Is there any plastic that touches the water?

No plastic. I just bought another one as a back up because it is one piece, no seams. It has issues, one must learn not to overfill it, and must pour slowly, but I think it is the best affordable one out there. No plastic. It does, did, have a seal around the lid but that is gone, with no ill effect.

No, a definite plus. I suppose technically steam could touch plastic on the top of the whistle and drip back down but I rarely use the whistle.

No, there is no plastic that is in contact with food. It is not the best immersion blender I have had, but in most cases it is adequate. My favorite was the Ninja, but did not see that on Amazon when I needed to replace it.

Assuming Bialetti has made no changes to the product since I purchased it last year, the answer is NO, THE WATER DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH PLASTIC.

Plastic for all but the water jacket around the front. That part is aluminum.

It is plastic so I expect well but so far have not had it around sea water. Little 6 yr olds can pump up large kayak approved for class V rapids except for the final pumps to finish the job.

According to the details listed on Amazon: "Made From United States Food and Drug Administration Approved Plastic That's Safe for Food and Water Contact." Hope this helps!

The water does not touch any metal. The pitcher part is completely glass except for the lid (which you can just open and pour if you don't want the water to touch the plastic either).

Yes, the lid is plastic so if it is on its side or upside down, the water will come in contact with plastic.

Are there any similar appliances like this that don't have water in contact with plastic?

No, there is no plastic. One metal tube slides inside another metal tube, and a metal button pops through an alignment hole. I have taken mine on three floats in the last week, totaling about 35 miles, and love this paddle.

There is no plastic in contact with water on the inside of the samovar. Everything that is in contact is either tempered glass or stainless steel. I hope that helps!

I have not seen that it touches plastic anywhere. There is a silicon gasket between the glass metal part of the lid, but it doesn't get liquid on it.

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, good question. The only plastic is on the spout and the handle. You flip the spout to pour and the handle does not touch the water.

The small circular piece of plastic on the top does not contain or touch the water.

Probably some sort of polymer, might be clay though... definitely not plastic.

We did not have a plastic strip. We just put the weighted pad on the brick of our pond and the blue part floats nicely in our pond. Our frog loves his new "Pad". Our frog even has a mate now, he sits on his pad and calls for her and she comes and sits on the pad with him daily.
