Are the beaters stainless steel now, as shown? Apparently they were chrome plated in the past.

I'm looking at them, and I'd say they are plated. Way too shiny. A magnet DOES stick to them, also.

They are stainless and mine have not rusted. I use them frequently, they are sturdy, wash up nice and are great to have around.

I think it is chrome plated and so far it hasn't rusted but it's been my experience that these always eventually rust. However, I'm very hard on them I use them in the oven and put them in the dishwasher but I still get a couple of years of use. Also this one is nice because it fits inside of the half sheet pan and it was also pretty cheap.

I think they are polished stainless...magnets don't stick. Nice strong pieces.

I don't know for sure, but it looks like it is stainless steel. I know they wear well. We have some that we have had for years & they look as good as the ones we just bought.

They appear to be stainless steel as they look exactly like the rest of the pan. No rust nor corrosion.

The beaters are metal. They are not coated. This is my second HB. It's a little different than my first one but works the same. It's a great mixer.

I haven't had any problems with metal flaking off the beaters, but I haven't had the mixer very long. I will watch out for that though.

Yes they are plated, be sure to buy the "Stanley" brand as I bought the lesser copy and ended up throwing away and repurchasing. The bearings are much better in the Stanley unit.

No mine was older than that....I did get the beaters. I had to send them back because they wouldn't work. I can try to answer a question on these beaters since I have seen them.

yes, they are the original parkers. old style, all smooth stainless. the new one have a textured finish that I didn't like as well. Personal preference.

They are polished stainless steel. They look like chrome and are good quality.

They are definitely stainless !! a magnet sticks to them and a magnet will not stick to aluminum !! It says to keep them polished and or waxed to keep them protected and slick !

it looks like it. I bought used ones, but they seemed as though they were new. I think I ended up paying about $6 a plate.

I am not absolutely positive, but from the looks of them I believe they are copper plated steel. Usually solid copper is too soft, so ours would show some wear since they have been used several times, but they look like new.

I don't believe they are stainless but I've used them for around 5 years and have never had any problem with rust or corrosion.

HI Todd, No they are not. This is just the chrome skin. I ended up using the existing ones which were rusty, but solid. It went on easy, is solid and looks great.
