I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

I don't think so, otherwise I would have not bought it. Now a day I believe no product made from plastic contain bpa. I have been very pleased with my purchase.

I was under the impression that BPA was only a component of hard plastic products. Since the steamer is very soft and flexible, I would guess there in no BPA in it, but I don't know for sure.

I actually called the manufacturer and they said that the plastic cap is BPA-free too. The rest of the steamer that comes in contact with water or food is stainless steel. That said they just came out with a new CERAMIC heater cap that can be purchased separately here on Amazon. I am hoping they will eventually include it in the steamer package for new customers instead of making them buy it additionally. Overall, this steamer is, I think, the best in the market. I used it for baby food too, and loved it!

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.

The rice cooker does not smell of plastic. From day one it does not impart plastic smell in rice or veggies which I have prepared in it.

I can't find any reference to BPA on the material I got with mine, including the box. However, the box says due to constant product development the unit shipped may look different from the picture on the box. The one I got was manufactured in China. Works very well. This model was tops in the Cooks Illustrated testing of slow cookers - that's why we bought it. They might know for sure.

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

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, it is plastic. I called the company, and they told me it was BPA free; although, i did not get documentation from them.

I have had it so long, I do not remember if it had a plastic smell, but it doesn't smell of plastic now, just the rice I cook in it. I don't wash mine in the dishwasher. It has never changed the taste of the rice either.

It is BPA and PVC free, but I still wouldn't microwave with it. Not sure what kind of plastic it is, but I'm not a fan of microwaving with plastic in general.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

I really have no idea if this is BPA free, but it is at least 90% stainless steel. We have had it for a few years now and use it almost every day. No problems. Never have had to clean it or descale it. I recommend it highly.
