I'm sorry, I don't know, and I don't know what "BPA" is. Now I've got to Google "BPA" to find out what it is...lol...Glad you asked this question. Thanks.

It sure is! Its made from a BPA-free Silicone. I'm a female who's trying to conceive so its important to me things are BPA-free.

Hi Amanda, I can confirm that the silicone is BPA free and safe. Silicone is a natural substance that is formed by bonding silicon with oxygen. Silicon is an element that is abundant in sand and rock making up 28% of the earth's crust.I hope this helps but please do let me know if you have any further questions.Kind regards, BrightSpring

I got this off the steamer's manufacturer's website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical commonly used to make polycarbonate plastic, a clear, shatter-proof material. Progressive makes a conscious effort to avoid these materials when designing and producing our kitchen products."

The manual that comes with the steamer doesn't make any reference to the type of plastic used. You might want to go to the oster.com web site and ask them.

Silicone does not contain BPA, PVC or Pthalates. Silicone is a synthetic rubber that is elementally different. It is the hard plastic handle part does not say for sure that it is BPA free. It does say it is dishwasher safe which means it can withstand high temp. http://www.hhs.gov/safety/bpa/

I don't know if it is BPA free. The instructions say "hand-wash only". I really like mine. It is amazing how long the ice lasts.

It's BPA free so probably you could do it safely, but I didn't buy it for that and have never tried it. There are plastic areas between silicone sections so I personally wouldn't use it for direct cooking or steaming because of sustained high heat that would occur.

It is my understanding that the red part is silicone (not silicon, though that is an element of silicone). To find out for sure about BPA, I would contact the company. They have a web site: http://www.tovolo.com. I hope this puts you on the right track. Happy cooking!

Sorry, I don't know what bpa is. This product is very good especially when your on the go. The steam comes out of the top.The fish I make is really tender and taste.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

Since it says Plastic not silicon, it might contain BPA. Otherwise they would have mentioned BPA free plastic

I would suggest contacting Norpro to be sure but I assume as it is silicone it is bpa free to be food safe.

Not sure about steamer but they are microwave safe. They are plastic so you want to be aware of how often you are reheating and if you even want to knowing all plastic releases chemicals over time.
