Sorry If this is a dumb question, but I noticed that the ad says that the thermometer and ball valve are all stainless steel, but is the kettle SS?

yes it is - but, be wary, mine leaked through the sidewall. like, through the actual wall of the kettle, not near the valve or thermometer. I sent i back for a refund and just spent a few bucks more for this - http://morebeer.com/products/heavy-duty-brew-kettle-ball-valve-32-quart8-gallon.html

All stainless. Everything is stainless. This is an awesome kettle and well worth the money. Not a cheap flimsy kettle.

Yes it is. The bottom is very thick. About three times thicker than the side. The handles are also SS and are attached very securely. I've used mine about 4 times and I may order another one like it.

Yes, the kettle is stainless. It's a good kettle, you can put a high heat under it and the contents do not burn.

The inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It isn't coated with plastic like some makes are.

Yes, although there are some plastic pieces too, for the light (which burns out) and the filter(which is joke). The kettles made under the Courant name are all stainless inside, but the lid is plastic.

The only plastic exposed to the water in the kettle is the sight window that shows the water level. Other wise it is all stainless steel.

Yes, the burner is but at the controls end there are other materials such as stainless steel, brass, plastic etc. this is a great burner. It puts out a lot of heat for large kettle cooking.

As far as I know you have no exposure to BPA from stainless steel which,except for the plastic handle and the cover,is what the kettle is made from.I would say your OK, but you may want to verify that with the manufacturer.

Sorry I don't know. I did contact the parent company by email and phone when I had concerns about a coating inside the tea kettle. Even though we communicated they never did give me a direct response . They could probably answer your question. This tea kettle looks great when new but that is short lived. If you have not already purchased this kettle I would heed the negative reviews and look elsewhere.

It is completely stainless steel on the inside aside from two small pieces of plastic. One that seals the thermometer at the bottom and another that connects to the water level gauge on the handle. According to Cuisanart these are BPA free.

The Bodum kettle has a stainless steel interior base, but the sides are plastic. It is a very good kettle, by the way.

Yes, it is all stainless. The one that is black, must have been an error or something...

I don't know. I assume it's steel since it's fairly solid/heavy. I have been using this for several months now and am quite happy with it! I try not to leave water sitting in the kettle when I'm done. Highly recommended product. I really like the insulated, perfect-fitting (tight) lid.

yes - the entire inside is plastic. I don't use the kettle tbh as the boiled water tastes of plastic, like a bottle of water you've left in the car on a hot day. Its in the cupboard and hasn't been used pretty much since I bought it. Try a metal kettle or something else. This is a bad buy.

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

I have another Copco stainless steel kettle that we use several times a week. While neither the kettle nor lid has rusted (since stainless steel doesn't rust), the screw holding the plastic knob to the lid has rusted badly after 2 months. Since this rusty screw is inside, under the lid, we're afraid to use the pot with the cover on. Apparently, the screw is not stainless steel. We handwash and empty the kettle after use, so the only exposure to moisture is the steam from boiling. That said, please note that I'm talking about a different model. Still, it's important to remember that the company only says that the kettle is stainless steel -- not the screws, spout hinge or ends of the handle -- so my problem may apply here too.

It's all SST, only handle and lid is plastic which doesn't touch the water being boiled. I didn't have any issue with taste.

No Rosaline...This is not stainless steel...wish I knew too...This is not sitting in one corner of my kitchen....I got stainless steel Hawkins which is "Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker by Hawkins " and this is stainless steel. Hawkins also launched it's future stainless steel brand which is very good quality stainless steel too but they don't have 2 litres of that brand I guess. But the one I typed earlier is stainless steel. I got it yesterday and it is good. Way better than Presto. I can guarantee but don't the buy the Contura.

The working parts are all stainless steel, but of course the base and handle will be of a plastic material but nothing that comes into contact with the water contents. At the back of the kettle there is a clear plastic window that shows the amount of water in the kettle. This appears to be a small reservoir and again does not appear to be part of the main water containment area. The filter inside is of a high density nylon mesh. The lid exterior is plastic but the lid interior appears to be stainless steel.Hope that helps.
