I am confused. Some people said theirs was stainless steel on the inside -- others said it was black plastic (with just the heating element metal).

I am corrected. The inside is indeed hard plastic with a metal heating element. That water gets boiling hot, but no worries. This is the best teapot I have ever owned. Ever.

The inside, bottoms and lower sides are stainless steel. It is encased in black plastic so the outside and rim of the inside are black plastic.

Black plastic with the bottom stainless for heating element. It's a very quick heat but the timer has never "beeped"

I called Presto today, 03/06/2014, and the clerk said the interior is anodized aluminum.

That's a good question, I don't know; but it seems like it is. It seems like it's stainless steel inside. If you don't like it, you can always return it back to them.

The interior is stainless steel. The only part of the thermos that is all plastic is the twist on inner cap. The outer cap has plastic on the inside of it, but the outer part is stainless steel.

It is basically stainless--the little circle of plastic/rubber/whatever is hardly worth mentioning. I love mine and am so glad I chose to get this one over all the others. It is really, really nice and of good quality and has a sleek design which makes it easier to clean. It heats up quickly and the dial/level lights up in blue which is actually quite helpful. I am more than totally satisfied with it.

It is a stainless steel exterior, with plastic interior. I don't put stainless steelthings in my microwave. Additionally, I would not recommend the purchase of this product.I gave it to one of my sons as a part of a Christmas gift, and he no longer uses itbecause he says he can't get the top of it off to reload or clean without a great deal ofstruggle. It looks nice, but either he got a defective one or there was some sort of design flaw that makes it impractical and difficult to use...

Yes, it is entirely stainless steel inside. The only plastic components are the ones you see in the picture, including the par that the lid screws onto. I've been really happy with mine!

As I mention in my review, while the bottom of the interior is stainless steel the sides of the interior are all plastic. It's not obvious at first, and I can see why some people didn't notice, but about 70% of the interior is plastic. If you don't want toxic chemicals from plastic leaching in to your boiling water than I suggest that you avoid this kettle.

The metal is black on the inside. My last one was also black on the inside. What ever it is made out of, it is singe resistant - I burnt my last one so many times. The whistle on this one is not detachable and is very sturdy. Haven't burnt it yet.

The interior is metal. We use the disposable small aluminum loaf pans inside of it to warm the food. We buy those at Walmart for a reasonable price.

There is no plastic inside the kettle. When I peer inside the kettle, it has a smooth/brushed stainless interior. No plastic, no coils. I love it.

I believe it is stainless. Love it by the way. They only last a few years and the heating element goes out.

Hello! The only plastic part inside is the water measuring stick, the metal round inside is containing heating equipment and it has no seams inside kettle so it's perfectly safe to use, no plastic. I've got this kettle for my mom a year ago and it`s the best one from all we had, still working, no plastic taste. Please enjoy!

Body plastic - stainless (bottom) heating element. No issues with mineral build up - have been using this during travel for the past 7 months

Technically the interior is 98% stainless steel but there is a little plastic piece about the size of a button at the base on the inside that allows the water to flow into a chamber by the handle that tells you how much water you've put in the pot. So even though it is stainless steel the water you are boiling does come into contact with a little bit of plastic. I do like this kettle but I think it is a lesser of evils compared to what is out there because it only lasted 6 months before the heating mechanism stopped working and the fact that it isn't 100% stainless. That being said, unless I wanted to fork out 4 times the money I would by this one again.

The inside of the kettle is stainless steel. It isn't coated with plastic like some makes are.

I believe the interior is plastic which gives better hot & cold than stainless and does not burn hands!
