No, it's too heavy for that. I'm pretty certain the shaft is steel. I particularly like the black sleeve over the shaft that makes it very easy to hold while I use it.

I find this question and the answers very humorous since the product comparisons list the material as aluminum. Should't Amazon remove the product for false advertisement then?

Yes, it is made of aluminum. The heat is evenly distributed with the aluminum, and does do a great job of making sandwiches. I remember we had one that was steel when I was a kid. Might have been a knock off of the original at the time.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's aluminum - it's very lightweight (borderline chintzy).

It seems more like aluminum to me. I don't know. It could be stainless steel but it's very light.

I would say not aluminum because I was rough with mine a couple of times and it started to rust.

No, the basket doesn't look like aluminum. I think everything in the Percolator are stainless steel, including the basket, the stem, and the spreader.

I believe it is aluminum, not 100% sure though. I have never had a problem with it bending or rusting. Very sturdy. Works great when getting leaves etc. from pool. I dont know where it was made. Sorry. I always check that first but this time I was in a hurry and forgot.

Negative. A magnet will not stick to the bottom, so I'm assuming its aluminum.

Yes. And I believe that the material is made of aluminum, but I'm not 100% sure.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

Not during the time I own it. I believe that it is constructed with Aluminum.
