Product page here states "stainless steel FINISH" (not construction), what was stated on product packaging?

I don't know what was on the packaging. So far, I've been satisfied with the materials and finish.

I really don't recall. I purchased for my kids and they say it is holding up great after 4 mths of use.

Mine did not come with any product packaging. It was shipped in an Amazon box, which was filled with that brown paper to keep it cushioned. Mine was also scraped during delivery, so there is a small portion where the dark grey rough metal is exposed. I will observe to see if any rusts appears, over time. However, Zenith's customer service tells me this is made entirely of stainless steel, not a chrome coating.

The rod is stainless steel. No other finish applied. I guess some might call it a "nickel" finish look.

Thank you for your interest in this item. This item's finish which looks just like brushed nickel also known as a stainless steel finish. If you have any further questions please let us know.

It is not a brushed finish. To the best of my estimation (as a chem. engineer), it is close to a 304SS-2B finish. Here is a photo link to that type of finish: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Types+of+Stainless+Steel+Finishes&FORM;=RESTAB#view=detail&id;=D446CBE7BB27EE9ED7137743EFA2FC9031A6E459&selectedIndex;=59 Hope this helps.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

Not sure, but another website said it's powder coated to prevent rusting. I'd guess carbon steel, certainly not stainless. It fit my purposes perfectly.

Unknown, The packaging and instructions are long gone. It is in almost daily use. The stainless steel finish is still shiny and no apparent sign of any degradation.

I don't know- no marking to that effect- however, the stainless material seems to be quite thick and sturdy and denting and scratching has not been an issue despite normal amount of daily abuse. Definitely does not feel flimsy like some low-end metal appliances. Outer surface is nice brushed satin, inner surface is polished.

Hi Robert,I have this pot that I ordered from Amazon and the finish is a shiny, polished stainless steel finish. It is a wonderful pot and lovely looking as well.

It is steel with a metal grey finish, not stainless. I was a little worried about the grey color too but it looks great in my small vintage kitchen, I have no regrets.

Yes just checked packaging...it states "smooths and protects with chromium surface". It is a smooth finish. Hope this hlps

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.

Speaking as to the actual product I received after ordering it, it's certainly not 18/10 stainless or for that matter any kind of stainless steel. The strainer I received is made out of a cheap aluminum grade material, polished to look like stainless steel, but it's not. I buy sheet metal for a living and I know a little about metals.

Brushed Finish is not shiny, it's dull satin finish. Polished Stainless Steel would be shiny. Kind Regards!
