Is this 100% stainless steel (i.e., no aluminum)?

I believe the inner filter is aluminum. The base, so far as I can tell, is completely steel.

Why do people answer if they have no idea? What is the point of saying, I think, probably, I believe...? Does that mean it's from a seller deliberately being vague? Or do people think it helps to say I really don't have a clue but I'll write something anyway?

I am going to contact them directly and ask as there are many (deliberate?) nonsense answers to this question.

To my knowledge - Yes. We have two. The one that is used the most (~10 years) shows no signs of oxidation or disintegration.

Mine all stainless except for the handle which is a copper alloy and the relief valve which is brass. Not a bit of aluminum in it

Yes,mthat was the main factor in purchase. The handle has a coating or texture that is difficult to identify.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

I'm pretty sure it's stainless, but the manufacturers website would probably give you the best answer. It doesn't feel like aluminum.

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

Yes 100% aluminum even the 3 pieces which are the ports are aluminum so careful not to screw brass or steel fittings too tight. Use Mylar tape or a good pipe dope

It doesn't have a stamp on the bottom, but up close it certainly looks like stainless and not aluminum. Whereas mild steel is magnetic, this is the non-magnetic type of steel which apparently is the most common.

No, it is all stainless steel. Washes like a non-stick. Never had any problems.

I don't believe it is stainless. It is a metal, but appears to be an alloy of some sort.

I believe this is made of stainless steel. It appears that way on the inside and everywhere I've looked online it lists only stainless steel. I believe if aluminum were a material, it would have to be mentioned. I've recently moved and put the box and manual away, sorry about that. I hope this helps.

No, it is aluminum, clad with nonstick interior. Same with the paddle. Easy to clean, but not stainless.

There's no aluminum in ours. The element is probably high carbon stainless, because a magnet will attract it but less so than the other parts such as the pan, the brackets on the heating element, etc. So it is all steel of some sort or another. (The parts that contact the food, that is.)

All parts of mine were completely stainless steel, no aluminum parts. I do not utilize aluminum cookware, or anti-perspirants.

It appears to be non-magnetic so therfore it must be some stainless content. Works great!

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

This is not nonstick aluminum, all stainless as far as I know. It was a gift for someone.

Yes it is stainless steel. We have had good luck with it. We use it in a healthcare setting, and it gets daily use!

No, it is not stainless steel. However, I hav used it many times and it has held up nicely.
