOH, my caulking skills are awful & silicone is so difficult that I'd opt not to seal & just deal with a little clean up as needed/ if needed.

AAAAAHHHH now I see....my cab guy just used the silicone that he had with him. All boilovers go in the large area around the burners and not out on the cooktop or countertop anyway. I like that 5 sec rule...it is always in use at my house LOL. c
