Are the legs and the screws that attach them stainless steel, or aluminum?

The legs are held by aluminum. This thing rusts all over (who would make a steamer basket that rusts from steam?) and the wings fall off. I am buying a differnt kind now! This basket is just a poor excuse for the job it should be doing. Do not buy this you will be sorry you did--I am. Will not last.

I don't know, but this is the first vegetable steamer that has not broke on me and I use it almost everyday.

I don't know what product the other commenter has, but it doesn't sound like mine. I've bought four or five steamer baskets in the last five years, trying to find one with the quality my old ones had. This is the closest I've come. As I've said elsewhere, my only complaint is the swiveling ring instead of a securely fastened loop to grab it. [EDIT update] I've been using it at least once a week for well over a year now, and it's still in excellent shape and performing perfectly -- no rust, no parts falling off, no problems. For $10, what more could you ask?

I don't know if they are stainless steel, they don't look to be. They look like the same material that the bench is made of, if that is possible? At any rate I have had this bench outside in the pouring rain and the hot sun for over a year and it doesn't have a spot of rust anywhere. I don't know if they are regulation size screws either. Sorry that my answer isn't much help.

Al parts are metal. as to whether they are stainless steel I'm not sure. However nothing has rusted.

I think they are stainless steel. They are not bad though. I made a top for my boat and the kit seemed to do the job for that. Just depends on what you plan on using it for I guess

I believe they are aluminum. Have only had for about 6 months and they seem to be doing just fine.

Depenends what material you get. Steel, aluminum, or stainless. They are painted.

It's stainless. I highly recommend this motor. It's plenty powerful and the foot control is awesome.

Stainless Steel. They are resistant to mild acids as found in berries and mild abrasives which would mark aluminum.

There are 3 brackets (appear to be painted steel) for each running board. All hardware(nuts, bolts, and washers) are stainless steel.

Not sure if they are stainless... but they hold up well with occassional spray of silicone.

Not sure, but I believe they are solid copper - one of the threaded holes stripped out too easy to be steel.

Mine were aluminum, and very well built. You should note the seller so that others can avoid being ripped off.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

They are metric. The screws are steel and the mount is aluminum. I used a little wd40 to keep the screws from seizing.

They are aluminum and imported. But very well made I am very pleased with mine but you will need a seat pad to make it comfortable.

I believe aluminum. They are very light, but sturdy. This is the size that I like. They are not the narrow one that sometimes are sent.
