is it metal or plastic?

plastic. I'd say a middle grade plastic...not flimsy, not heavy duty. It works well.

It is plastic ... And I would add that it is not near as easy as they make it look. I'm an experienced home baker and found that dough stuck to the plastic, got stuck in the cutout sections and/ or did not seal with the closing of the two parts. I would not buy this if given another chance.

it's plastic, but sturdy plastic...and for the price of it, you can't touch anything like if. Williams & Sonoma had something like this, and it was three times the price. But I will say this...Yes they are beautiful when you are finished, but even the reviews of W&S; gave them only three stars because most people found them not to be so easy to fill with filling then put on the top of the crust.. I too found it to be true even with this one. I have used mine twice, but unless I really really need to make a statement with tiny pies, I will probably not use it again...

It is indeed metal, a fairly cheap steel but perfect for its purpose. I've been very happy with mine.

plastic. But it is very heavy-duty and has lived beyond my 5 year old playing with it.

Plastic and not super sturdy feeling. Mine has been used over a year and hasn't broken, but not what you're looking for if you want metal or something sturdy to the feel

It's a combination of metal and plastic, but the plastic is sturdy. I don't feel like it would easily break.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

It is plastic. Not cheap or flimsy. Just need to be careful not to scratch and it should last a long long time.

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

It is metal. Easy to install and works like a dream. The holder is plastic and I replaced that with something I bought locally. But it was an easy swap.

I believe it's plastic with chrome mylar covered over it. Not sure. Pretty sure it's not metal.

It's definitely plastic. However, it's very flexible and can easily be mistaken for rubber.

It is metal but not sure what, probably a heavy aluminum. It works wonderfully, I just bought a second one for my sister.

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

Plastic, I think. It is quite sturdy but I don't use it. It is clear plastic so not terribly noticeable
