The handle is phenolic, according to it's description. Most likely, the lid is as well. Disappointing... looked like a nice buy. Knowing that the phenol parts (lid & handle) are made in China adds to the disappointment. Phenol and its vapors are corrosive to the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract... and can be very harmful to the central nervous system and heart; causing dysrhythmia, seizures, and even coma... and if that isn't enough, it can also negatively affect the kidneys and liver.Anyway... not for me. It appears that by continually heating the plastic, and exposing the elements, seems far to risky. Nice design, with the exception of the phenols.

Forgot to add this to my previous answer regarding the phenolic plastic handle: According to WiseGeek: "Fire resistance is a key benefit to phenolic resin, because the material chars rather than burns. Char is a reaction where the molecules are changed to a carbon structure rather than burning away as ash. Resins that are exposed to extreme heat give off very few toxic fumes, making them useful in aircraft and automotive parts. In spacecraft, heat shields and rocket nozzles can be made from phenolic resins, providing a material that will wear away and resist burning." I know this isn't definitive, but hope that helps.

I spoke with the owner and met her dogs. The freakin' thing is completely assembled here in the US. The plastics are made in the USA and the glass is from Germany. I am also a verified buyer in this list. Thank you.

I don't know where the unit was manufactured. Didn't see any indications on the kettle or the box.But as far as the quality it is OK. The only issue is that you do have to remember to put the whistlingtop on so that the water does not completely evaporate and the unit breaks. I did this several timesand it survived, but after the 3rd or fourth time it broke. Still, it is a very good product and I love seeingexactly the quantity of water and the state of boiling or not. I like it. I have been using these for years.Good Luck.

I contacted the company. The glass is from Germany, the lid is from China. I do not buy anything from China (not knowingly).

The glass is made in Germany. I don't know where the plastic parts are made, nor do I know where it is assembled.

I called the company this morning. The glass is made in Germany, the stainless steel strap around the glass is made in the USA, the lid is polypropolene plastic made in China and the handle is phenolic plastic made in China. All the parts are assembled in the USA. I am torn as to whether or not to buy this. Some indications are that the phenolic plastic handle is not safe if it gets too hot. But I cannot find a definitive answer to that.

I'm sorry but I have no idea where it is manufactured. We have had ours for several years and we didn't keep any packing information that came with it.

No indication on my unit as to where it's manufactured. Had it for a number of years and still works fine. I use it at home so it gets sporadic usage.

Mine was maufactured in China. I bought one before, from a different seller, it was manufactured in Thailand. It did not look brand new, so I returned it.

Hi Jennifer, I have one and am not sure where it is made since there are no indications on the tool but I can tell you this: This is a high quality tool and I use it daily. It is very handy to carry around and has held up well with what I have used it for.

Hi Sammy, I sold this grill a while back so I am not sure of where it was manufactured. However the product was of very good quality. Have a good week.

Frankly, I couldn't be sure. I bought this one as a gift for a friend, and I didn't pay close attention to where it was manufactured.

Made in China. Go figure. I stored it in the original package and just checked it.

Sorry, I don't remember where it was made. I gave it to a local charity because it was not as described, and the seller would not accept my return.

I'm pretty sure it's made in China. I don't have the unit here to look at, but I think I remember noticing that. Maybe someone else will know.
