Is this steamer BPA free?

I checked the link. I didn't see anywhere where it said the product is BPA-free. In fact, the Q&A;'s suggest otherwise because Bella failed to answer the question directly. It's a simple question: Is it BPA-free or not? If the company is unwilling to give a straight answer, what does that tell you?

Bella answered on their website that this steamer is BPA free: http://www.bellahousewares.com/countertop-electrics/steamers/black-food-steamer-13872

I am not sure if it is BPA free. I only know it is a really good steamer and easy to use and does well in the dishwasher.

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.

I don't know if this is BPA free or not. I looked over it and there is no indication either way.

As far as I know, this steamer is not BPA free. I bought it and then returned it because I thought the food shelves were stainless steel, but it's all plastic. It was a cute steamer, but I didn't feel good about the BPA leaching into our food. I now have a completely stainless steel steamer by Secura, which I bought here on Amazon. It looks large, but it works very well and is pretty versatile.

No, it is BPA-free plastic and is able to withstand brewing temperature. I love mine!

Yes, it is. There's a mark on the front of the packaging indicating that it is BPA free.

Hi. I didn't see anywhere on the box that it was bpa-free so I went to their website. Their FAQ section stated, "Yes. Slow Cooker Liners are BPA-free and approved by the FDA for cooking." http://www.reynoldskitchens.com/media/171330/scl_faq.pdf

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

You know... at the end of the day... I use the steamer for about 20 minutes at a time. All can goods now have BPA in them and they sit in them for weeks if not months. I think the 18 mins it takes to steam salmon and veggies isn't near what it would be in can. And keep in mind that BPA isn't toxic, the complications come from the fact that it mimics estrogen. I'm happy with my steamer, because it has really turned me on to steaming... will I move to stainless steel... more than likely, but this little bugger is a great starting point.

This is a great question and prompted me to research this, as I use the micro cookers daily. I called Pampered Chef headquarters and was told that THEY ARE BPA FREE. That makes me happy.

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer to find out. It might say somewhere on the packaging but we threw that out a long time ago. I'm really not sure if its BPA free.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)
