Is any plastic getting in contact with food (e.g. lid)?

Yes the middle of the lid could if you lay it sideways etc. You could always place something like parchment paper on top of food to shield or keep it straight up to avoid touching.

Yes, the lid is plastic, if the thermo is not up right the food can make contact.

It's the same material as most plastic containers, so you might find that issue if you leave oil on it for a while. I personally hand wash my box and haven't noticed residue on my part. I guess it just really depends on the food. Sorry if I can't offer much insight in this.

No. Can bottom is metal. Sides are coated paper board. Lid is plastic. Metal rim around top with foil seal under plastic lid. Seemed very well sealed and preserved.

No no bits of metal in or out of can or around when used. THe lid comes off in one piece.

No. The lids are all plastic. The containers are thick sturdy glass. The tops are 100% plastic, but this allows them to seal completely. Personally, I do not microwave food with the lid on, also, the lids don't really come in contact with food, other than to prevent spills. I am happy with this product. I've used the containers daily for a year and they are in new condition so they wear well.

Plastic. But, it is the special non-toxic variety that does not leach any of its properties into your food. I love this thing!

Yes, the rubber gasket between the stainless jar & blade assembly is exposed to food (about 1/4" around the inner perimeter of the gasket).

Yes, unfortunately the lid is plastic. There are no markings on the lid either to identify which type of plastic it is. I do not suggest putting the lid in the dishwasher, and wash with mild soap. there is only a small part of the lid that actually touches the liquid, but it does not make constant contact with the lid, unless the contents are stored upside down. Hope that helps.

That's news to me. Mine did not have any such plastic, or I don't remember it as being an issue if there was one.

No, the lid does not touch the food. There is a plastic insert on the underside of the lid that fits into the top of the glass canister that creates a somewhat airtight seal. Unfortunately, the paint can chip off the lid and end up in your canister though. Other than that, I really like the canisters and have 4 of them which I use on a regular basis.

No plastic, but I started getting headaches. I stopped using this boilr and started boiling water in a pan on the stove top and my headaches went away.

No. Not sure how that could be when the food is cooked in the ceramic liner pot. There's no metal touching the food and the top is glass.

No. If I pack nut butter or olives I place the container in a zip lock bag to avoid leaking. I don't want to put my husband's lunch in plastic, however, so the stainless is not harmful to him and easy to clean.

No, I am really conscience about that stuff- the plastic seems to be a food grade density type. Only when I pour does it come in contact with the plastic spout. Very easy to clean, and cool to watch water boiling.

The dehydrator and trays are stainless steel - no plastic at all. The door is a polycarbonate, which is a form of plastic, however I don't see a possible scenario where your food would touch the door. :) Enjoy your dehydrator!

Very. I have had no issues in cleaning the lid. The outside is actually more stain resistant than the plastic versions I have had in the past.

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.
