Is the rack stainless steel or chrome plated?

Racks appear to be stainless steel,they work very well. Keep them clean and dry when stored.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

Our experience was that my husband soaked the rack when it arrived and it rusted immediately.

This has a shiny finish.Possibly stainless steel coated with a chrome like finish. This is a great looking sink dish rack.It is well made and very handy in the kitchen.I own one and I have given it as gifts. Whatever the finish,I think you will be happy with it.

It is a hard clear plastic. I don't use it since have the rack sitting in the small bowl of my sink. It seems to be a sturdy tray, though. I hope this helped. I love mine!

Hi Raymond. The dish rack is plastic. Had this product since 2011 and still using it. It was a great purchase.

It's steel, can't tell if stainless. Ours is over 2 years old and we are still pleased. Use it year round, even do Thanksgiving turkey on it. Never had a problem. Price was right and it fits perfectly. Highly recommend.

Yes, it is chrome in finish, not stainless steel/brushed steel. Stays very shiny and clean.

It is a standard 'cooling' rack. Not sure if that makes it stainless or aluminum or some other item. I personally have never had an issue with it staining the bottom of the pot, I have however had the rack rust a bit from the excess water usage. Its a great size and perfect to use for the water bath method instead of using my official 'canning' pot.

Its made of stainless steel, if it was chrome plated it would be shinier. My opinion of course.

It may be chrome or stainless, the rack very well made and does what it is designed to do. It also has long enough pegs to hang the complete set of flatware on one side making the other side available to hang items on.

Mine is from Amazon and so far is rust free. My parents have the same dish rack and bought it at costco and theirs is also rust free.

One is chrome and the other is stainless steel; being several of my appliances are stainless steel it matches my kitchen better than chrome.

Plated metal (probably shiny nickel). So far this has held up very nicely during this very long cold winter. Lots of heavy winter coats on sweatshirts hanging on it.

I think it is chrome plated. It is a great product. We bought it to go in our community assoc.'s clubhouse and it fit the bill perfectly. Everyone has been impressed.

Both. It's made mostly of chrome plated stainless steel, with a couple of plastic parts.

It is metal covered in rubber/felt. This is the best tie rack I have owned.
