Is this item glass or BPA safe plastic with silicone handle?

BPA safe plastic the handle is not silicone. There is no reason to be concerned about burns the handle does not heat up when the hot water is poured in.

Hi Linnie - it's BPA plastic. The colored part is plastic, also, but it has a thin top lining of a material that I always thought was silicone, but another poster (Blurose) says it's not silicone. It feels soft and rubbery like silicone, though. I really love them. No problems at all, no safety issues for me.

Yes....says so in discription of product. I love this, so easy to use and clean.

I am not sure , but silicon does not use a plasticizer which is what BPA is.

It is plastic but I am not sure about BPA free. I think I bought it before there was a concern about the BPA. I don't use it much but it is a very nice one and the motor will never burn up in home use like the cheaper ones.

It is a seamless glass pot. BPA should be irrelevant. Heating element seems to be outside the glass bottom, not in direct contact with the water like some brands (Tfal, etc..)

Part of the pump is plastic. I have no ideal on the BPA. I do know this is a heavy duty item. I had a cheaper one from Sams That cost about $20.00 that broke in a few months. It had a glass in side this one does not.

Can confirm that the plastics used are BPA free. I just chatted with KitchenAid and they confirmed its BPA free and that there are minimal amounts of plastics in the device

Only the mold part is silicone the bottom part is plastic but the good thing is its bpa free.Also it comes with its own sticks which are just the right size so a child couldnt lodge it down its thoart or choke on it aswell they are attached to the handle.

It is glass with a stainless steel handle and rim. I love the pot. I love seeing what I'm cooking.

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

It is plastic but the Nordicware website apparently says it is the BPA free type good plastic. Also it does not heat up a lot even with over 5 minutes of continuous microwaving. Quite safe to handle even when relatively hot since the handle part does not heat up too much (it is a really good plastic since it conducts heat poorly so the entire pot is not hot even though the rice inside is steaming!) I hope that answers your question in relation to the consequences of the material.

I had an old Tupperware Jello Mold, similar to the one pictured. I do not believe plastic produced in the old days contained BPA. I think that was a 21st century development. If I had my old jello mold, I would have used it and not felt the need to buy a new one. That was not the case, so I bought a new one and have used it sever times...works just like the old one.

The handle on the lid is black plastic and attached to the glass lid with a screw. I have had no problem with the handle.

It's glass and very nice except that the metal handle is attached with some sort of adhesive and according to the label can't be machine washed. They are glass with metal handles. Nice, except they can't be machine washed.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

The pitchers are BPA free plastic, which is why I purchased them. I didn't notice the description said glass.

The cap is Food grade stainless steel on the outside and a BPA free polypropylene inner. The silicone seal is latex free.For longevity of the bottle we do not recommend dishwashers but many clients do use them with minimal problems to date.Hope that helps:)

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.
