The steamer from what I know is not BPA free. That answers that question for you. To deal with with the people who did not answer your question but advised you not to buy the product anyway, I want to give you my experience with this product. I love it. I use it almost every day. I have owned it for well over 8 months and have never had any melting troubles. I use this is a 3 qt Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It works beautifully in that. I think most people are using this on way to high of a heat. The silicone feat are rated to 500 deg and the plastic 400 deg F. That is my 2 cents. The steamer from what I know is not BPA free.

I'm not sure, Im certain in this day and age it prob is. But in all honesty the bigger issue with this steamer (as you can read in many other reviews as well) is the melting and deforming of the steamer itself. I switched back to a regular metal one and continue to pleased by its simplicity and performance (it just works!). Hope you find this helpful.

What ever you do Do not buy this product. First time we used it melted in the cooking pot - BAD BAD product

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

Yes, it is BPA free. I have only used the bottle to keep water, and good taste has ramained unchanged.

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

Yes it's BPA free. It has a "BPA-free" symbol on the right top corner of the packaging.

not BPA free but unfortunately there just aren't many BPA free devices in this class... the other one by Aroma does not seem as good as this one in terms of versatility.

I didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

Hi. I didn't see anywhere on the box that it was bpa-free so I went to their website. Their FAQ section stated, "Yes. Slow Cooker Liners are BPA-free and approved by the FDA for cooking." http://www.reynoldskitchens.com/media/171330/scl_faq.pdf

I don't believe the parts are BPA free. However the product does not heat up, it uses high power vibration to diffuse the water and oil into the air.

I don't know if the pitcher is bpa free. I had wondered that when i purchased it. But in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter because you don't let the water sit in the pitcher anyway, it will dissolve your mineral cube faster. I transfer all the water i make to glass.

It does have a BPA free logo on their website, here: http://www.nesco.com/products/Dehydrators/Clean-a-Screens/Small-Round-Mesh-Clean-A-Screens-Set-of-2/session_51ef6500aba2/

Not sure about steamer but they are microwave safe. They are plastic so you want to be aware of how often you are reheating and if you even want to knowing all plastic releases chemicals over time.

I just got an email from Oster's customer service (Jarden Consumer Solutions) that this unit does not use a BPA-free plastic but it is within the US Food and Drug Admin's regulations. I was bummed. I will continue my search for my next steamer.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.
