I don't believe so, I think they are aluminum with a non stick coating like Teflon???

Yes the material are tempered steel plate. I have then in different sizes. The key to these iron and others like the you can't control the heat. You must look at the hair texture and density. And all way check the temperature on a white towel or paper. If there is a brown spot on towel after you test the iron It's too hot. These iron hold heat very well so unless u have used Marcel's of this type please practice on doll head u can several burn a person with these irons. One more the before you use them for the first time u must season them. This is how u do it. Turn gas burner to Med low get some pressing oil and apply thin coats to the entire plated inside and out now very carefully lay the iron across burner grill let it get very hot. Then put it on a Cool burner too Cool completely. Then wipe off excess oil.

I wouldn't say it's cast iron, but it is all metal, certainly not aluminum.

no they are stainless. really nice set! I had an older set of rather spendy waterless cookware and this is actually heavier than it and heats faster due to the tri ply walls.

Unfortunately, no. They are made in China. I would love to find a US made sea shell set of plates, silverware, etc. They are also not as white as the photo, more beige, but nice set for the price.

No the handles are not cast iron, but they work great. I was completely satisfied with them.

Despite the description, the plates and knife are not stainless. Mine immediately began rusting after I washed them and didn't hand dry them. Bizarre because on LEM's website, they only sell stainless steel plates and knifes replacements.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they are 100% ceramic. If they were just ceramic-coated, I think I would have noticed by now because I've had it for a year and I haven't noticed any wear or tear on the plates. It works great!

As far as I can tell, these plates are just plain stainless steel. Hope this helps.

The dishes are marked England, but the sticker on the outside of the box says made in China. I don't see anything directly on the plates that says made in China but I'm guessing they are.

They are cast aluminum, not sheet aluminum. They are not going to be as good as cast iron, but they are fairly substantial.

Yes they are. I use my set daily and put them straight into the dishwasher. I have had the dishes for several months and enjoy them very much!

They are, and as far as I am concerned I don't really care. They are comparable to the more expensive All Clad cookware. I think this set is a real bargain for the price wherever they are made.

If you are asking if it is ceramic, no. It is not cast iron either. Best to direct your question to the manufacturer.
