What kind of metal is used?

Anodized aluminum. Very sturdy and sanitary. Make sure to either spray it with cooking spray or flour it before putting base dough on it or it will stick. Also, brush water around all the edges of the ravioli before putting on top layer of dough to help seal all the edges. This is a good kitchen utensil.

To marion mcgovern: If ever in doubt about metal, do NOT put it in the dishwasher! The chlorine and detergents cause some metals to oxidize (turn black). It really doesn't need to be washed, just let any dough particles dry on the mold, then simply brush them off. When you do manage to totally oxidize aluminum, use a product called "Cameo". Actually, the oxidation won't kill you, some tools are best washed by hand (if applicable)

I don't know, but I did put it in the dishwasher and it turned black. Nothing I did cleaned it and I had to throw it away.

The metal used seems to be aluminum. It really isn't great at making ravioli since the cutting process leaves some of the dough stuck in the "press". I wouldn't recommend it but I have bought another single ravioli cutter that works great. since u roll your dough and place your mix on the rolled dough, you will get a more precise cut. It is also available at Amazon.

I'm not sure what type metal it is, but it is coated with some sort of material, perhaps Teflon like, that covers the entire blade.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

Metal. However, the one I purchased broke in about a month. The one I gave as a gift lasted longer

I don't know what type of metal is used, but it has production on outside of the metal. I also bought one stainless from COSTCO, but I think the quality is not good as this one. If you afraid it will rust, you can move into house when you done.

Metal. So far I have only ground game meat (wild pig, weighing about 180 lb.). Had to remove the "silver skin" first or the machine would jam in less than one minute. Ground meat from the neck and rump. Grinder worked fine once the silver skin was removed - a lot of work.

Yes! Any kind of metal. best thing is, once you start using it on the regular, it makes cleaning easier.

Metal. They were of excellent quality. I ended up buying 100+ to use at my wedding.

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.

My guess is poly. Its pretty stiff. But does help the metal on metal "clinging"

I am assuming it is metal of some kind. The best way to know for sure is to ask the seller. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

As the previous person noted, metal and plastic. Do you want to buy my set? My husband used for about two weeks after surgery, they are in excellent condition.

You can use metal utensils. I still have so many plastic, and you can still use those. Just don't leave them near the heat or touching surfaces very long.

Metal! This thing isn't playing around. It works great. Used to have to clean out my kitchen aide grinder frequently and end product, while not terrible, wasn't the best. This grinder has yet to bog down in use. Love it!

Metal. FYI, the assembly is painful as there are many, many pieces, took us 3 hours to put together and I've done lot's of building things in my lifetime. We're only buying fully assembled products moving forward :-)

I'm not sure exactly, but really fels like a metal, not even aluminum. More like a steel or something.

I am not 100% sure. Some kind of metal. I absolutely love them. They are beautiful.
