Is the basket stainless steel? I like the mesh, as opposed to a rack basket.

I believe the basket is stainless steel. This pot is terrific. I liked it so much, I bought one for a family member who also enjoys using it often.

Yes it is Stainless Seel and my wife loves it. Wish they made on twice the size!

Yes, it's stainless, and I like it. But I do wish it was a little smaller. I don't cook huge amounts, and the smaller bunches seem to want to fall over i should've paid attention to the size description!

I don't know the type of metal the basket is made from but it is metal. It is not plastic painted chrome colored. It's holding up well (sweet potatos, bananas, peppers, papayas & peaches - some heavy items) so I don't think I will need to replace it anytime soon with a more expensive one as I initially was prepared to do. I plan to get another one. Surprisingly I couldn't find a chrome chain so we spray painted a chain chrome colored to match and it looks great!

I dont think it is stainless steel. It is a fine grey mesh. For me it works and is cheap enough .I suggest you send the seller an email asking your question. I know it washes out easily. Hope this helps

Hi Jean, yes this is stainless steel. Works pretty good if the bird isn't over 15-16 lbs. The one negative is that you have to go "fishing" for the handles, as they tend to drop down in your pan. I still prefer a stainless rack with handles. Hope this helps! Cynthia

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?

The rack is stainless steel. The roaster is stainless steel and can go in a very hot oven, same as all stainless products.

The basket is metal. The center post is plastic that's coated to look like metal. Overall, it appears rather flimsy however I've had one for about a year and it still looks good and works perfectly.

The basket is zinc plated. Wald also makes baskets with a black finish. I am not sure what the difference is between them in terms of resistance to rust.

I'm not sure if it's stainless or not. It looks like it might be. It is a nice table. Very sturdy.

It's not all mesh. The bottom of the bag has a hard plastic. So far I like the bag.

Hmmm...sadly I think they might be aluminum. I've never seen a stainless basket, and I've been using this kind of pot for two decades.

Nothing on the Kitchen Aid box claims that it is made of Stainless Steel, however the splash plate appears to be SS, yet the wires develop a blush at the weld seams. This is much better than our previous expensive rack from a different company. BTW, magnets attract to the metal.

The basket and the filter are stainless. The construction of the entire assembly is rather cheap, though.

Yes I believe it is. It is certainly a metal looking like stainless steel. PS Love my Breville :)

The stainless is restaurant quality. Good craftsmanship. The mesh is not very fine, the picture is deceiving.

NO its stainless steel. I loved mine so much I bought a second one. I use them both in the kitchen. One is an island of sorts the other is my baking area. it always has wet supplies and stuff. No rust nothing I absolutely love this.

Each basket is made of "corrosion resistant" stainless steel. The baskets are completely stainless, the stainless is not plated.- [Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does, but despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most notably under low-oxygen, high-salinity, or poor-circulation environments.[2] There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.]
