Is this steel? And how steady is the pressing handle?

Not sure if its stainless steel. Pressing handle is not steady at all. The roti came out uneven and never puffed up. So I ended up returning it.Hope this helps!

yes from outside it is steel.. and handle also is good. But i have to still use hot plate(Tawa) for proper cooking my roti. since it takes long time to properly cook roti's

Yes outer element is steel. The pressing handle is okay but it doesn't really make the rotis or tortillas thin.

The pressing handle is pretty sturdy. I have had one before this and the handle was never a problem. I am not sure if body is steel or aluminum.

Yes, it is smooth with no marks from the handles.However, the metal (they say it's stainless steel) is of very poor quality and gets stained after a couple of times.

As JG says, the barrel seems sturdy but the pressing mechanism is not. Try looking for a Mirro "cooky" press on eBay. These vintage cookie presses are all metal and very sturdy and well-made. The only disadvantage is that there isn't as wide a variety of disks available for them.

It is steel. I use it every day. There is a rubber seal in the lid to help secure it to the base. And the handle is hard plastic.

The handle is steel but the orange plastic coating it VERY thick. I think they are extremely durable. I bought 6 of them to give to my sister/sister- in-laws.

Hello:The handle is not squishy, its solid. It feels great. Easy to use. Blade is super sharp. I like the knife a lot. Feels like good quality.

I'm not sure but it feels very sturdy like steel. It's very durable and nice. It was totally worth the $.

The handle is stationary which I find appealing. You can push it in front of you or pull it behind.

I purchased mine last spring and the handle was made of both metal and plastic. The piece you grip is plastic while the sides that go to the tool are metal. It also rotates easily around the tool which I thought would be a problem but it actually was really convenient I thought. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for the price, especially compared to name brand electric jackhammers. I've used it to rip up a basement floor, patio, and sidewalk. All with no issues. Sorry this is more info, I've just been really pleased with this tool.

I don't know how many pounds of pressure but I can tell you that I've cranked with both hands on some oranges. The press has cast iron weight to it that makes it solid on the countertop. The only problem with this item is that you have to tighten the Allen head bolts, socket head cap screws, with the supplied Allen wrenches. I used liquid wrench and it seems to help. The machine itself is a strong one and solid. I've had mine over a year and have squeezed gallons of juice and have put a lot of pressure on the press.

The thickness of the steel is as the specs say. I can tell you it feels heavy duty all the way around, it's not flimsy or weak at all. It's a solid piece of steel.

The handle seems substantial, it's made of metal, I have had no problems. Probably not as much need for pressure comparing it's scrubbing ability to a Swiffer.

It is all steel very sturdy construction and well made, and looks nice if you like a simple minimal design, hope that helps

It is aluminum or possibly some other lightweight steel. It's not very heavy.

No, sorry I hit yes on accident.. thought it was "yes I would answer". Been using mine daily ever since I got it and have had no issues with the handle what so ever. In fact mine is still rather stiff and does not fall down.

No, it looks like aluminum. It feels too light to be steel. It works well, though. I have used it to make large batches of dough and the machine and the hook worked as well as my old Kithen Aid.
