are the rosette irons made of cast iron or aluminum?

Well this is an old question and all question deserve an answer. Rosette irons come in both cast iron and cast aluminum. I have used a cast iron one for over 40 years, probably more like 60 days. When it retired, I inquired other users about the cast aluminum one and their answers gave the courage to but it. I decided that manufacturers usually do not change their manufacturing methods unless the change is a good one.

I'm not certain but I know it's not aluminum, not the one we bought and it's some form of cast iron but it's been awhile since we bought it, you should ask the seller, they should know that answer best.

The ones I got are steel. When I ordered I didn't notice that they were available in aluminum too

These are stainless steel. Originally I purchased aluminum and had to discard them.

They are made of metal. Not aluminum. They are heavier than that. More likely zinc or a zinc alloy. They seem very durable and the finish is good. I put mine on some old kitchen cabinets that I painted and put up in the garage. They look very nice.

I'm pretty sure it's aluminum. I know it's not cast iron. I've used ours several times since we bought it last summer and it works great. I upgraded the cheap glass pieces to nice reflective copper colored glass shards from the fireplace/spa store and it made a huge difference in esthetics.

Hi Kat - My neighbor has an original & it is aluminum as well. It was never made of iron. Iron would be too slow to heat & cool if it was. I can whip out sandwiches in just a few minutes with my new one just as my mom did. Please note that I have nothing to do with the company other than the fact that I bought a couple of them. I gave one to my sister & Brother-in-law for Christmas with a small box of Velveeta, dragging back old family traditions. Bottom line - Enjoy!

Yes. Cast Iron, nice and smooth and flat. This is a great machine: powerful and quiet.

It is made of aluminum, but easy to clean up. (They use to be made of cast iron - many years ago.) I bought the toas-tites for my son-in-law who is a scout leader with two sons and they are used and enjoyed by all.

they are aluminum. They have only lasted us about a year. The handles have come loose, the ceramic has cracked on the 4 quart sauce pan and the little frying pan.

I think that Rome's pie iron is made of cast iron, where this one is made from aluminum. They do the same thing though!

The main body of the stove is cast iron. The majority (top, sides, controls box) is sheet metal

It is not cast iron as it is very light, and it could be cast aluminum. It has the words "Pearl Life" on it which may be what it is made of. It cleans up great and I spray it with Pam before putting my batter in and they come right out.

Only used aluminum, but I was disappointed the set didn't come with a few rivnuts. Set works great, though!

Yes. I use this handle on all my rosette irons, I have about 7. That is if all your irons are from Kitchen Suppy company.

David - Cast Aluminum. Nice heavy material...should last many years. Put mine in last summer...they come on every night, even when buried in deep snow.

Irons are steel. Drivers are graphite. Hope this helps. It's good value for the money.
