Is this made of plastic? Is this available in stainless steel anywhere? I would love to get this in stainless steel. That would be perfect!

No, it's a small plastic jar with a plastic cap and plastic cup that the butter collects in. We love it! This is the only kind of butter we'll eat!

Yes, the whole thing is made of a heavy plastic that is recyclable and top rack dishwasher safe. Something I just read on the bottom - designed in Seattle, WA. (Too bad they had to have it made in China!)

The product is made of plastic. I do not know of any stainless steel models.

Mine did not come in plastic. I think that's due to the enviornmentally friendliness of the product. All you need to do is boil some water on the stove and drop it in to sterilize it before you use it! I've had mine for three months no problem! There are also great cleaning/sterilizing tips on pintrest!

Maestro: The plastic model works well, But for the few extra $'s (10.00) I would get the stainless if I had to do it again.DO NOT put the plastic version in the dishwasher. If you take it apart and do this it will loose its shape.

Hey Daniel, Yeah, stainless steel. Super strong and super sturdy. I use it almost everyday. Any other questions...just let me know.

Sorry if this had been made clear elsewhere, but is this thing completely stainless steel on the inside? Like many others, I don't want anything that has plastic parts getting exposed to the boiling water every time...Thanks!John

Yes, I would prefer that it was stainless steel, but it is of quite good quality and mine has been functioning very well for about a year now.

I know.. it's so SOOOOO frusterating trying to find a kettle with no plastic, and NOT made in CHINA... errrr.... I couldn't find an electric one with NO plastic (at least not one I could afford)... but I settled on this one which has the smallest piece of plastic but which doesn't touch the water ever.... and then when you pour there is a plastic filter, but I open the lid when pouring and the plastic never touches the water. And it is made in China if I remember, but I had to settle with it after MUCH research and a few returned kettles which had too much plastic inside. I don't understand WHY they would make a stainless steel kettle and then put plastic inside. Anyways... good luck to you!

No, sadly it's plastic. They don't make them like they used to. Made in China. :(

I was hoping I can get a metal one as shown in some of the pictures, but the one I got is plastic. A bit disappointed. Since I am using it mainly for my toddler, I am not sure if the plastic is BPA free. It doesn't say anywhere on the web or the booklet. But I figure it should be safe enough if it can stand the heat. I am still looking for a metal shelf to replace the plastic shelf though.

Have you found one? I too am looking for a glass stainless steel combo without any plastic would be great!

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

No, unfortunately, it's plastic. There's popular mall tea store that has a brewer that has a stainless steel basket at a high price.

There isn't any plastic in the kettle, other than a small mesh filter for the spout to block particulates from being poured out. The rest of the kettle interior is stainless steel, VERY durable and sturdy. It's a Cuisinart after all!

Plastic and non-removable. I'm not aware of anything stainless. Good luck Charles.

I believe it has to do with the stainless steel metal being used over cheaper materials/plastics. I've paid for the more expensive version and it's very durable. Hope this helps.

It is plastic. Stainless steel is only what you see in the picture (a wrapping).
