Very nice iron, packs easily, heats quickly, would not have travelled w/o it. I totally recommend this product. Cheers, Mary

The top is stainless. The pole and base are plated and could rust in weather.

Yes, I would say it is actual stainless steel. Amazon appears to be lazier than a cut dog, for the most part, is what I can figure. Here is a link for further spec details: http://www.mec.ca/product/5035-556/gsi-glacier-stainless-steel-cuppot/?f=10&q;=gsi

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I do not think there is any coating it the plate. Have been using it since I bought. Looks like good quality. Not sure if it is 100% stainless ; as believe nothing is written in the plate about the same. Probably will take one more look and update about '100% stainless'

No. It's standard stainless steel. That must be some distortion in the photo.

Hi Melanie. Yes. All plates are made in stainless steel. Once you swipe them with nail enamel to transfer the image from plate to stamp, you simply clean the plate with acetone. This will remove any leftover nail polish from the plate and the grooves in the plate. You can also clean the plate with non-acetone, but I find with the non acetone it's cleaned of any polish residue but leaves a cloudy film on the plate itself. The acetone gives a back to new look. Hope this helps!

It appears to be non-magnetic so therfore it must be some stainless content. Works great!

No. Believe it or not it's a lightly textured metal plate. Thought it was just plastic at first, but I tested it and the surface is magnetic!

Yes, they are Stainless Steel. However, they are a magnetic type of Stainless suitable for hardening. This makes them subject to rusting, especially in rough areas. The blade is clearly marked INOX on the back, this is an abbreviation for the French word for Stainless. We run all parts of this grinder through our dishwasher, and as expected, the blade and plate holes do show some rusting. Use a FOOD grade silicone spray on these parts immediately after drying them.

Me, no. Mine is stainless steel. Never had that problem. Wish I could answer this correctly.

Yep, stainless steel, just like the bottom. This is a great addition to any kitchen at a great price.

No, it is chromium-plated steel. At first it seemed too light but it has proven as reliable as my previous shaver, a Merkur.

Nope, but I can check next week as to if they are 400 or 300 series stainless. They are very very light though must be a very thin gage stainless with either an eighth of an inch of foam or air in between.

No. In fact, none of what touches the food is stainless steel. I wrote to Cuisinart and they said all Cuisinart bowls are aluminum coated with Xylan, a fluoropolymer non-stick material. The paddles are plastic.

I am not sure but if it is it isn't like I know stainless steel to be. Sorry!

according to the shubb website the standard is nickel plated, or chromed. the deluxe is polished stainless, no chrome plating. Hope this helps.

Yes, the whole thing is stainless steel. I always put mine in the dishwasher to sanitize them before a trip. I'm very impressed with these cups, they perform much better than I anticipated, clean up easily, and look great.
