The review of this product at http://www.consumersearch.com/food-steamers/oster-5712-digital-food-steamer is no longer there. In fact, they don't even have a section for steamers on this website anymore. I would steer clear of this one.

The manual that comes with the steamer doesn't make any reference to the type of plastic used. You might want to go to the oster.com web site and ask them.

I just got an email from Oster's customer service (Jarden Consumer Solutions) that this unit does not use a BPA-free plastic but it is within the US Food and Drug Admin's regulations. I was bummed. I will continue my search for my next steamer.

I just received mine and all the pieces have a #7 on them (NOT BPA free). I'm really bummed. Definitely not going to use it.

Yes, according to Consumer Search, it is BPA-free. You can see a review of the steamer, and confirmation of the BPA-free plastic, at this link: http://www.consumersearch.com/food-steamers/oster-5712-digital-food-steamer. Hope this helps!

I just called Oster and asked if the 5712 or 5711 is BPA free and they said both models are BPA free

Yes, this steamer is BPA free according to it's website. Also, the steamer is stainless steel and the only plastic is on the very bottom. No plastic exists anywhere near the steam that would cause it to leach into food. I'd say this is the only stainless steel steamer on the market.

To be honest I don't recall. But I am a stickler for only buying BPA free products. I would NOT have purchased it otherwise. I would think they would state it on the web page. We love this icecube maker for our sailboat. It is very good quality.

The booklet says under product features: bpa free material. Under specifications under raw material it says all food - grade

There isn't anything on the label, but according to the Reynolds web site they are bpa free. you can look at www.reynolds.com click on slow cooker liners click on FAQ. This has been a geat product to use. Sure helps with cleanup, and I use them in both our 3 1/2 and 6 /12 slowcookers.

According to their website, all of their plastic products are BPA free EXCEPT the microwave butter melter and the dripless poultry baster. Why not listed as a product feature, no idea.

It is hard plastic, with no coating. I don't know if it is BPA free or not. I don't ever heat the containers up.

Yes, I believe so. The info I found stated that all plastic rings and spigots are BPA free.

I don't remember. I stopped using this thing a long time ago. It does not steam the food evenly and it takes twice as long to cook things. I bought it because it had the safe plastic, but I went back to a Black & Decker.

The steamer from what I know is not BPA free. That answers that question for you. To deal with with the people who did not answer your question but advised you not to buy the product anyway, I want to give you my experience with this product. I love it. I use it almost every day. I have owned it for well over 8 months and have never had any melting troubles. I use this is a 3 qt Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It works beautifully in that. I think most people are using this on way to high of a heat. The silicone feat are rated to 500 deg and the plastic 400 deg F. That is my 2 cents.

It doesn't matter if the plastic is BPA free or not. The chemical that BPA replaced was toxic & whatever the chemical used to replace BPA will also be toxic. Using petroleum based plastic in food products is not very smart, unless you like consuming carcinogens�

Don't know if it's BPA free but there is no plastic inside other than the cover.

I contacted the manufacturer, and they said that it was without BPA, but you know how THAT goes. They indicated that ALL of their "food handling/prep. items were without BPA...

All of the other sizes (1 gallon, 3 gallon and 5 gallon state that they are BPA free, so I guess I assumed the 2 gallon was also. Perhaps Bluewave could answer this better than I, as this one only states 100% safe plastic.
