is there plastic inside the pot, (handles,strainers)-or silicone seals? is the water level indicator lined with silicone?

The plastic water-level window is plastic but I don't believe it's lined with a silicone seal. Also, there's a metal mesh strainer but it's lined by plastic as well (again, no silicone). OH and the lid's mostly plastic.

Hello,No, I haven't noticed. Everything looks clean inside - no plastic, stainless steel only. Why would there be plastic there in the first place, anyway?

the top of the water level indicator button is plastic, however, the section below the "MAX" button appears to be a hollow metal tube - my second favorite engineer concurs with this assessment.

There is a small pea sized valve or something that lets water into the level gauge. They are stated to be PBA free. There is some plastic on the pour screen, but it wouldn't really be soaking in the water, so I suspect that is a non issue.

The handles are coated plastic/vinyl over metal. I have only used the pots a few times, they seem to be durable.

Appears to be all stainless steel but no for sure. Overall very happy with pot. Probably going to buy 10 gallon equivalent.

The inside from the connection end to the spout is brass. The spring loaded valve at the outlet that controls the water direction is plastic.

The only plastic inside the kettle is the black plastic pull/handle attached to the spout strainer. It can be easily removed.

i see no plastic elements inside the kettle. The underside appears to be all stainless.

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

It is made from silicone. It holds the lid onto the pot - not a tight seal like a gasket would create, but it keeps the glass lid from knocking into the glass body of the pot.

There is what I'd call a gasket inside the lid groove; don't know if it's silicone, but it does seal well - not just plastic on plastic.

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.

The seller's answer is not very believable given that the photo shows what looks like a plastic lid and the description says there is an external indicator window for water level. What is the window made of if not plastic, in which case the boiling water is in contact with plastic.

My has been flooded before, they seemed to be sealed with silicone but I would ask the seller

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.

Our pot has no plastic on the inside. the water only comes in contact with stainless steel.

It has a metal drop down that goes inside the pot. But it does not have a rubber seal.
