What are the plates made out of and are they BPA free?

I can honestly say I'm not certain the plates are BPA free, but based on the melt point of Bisphenol A and it's use in food and beverage containers has become a flashpoint issue, I would say it is free of this poly carbonate and I would order it simply because it works very well and does it for a very reasonable cost. However I strongly reccomend one with removable plates and ribbed on both sides for quick Panni's like most people like them. Also for ease of cleaning.

The plates are metal. One is ribbed and the other is flat. They are not removable but that is no problem because they wipe clean easily with a paper towel. The unit works well and I love it. I think the company would have to answer the question about being BPA free.

The plates of the BSG520XL Panini Duo™ are die-cast and have a non stick coating that is BPA free.

they're made of glass and are very good quality. I have put them in the dishwasher many a time and they have come out looking lovely. Very happy with these plates.

Yes, they are made of silicone and BPA free. They are really a great product. They clean up quickly and easily and they are very sturdy, even if you have kids that like to chew on things. I like them for my smoothies. :)

They are a hard plastic, probably like melamine. I use them mostly when I want to heat leftovers in the microwave. I wouldn't replace my everyday stoneware dishes with them, but they are very handy for heating leftovers.

I don't know where they are made. The plates have "OneHundred80Degrees.com" on the back, but it is a wholesale website and not much info there. You might contact one of their distributors nearest you on their representation page. The plates and cups are dishwasher safe but not microwave safe. They are also very cute and really make people do a doubletake. They have worked really well for us. The cups look just like beer cups, but way heavier and more sturdy. Same with the plates and the ants are awesome.

I don't remember if they are bpa free. What I can tell you is that your food should be about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the plastic parts. They shouldn't touch.

I just talked with customer service on the phone, and she told me that they are BPA-free. They're made of polypropylene plastic.

I do recall. I love them though. I used them with my daughter as well. I know they're BPA free and dishwasher safe. Try calling the company?

Oxo claims that these are BPA free,they look to be coated in a clear plastic,so use your judgment when ordering these. But, these are a quality set of measuring cups. If they are not BPA free,do not do anything to expose them to a high heat & you should be okay with them. If you are still worried about this set, purchase a stainless set of these measuring cups. With our experience,these will hold up better than stainless for obvious reasons.Hope this has helped.

I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure they're made of polypropylene only. There was no mention of BPA at the time of my purchase. I would definitely check with the seller to be 100% certain though. Good luck! :)

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they are 100% ceramic. If they were just ceramic-coated, I think I would have noticed by now because I've had it for a year and I haven't noticed any wear or tear on the plates. It works great!

They're plastic, but they're BFA free, I believe. They do great in the dishwasher.

I don't believe these are BPA free but I'm not 100% sure. I bought them as party favors for my kids birthday party and they're cute but certainly made of flimsy plastic

According to the manufacturers information, the plate, cup and bowl are made from 100% polypropylene and the utensils are made from 100% lexan. Polypropylene should be bisphenol A (BPA) free because BPA is not used in the synthesis of polypropylene. However, lexan (a polycarbonate which is usually synthesized from BPA and phosgene) would likely not be BPA free.

They are made of plastic. I've been using them for quite a while and they are holding up well, although one was cracked when I received them. I use them to prepare meals and place them in the freezer for later use for my father.

Comming from China, they do not tell me if they are BPA free. It is made out of plastic and I am sure they must use BPA to make them.
