Hi, I am also looking for one that has a stainless steel interior. Have you been able to verify that this one is stainless steel? If not, have you found one that is? Thanks!

I have mine on my countertop, but I do use a couple of hard placemats under it. That is just to be sure I have protection from any possible heat. The bottom heating element that keeps the popcorn warm does get hot, but there are a couple of inches between it and the bottom of the unit. Plus, it isn't overly warm. I love this unit and use it several times a week. I leave the cold popcorn until it is gone. Very tasty. -Enjoy

there is no stainless in this machine. almost 100% plastic. it's a decent dehydrator but if you can afford the little bit extra, get the Excalibur. I have both, I use the Excalibur first and this one second.

If the popcorn popper kettle is metal, it should be ok. But its not for delicate surfaces like silver or for highly polished brass or copper or stainless. It is ok for most cookware, however.

No it doesnt have warmer. It features a large stainless steel kettle with a built in stirring system and pops up to 8 cups of popcorn per batch

There should be an electrical cord that runs the heating element. I can't see it in the picture. On my unit the rod that supports the heating element is aluminum and the grate is stainless steel. None can be seen in the picture.

The heating element is plastic , developed a crack and could not be repaired on mine. I replaced it with Rheem that performs much better .

It's more like cast aluminum or some type of metal not iron. When I use mine I don't use the grill / griddle I use it as a single burner stove the piece that makes it a single burner is steel. I have two that I take camping they work great as a camp stove.

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

And what about the whistling element, is this also only stainless steal? Thanks so much.

Yes, it does come from the bottom of the chamber. The sides do not get hot. It's an amazing little machine, I did a lot of research and the Cuisinart is the best in my opinion. PLUS, you're making popcorn the healthy way, no oil.

Thank you for your inquiry. The Lindy's stainless steel popcorn popper is good for making kettle corn popcorn.

Some parts are stainless steel, but the housing is a plastic or resin. It appears to be pretty good quality, although you might ask Brome to be sure.

Everything the eye sees is stainless steel. If there is a layer of aluminum for heat conductivity, it must be inside (sandwich layer).Healthy cooking was the reason why I bought this pressure cooker and I couldn't be happier. I love having the 2 sizes. Don't hesitate, this is a good product!

No, no plastic parts making contact, and even more important, the heating chamber is made of stainless steel, so no fear of aluminum intake.

I sent an email to the company and received this reply:"The water container in the Hot Shot® is made of stainless steel."I just replied and asked if there's a nonstick coating as bp mentioned. I'll report back. They did not mention it in their initial response though.Update: The company responded and confirmed the water container is made of only stainless steel and there is no non-stick coating.

No it is not stainless. It has a cheap non stick coating. I have used it 3 times and they came out in pieces. Tried different fats, let it cool, hot . Nice concept but junk
