Picture looks like stainless steel, is it? Ceramics don't seem to curl as strongly as the old steel barrels. Highest temp????

It does the job on my hair which is medium fine. I do not want to burn my hair. So this is just right for me.

I am not sure what it is made of or the temp but if you read my review I stated that the curling iron works 10 times better than the $200.00 CHI I ordered and returned to QVC.

Yes the rod is stainless steel. I am sure you will like it. This is the best and the quickest curling iron I have ever purchased.

Hi - I beleive it is some kind of ceramic/iron cast - definetely not glass. So far we are very happy with it. My only concern it that I thought it would be easier to clean. If you drop anything on the surface wipe it off right away before the stain gets to old. I don't want to scubb the surface because I am afraid to scratch it but the stain don't come off that easily - I've yet to find the right product to clean it. Days we do heavy cooking I usually cover the surface with aluminium foil. Hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions.

Did you figure anything out about this? I am wondering the same thing. It says that it's titanium coated ceramic over aluminum. Titanium is supposed to be really good, even safer than stainless. I'd love to hear your feedback if you purchased it or did any more research.

While not a metal expert, it seems to be stainless steel. I use several times a day. It is still in great, like new, shape. Nothing has flaked off.(!) Nice kettle.

It's probably some kind of steel (a magnet sticks to the bottom) but the inside has a teflon-like coating, so it's hard to know for sure. The point where the body attached to the handle began to rust out, causing the handle to become loose, so it's likely not stainless. We threw it out because it seemed dangerous.

Yes, love my old cast iron cookware. It is just fine on ceramic top range! (One thing, never been anemic; wonder if that's anecdotal.)

I like these becuase they are ceramic. Ceramic stands up to heat and elements better. They are good value and good quality. Fast shipping also. Hope that helps

It is fine at 400-425 degrees. I seasoned it once at 500 Degrees and the little yellow plug scorched a little and popped out after removing. So far the coating on the handle has held up fine though.

I have no idea. Mine is all stainless. Like Mark D. said, maybe some attachments might be part ceramic? My only thought is whether the product has been changed since we bought it?

It doesn't seem to be stainless to me - has a flat finish. Could be aluminum but it seems a bit heavy. Could also be some type of alloy but I'm not sure. It does have the heat transfer properties of aluminum.

Not ceramic. It just appears to be a hard plastic. Only use for storage, not heating.

The body is die-cast zinc (pot metal). The trigger handle is stamped steel. The internals are brass. There is a rubber o-ring in the base. Not sure, what you mean by HOT water, but there is no insulation in the handle - it will heat up and would require a glove or something with really hot water. I have used one for ~ a year, 4 nights a week with hot and cold water (std water heater hot) as part of cleanup for patios and mats at a restaurant. Works great and has yet to break from being dropped or kicked around on concrete and asphalt like the plastic ones we used before did.

I believe they're solid brass, little or no coating. I'd have to check though, and they're currently in storage with a lot of my othwr gun stuff. Sorry I couldn't be a bit more helpful.

None that I am aware of. They are good quality and I have been using them for over a year now, including Canadian winter days where the bbq is heating up from dead cold to 400 degF+. Metal has maintained shape and strength, just discoloured as any stainless exposed to high heat will.

It looks steel to me. Best stovetop i ever used. Great quality and i love the ability to use the spacer if i wanna do less cups

Unfortunately, No. The barrels only come "charred". Carol, Serendipity Shopper LLC

Hi Kathy. There are small markings on the top of the barrel. That's it for the barrel I received.
