What is the interior material, where food touches? Is it plastic or metal?

Plastic, and holds up well in the dishwasher. The only issue I ever had with the monbento was with a white container - it got stained from spaghetti sauce. All the other colors I've had have been fine.

It's plastic. However it is of better quality than any of the others food saver products that I've used. It works really well.

The outside is made of metal but the inside is made of plastic. Hope this helps

The dehydrator and trays are stainless steel - no plastic at all. The door is a polycarbonate, which is a form of plastic, however I don't see a possible scenario where your food would touch the door. :) Enjoy your dehydrator!

Most of the inside is metal. The top, where the lid screws on, is plastic but that only goes down 3/4 of an inch or so.

I am not home right now to verify. However, I believe its metal internals covered with plastic.

Looks like aluminum. Conducts heat (cold) like it, too. Not a problem in use, unless you're totally opposed to aluminum in food prep.

Plastic, but a hard plastic. You wouldn't be able to punch in a corner or bend/crease it in any way, as you can with a lot of food storage containers these days.

Plastic. But, it is the special non-toxic variety that does not leach any of its properties into your food. I love this thing!

Well the interior of the canister is metal, but the rest of the parts are plastic

They are steel with chrome plating. The food had no metallic tastes at all. It's very very quiet to my surprise. It has an adjustable thermometer and a timer also. Best thing I've purchased in a long time. Hope this helps!

The inside is plastic. I bought it for my brother and he loves everything about it (the cup, not the plastic).

The interior is stainless steel -- 100% as far as I can tell. It does not have a non-stick surface. I do not think there is any aluminum in the lid or touching the food. It comes with a steamer/basket, which I think is stainless, as well.

The inside is plastic. It's double-walled foam insulated. The interior wall is high-impact plastic and exterior wall is stainless steel.

All stainless steel interior, including the lid. No nonstick surfaces so there are no worries regarding chemicals leaching into food. Hope that helps

I almost didn't buy these because of the answer in July 2013 stating that the inside was plastic, however I decided to trust in Amazon's return policy and give it a shot. There is no plastic, all metal. Brushed stainless steel.

The lid does have plastic in the threads that screw the top to the container, but none of it touches your food; only stainless steel is in contact with your food.
