Is the Shank and Nipple stainless steel as well? A reviewer said it was not.

Yes it is. Have owned this now for over two years. It is a quality product. Easy to breakdown and clean.

All metal pieces are stainless except the hex nut that tightens around the shank. Like the description says, "the beer only touches stainless."

Yes it is. You should know, however that the nipple and hose barb are all one piece. It's easier if it's two separate pieces. Otherwise, this is a really good beer tap.

Although I don't see stainless steel on the blade, it appears to be. I have used it quite a few times, and it works well.

I didn't see that in the product description. It's definitely all stainless steel.

No, it is stainless however and very easy to clean. This is a good quality stainless, not a cheapie.

The one I got about 3 months ago came with metal nipple or barbs on top. The kit I got also came with tubing and connectors to connect to the barbs

It is listed as stainless on Amazon, and appears to be the same stainless as my 20 year old German Henkel knife. This one was marked Made in Spain. If it was ordinary carbon steel it would rust. I believe that all steel is "carbon steel" to some degree, since steel is by definition an alloy of carbon and iron, but stainless also contains chromium ( which prevents rust formation due to the surface oxide) and other metals as well, a situation fraught with misunderstanding

Yes, the rack is truly stainless steel. The pan is great! I'm now able to make a 4 layer lasagna. Cuisinart makes a good product.

Yes, the bulkhead and washer on the inside of your kettle/mash fun is made of stainless steel.

No just stainless steel, good for camping. You can boiler water in it. Good for survival.

Yes it is polished stainless steel. My one complaint however is that the corners are very sharp. My housekeeper cut her hand on it. We've had to put corner protectors up.

No, the upper plate that holds the gears is chrome plated, it is not stainless, but it does appear to be good quality. The handles appear to be stainless. Not sure about the cutting mechansim.

Yes, it is all stainless but for the glass top and handle. It was manufactured in China, as someone asked. You can even take it camping.

Yes its stainless steel. Not sure of the quality of the steel but at this price just buy several and when one breaks, rusts, or wears out then discard it and use the next one

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?

Yes, stainless steel. Can definitely be used as weapons. I stabbed my baby daddy with it, and he has been paying my child support on time each month ever since...

Nope, bought this as a gift was so impressed that I got one for my self. Both working fine. No rust so far. Actually, I don't believe that stainless steel will rust.
