Is the issue of the stainless steel grids clarified? Are they stainless steel or chrome? Please someone from the selling company or anyon. Thanks!

The only issue is that people did not read carefully when ordering - As mentioned by other respondents you have a choice of stainless shelves or chrome - The stainless are definitely better than chrome but much more expensive. log on to www.sausagemaker.com for an online catalog where all options are clearly stated and thus make an informed decision.....Regardless of which you choose this is a great machine - Mine is going on 8 years old and has not given a moments trouble.......Merry Christmas

A magnet will not attach to the rack so that points to stainless. Please tell me if there are further reports of chrome rather than stainless!

When we bought ours they were out of the chrome so upgraded us to the stainless. I would recommend the stainless very much. We love it so much we helped buy another as a shared gift.

We bought the stainless grid. They have both choices.nthis one came with steel when we got it.

When we purchased, there were two options: stainless steel racks with approx. 1/4" square grid, and chromed steel racks with approx. 1" square grid. We choose the 1/4" SS, and are happy we did!

I'm sorry I can't help you out with that question...I have long since thrown the packaging away and it's not printed anywhere on the racks (and my memory's not that good!). I can tell you they are VERY sturdy/strong steel with three supporting bars on the bottom side also. The squares are 3/8ths (10mm) apart, so nothing falls through. I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and they don't show any sign of rust at all, and I'm sure they never will. I have had flimsier ones that flex and rust in the dishwasher and these are first rate! Hope this helps a little!

I believe it is black porcelain. They work very good, and clean up nicely. These cast iron replacement grids work, and last much longer than the wire grids. Hope this helps.

They will all eventually rust like original style because all that they made stainless now is the new decorative sides. The rack looks like the same old chrome plating and the box says it's rust resistant (only). Beware of the false advertising above, it's not what it appears to be!

I think I made a mistake, but I washed some of the parts in the dishwasher, and although they are called stainless steel, the whole finish came off those parts, they did turn to dark grey, and they even showed rust. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the stainless steel. I don't know what kind of metal the tubing is. In spite of how the unit works, which is good, I never expected the stainless steel to behave the way it did.

Thanks, Randy. I'm glad to hear this because I just ordered a set from Amazon! Some anodized cookware has circular rings on the bottom that are very rough and would damage the glasstop burners. I'm glad to hear these are okay!

I bought the stainless one. Installed, there's nothing black on it. If you send me an email address,I can send you a picture.

Hmmm...sadly I think they might be aluminum. I've never seen a stainless basket, and I've been using this kind of pot for two decades.

Interesting. I contacted the manufacturer directly and they state that it should be genuine stainless steel, which of course would never rust. Their answer to the rust comments was that it was more likely mineral build-up confused as rust. I think most thinking adults, however, know the difference. Anyway, finding anything of quality at any price is harder and harder these days.

The grill cooking grids are definitely stainless. Not sure about the flavorizer bars.

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.

I know this is an old question, but I wanted to post this in case new people are viewing. The screws on the hella supertones are not stainless. If you live in an area that salts the roads, they WILL corrode and look terrible after a while. I just removed mine yesterday after only having them for two years. I'm re-ordering them because I like the horns, but will be changing out the assembly hardware with stainless steel bolts.

The grid is indeed plastic, but with the right kind of paint, you can make it look like the proper brass grid. I recommend Rustoleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish Gold. :) I used that on mine and it looks great. :)

Mine were stainless on outside and as I recall they all had copper bottoms. I gave them away after about a month because I didn't like them at all. It said non-stick; however, only the skillets were non-stick. Also, if took FOREVER for them to heat up and boil anything, even on high setting. I ordered some Cooks Essentials from QVC (which I had for years previously), and I'm very pleased with them. I was hoping to save money by purchasing Paula Deen set but that was a mistake. Hope this helps--sorry.

The ones I bought are stainless steel and worked just fine. I do plan on purchasing from young living next time. Nothing against this seller. More beneficial for is all.

The grid is all stainless steel and of high quality, no plating. It has some small plastic feet the hold it about 3/4 " off the bottom of the sink and some clear rubber bumpers keeping it from scratching the sides all the way around. My wife and I are very pleased with it; it is well worth the investment.

The quality is the best one I ever had. I have mine they look like brand new. My friends, also are asking me where I purchased some hight quality stainless steel! You will love that.
