Do any plastic parts come in contact with the boiling water? Is the water gauge window plastic or glass? If the lid is the only place this happens, is it removable?

It depends on whether the water guage window is plastic or glass and I can't tell. The lid is not removable.

Yes. The water gauge window is clear plastic. The lid, which is not removable (it tilts) has gray plastic parts surrounding the opening. And, there is a plastic screen/filter on the inside of the pouring spout.

The lid is plastic. Steam will condense on the plastic lid and drip back into the kettle. You can use it without the lid and then there are no plastic parts in contact with the water.

The lid is plastic but other parts of the kettle are stainless steel. If you fill the water up to 2/3 of the kettle or less, the water won't touch the lid. I normally turn off the kettle as soon as the water boils to avoid the steam dripping back into the kettle.

No, none at all. Inside it's only metal. There is no water level indicator (only amount of water you are pouring into it and max indicator, all metal). The only plastic in the inside would be the top lid. But water would not touch it directly when boiling, I guess the steam does. Water is only in contact with metal from base to top.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

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 only sign of what seems to be some form of plastic is on the small filter at the spout. Does not seem to cause any problem!! We are highly satisfied with this kettle and would recommend it to you.

Not sure if it BPA free or not, cause have bought mine a few years ago, so don't have a package.The lid is plastic inside. It can contact the water if you pour too too much and it is boiling and touching the lid.If you add regular amount of water, it doesn't happen.Yes, you need to open the lid to pour water.

It is sturdy plastic that does not get extremely hot even holding boiling water. I use heat pads if I need to hold it for longer than just afew seconds. PBA, not sure.

Sorry to reply so late; I've been away. The heating element is covered. It is inside the stainless-steel bottom of the pot. The little pipe running up the side near the handle is, I think, the temperature sensor to determine when water is boiling (sensing steam), and shutting off the heating element.

Yes the water view little window is inside the kettle and also the little filter that keeps hard water from going in your cup as some kind of plastic on it. Hope this helps you.

The boiling liquid doesn't touch the lid as it boils but I don't know if it's BPA free. The top is plastic and touches if you pour the liquid while it's still hot.

There actually several plastic parts that contact the water, not just the window. There are two screw covers/washers on the bottom, and a strainer that the water passes through when you pour it (to keep sediment that forms on the bottom of the pot out of your tea). This strainer is removable, but the other plastic parts are not.

Based on that video reviews on Youtube, there is plastic inside. Regardless if water touches the plastic or not, the condensation from the steam will drip back down to the rest of the boiling water. This is the reason why A LOT of people now are asking for totally non-plastic material inside.

The lid id plastic, but this would not come in contact with the water unless you held it upside down. There is also a screen in the spout that is stainless, but this fine screen is held in place with a thin black plastic ring that has a small splash guard at the top. It is too high to be in constant contact with the water until poured. So this plastic only incidentally contacts the water briefly. We use the pot every day and it is the best electric tea pot we have ever owned or used.

Hi Jerome. I made sure when I set the jars in there to make sure they were not touching. The boiling water should not displace the jars. I had no issues with it.
