Is the spike steel or pot metal?

Not sure about the metal, but it seems to be strong enough although I do not use the metal spike with my sprinklers.

I don't really know. I would guess probably not steel, probably a cheaper metal, but they are sufficiently strong. The spike is not the part that will break first. The plastic top that spins will break if you hit it though. They do put out a nice misty water pattern though, which is what I like about them.

While not actually qualified, as a metallurgist, to answer the question, I believe the spikes are pot metal. They have proven reasonably strong in the short sprinklers, but tend to break in the long versions. The sprinklers themselves work well.

The pot is aluminum with a ceramic coating on the inside. I am however, getting some shipping of the ceramic coating; so I'm not too pleased with the product. Jim

Yes there is a spike. It's about 4 or 5 inches long and is made of plastic.

It is metal, but the finish is terrible. It is plated steel. I received two of them and returned both of them. They both had corrosion on the foot stand. So much for quality control.

Stainless, you must be careful when, after washing putting it back together, use care in lining up the spikes.

It is solid metal. However, it comes with three sets of handles for you to choose from: all chrome, "crystal" plastic, and white ceramic. The ceramic handles are downright dangerous, prone to breaking almost explosively. An otherwise high-quality set, though.

No, This set is all metal. The knives are very sharp and they match a set of contemporary tableware.

It's made of both. You have to be very careful putting it together as it's easy to bend the metal frame. Also, it won't hold really heavy pots, I use mine for herbs or for starter plants.

I bought it as a gift for my mom, but I believe they are metal. It works really great..

Steel with copper finish. Not as thick as cast iron, but thicker metal than most of the store fire pits. Satisfied so far.

Yes. It is stainless steel. The pot is too large for the small electric element on our stove and too small for the large heater. This thing was designed by a committee that had never been in a kitchen.

It is metal. The whole set is a nice sturdy metal. I bought three sets and love them.

Appears to be all stainless steel but no for sure. Overall very happy with pot. Probably going to buy 10 gallon equivalent.

Not sure how to tell. They are very strong however. They seem to be the same color as the pots so I would lean towards Steel.

The gears are cast steel and the handle is steal. I'm telling you if you make sausage buy this. I am very happy with this product.

It is metal. The coffee stays hot for some time because the pot is insulated. I would be afraid the a hot plate would burn the grounds since they are compressed on the bottom of the pot.
