What is the metal it's made from? It says lead free, but is it aluminum? Stainless-steel? Anyone know?

The manufacturer's web site says stainless steel with a silicon rubber lid.

I can't say for sure, but it is certainly not aluminum (too heavy). It's not likely any kind of regular steel because of rust. I would say stainless steel with 90% certainty. Manufacturer's website says the lid is SS and silicon. I would bet the rest of it is SS.http://www.forlifedesign.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products;_id=71

It looks like stainless steel, pretty solid, made from a few pieces soldered together. I can see solder points along the edge.

It aint aluminum cuz it melted at around 300'F. Not lead, cuz toxic. My guess is some bismuth / antimony eutectic alloy - but have not tested. But the part came, and fixed my pressure cooker !

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

I'm not sure. it is a silver metal, as the picture shows. It did rust very quickly, so I'm guessing it is steel. Not stainless.

It is made of lead crystal (lead-free crystal is dull and cheap looking). The only problem lead crystal items may have is that you should not storage liquid in it for a long period of time, so just remove the liquid after serving. Do you need your crystal sitting outside or in your fridge all the time?? Also, you can soak the crystal in vinegar overnight to remove the lead.

It's probably aluminum but it is definitely not plastic. It is some type of metal for sure.

Ask the manufacturer, as such information isn't provided. I expect they'll say lead-free. Just don't lick the faucet!

I read the manual but didn't say about material. I think it is stainless steel. I checked with magnet!

I did not see any evidence of lead ! Only used tin/lead later. It does a good job of melting tin but if you want to know what the bowl metal is, ask the manufacturer or Lee. I don't think the bowl would have any lead in it as it would melt the bowl - right ?

Melissa, I don't really know. I can't say 100% for sure it doesn't, but I believe it is lead-free.

As far as I know, there is no metal in it. Connect with them on Facebook or their website and ask THEM! :)

I found nothing definitively indicating the Toy is lead free. However the Company does publish this policy: http://tomy.com/multi-check-safety-systemand there appears to have been no safety recalls for it.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great. Leon Carey, leoncarey@gmail.com

According to the manufacturer it is lead free. It has a symbol "92" stamped on it that indicates that it has a minimum o 92 percentage of tin in the alloy, meaning to me is the rest is copper, antimony or bismuth. That's the best that I can help you with. Maybe check the web sit for the tankard. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Made in Spain. I assumed it was lead free since I bought it in California, but now I'm not sure.

I do not know if it is lead free nor do I know if it has been tested. Can't find the manual but if I do I will post the information.

I'm no metallurgist but it looks like stainless steel...No rusting so far on mine. I would buy it again....watch for breaking though. Would if it took a dive.
