While the coatig is enamel, I am wondering what metal it is made of. Aluminum? Stainless steel? ...

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.

I don't purchase items made of aluminum. I'm pretty sure this is stainless steel. I threw the box away, so I cannot check completely for you.

I really think this is a question for the manufacture not the people who buy it.

There are MANY varieties of stainless steel, and a good deal of them are magnetic, all stainless has some iron in it. This is not a high quality stainless at this price, it would likely rust if you left in water for days, or salt water for hours. I can promise you it isn't aluminum or it would bend, also aluminum is absolutely not magnetic. If it was plated it should say "chrome" and if anyone has bought one and it is plated they should send it back.

There's no aluminum in ours. The element is probably high carbon stainless, because a magnet will attract it but less so than the other parts such as the pan, the brackets on the heating element, etc. So it is all steel of some sort or another. (The parts that contact the food, that is.)

It must be aluminum. It wasn't shiny like stainless steel, but did have a nice nonstick finish. I bought it for my son and he has used it and so have I, and we both liked it. Seems like it is a little deeper than lighter weight ones, so the omelets I've made have been thicker than some. I hope this helps.

Metal - I would guess aluminum - with a thin coating of whatever color. The color wears off pretty fast ( 2 months) but the engraving is still readable.

I am assuming it is metal of some kind. The best way to know for sure is to ask the seller. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would guess stainless. Definitely not plastic, and too heavy for aluminum.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

not sure about stainless, but it is magnetic and thus iron based and anodized to look silver. im pretty happy overall with this overpriced mini-fridge, though it doent keep the bodies as frozen as id like them to be. good luck though!!!!

I dont believe it is aluminum but it is coated with non-stick material so it is hard to tell. In two years, mine hasnt rusted yet

It appears to be solid aluminum with a silver powdercoat.I cut the mounting plate with ease to modify it for a sounder.It's going on the sailboat this spring.

I'm not sure. I think that it is aluminum. It's hard to tell. It is covered with a painted porcelain, inside and outside.

I'm not sure what type of metal it is.... it is not ceramic or glass but some type of metal. It is not non-stick. I'm guessing stainless steel?

I'm not 100% sure, but the outside is definitely stainless steel. The inside isn't shiny like the outside so maybe that means it's aluminum. Also, the whistling mechanism isn't all that great. It seems to have lost most of the whistling noise, so you may want to get something else. Hope this helps!

re: "It is a form of steel containing chromium, resistant to tarnishing and rust" ...is stainless steel.This pan is not made of stainless steel. It is aluminized steel, which is plain old rust-prone carbon steel, with an aluminum coating:(ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel). It is in general terms similar to galvanized steel, but using aluminum-silicon alloy instead of zinc.

no porcelain enamel here. Entire unit: interior, exterior, pan and crumb tray, are steel. Not sure that any of it is stainless, though...
