the new Silicone

[Snuffy-ga]

I recently made a hole in a stainless pot lid that was pretty bad. I used a silicone pot holder as a gasket. I know the same type of silicone is used for muffins bread etc but someone said I should avoid the use of this stuff. I also used silicone for the sealant of the lid. Am I going to die? How do I know what will cause a problem with the contact of spirits? Do I just need to throw everything away and spend $400 for a pre-fab unit that uses the same sort of stuff?

First Id read what it was good for. Then not use it anyway. ya should really look into what ya use in a still . alcohol can break down a lot of stuff.
