What is the Parabolic Reflector Panel made of metal or plastic? Is the Cooking vessel with Lids REALLY just a canning jar painted Black?

The reflector is mylar type product designed to last for years, with good care. It comes with a special coating to protect the reflective surface from the sun's rays. The Cooking Vessel is a quarter size canning jar that is custom coated with a material that permanently bonds to the glass, so it is dishwasher safe. The jars are used because they are readily available and inexpensive; they are tempered glass and designed for canning at high temperatures and pressures; and they can be replaced easily. The jar acts like a mini pressure cooker so foods and liquids cook fast.

Mine is black with clear plastic just like the photo. It did not come with a red reflector.

The black parts are plastic but the rest is stainless steel. Very nicely made, I recommend it!

The lid is metal. I love this veggie steamer! I use it all the time. It's very well made.

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...

It is plastic. I am not sure what kind but unlike all of the other plastic covers for the microwave that I have had, it does not "pit". With ALL of them, once hot food or sauce splatters on them, they form a pit in the area where the food splashes (or is actually burning it). This one however does not.

It is plastic. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems. Note: it does get a little hot so I'd recommend a pot-holder, if you're going to grab right after it's done percolating.

Black plastic with the bottom stainless for heating element. It's a very quick heat but the timer has never "beeped"

These are plastic made for the microwave. Very nice set with the vented lids.

Very durable. Pretty sure it is plastic. I have a lot of stuff on it and I don't want to take all of it off to check. I currently have 2 sets of ceramic kitchen canisters on it. They are full of flour, corn starch, sugar, etc. So that is 6 or more ceramic containers, plus what is in them and it turns easily, every time.

The telescope has plastic parts, but the tube is metal and many of the working parts are made of stainless steel or aluminum. I bought my Celestron 70mm telescope to keep in my camper, or to carry on trips where I know it would be enjoyable looking at the stars or to give my grand kids something to do at night while camping. Very compact and works great for the reason I bought it. It also makes great use for getting a close look at birds and other wildlife.

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

It is a glossy black plastic finish, but it is black.The mesh speaker grills are possibly made of stainless steel, but they are painted black as well.

Best quality among all I have owned. Get the infrared unit and rotissary. The cooking lid is double walled stainless. All the guts are stainless. Really brag about it.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

The jar and lid are both plastic. I don't see anything that mentions the composition of the plastic. I don't even see the PETE #1 that Walter mentioned.
