What's the egg rack made of? Why does nobody make these with metal racks?

it is plastic but its a really good egg cooker. the plastic is a little flimsy but I cant ever think of a time when someone would fill it up with eggs and walk across the room. I usually fill and empty the rack while it's in the cooker. I have recommended this to several of my friends and family and they all love it. the buzzer with the automatic shutoff is a really great feature and I haven't cooked an egg in it that wasn't perfect. hope this is helpful.

Kevin, The rack is made of a harden plastic, I think if it was made of metal, the eggs wouldn't cook even. The metal would crate a hot spot.

Unfortunately it is made of plastic - code #5. I too, would like one made of stainless and I'm continuing to look for one. Still, this is a great improvement over the one I had which had a non-stick coating. Let me know if you find an all stainless one.

They're made of metal, depending on what type of cabinet doors you have may need to use a plastic spacer mount them in order for them to work properly. Mine, in fact needed the plastic spacer but it is heavy duty. I ordered the large quantity of these and put them all in my kitchen. I get to do this but I'm going to count every door in my house and put them on. We love them

I use plastic, my understanding is no metal. in the demonstration on line, a plastic knife is being used to mix the ingredients.

There are metal. It's the best mixer I've ever owned. I use for bread & pasta making.

I do not remember what it was made of, however it held our 4 layer wedding cake that feed 140 people plus kept the top layer. Held up great! :)

The racks appear to be stainless steel. I have been using them often and washed them in a dishwasher. They always come out nice and clean and there are no signs of rust. I am very happy with all of these racks.

I believe it the caphilon non stick coating. Ive used it already and the eggs slide right out of it. Use a tad of butter or oil on the bottom of the cups before putting the egg in.

Email Secura customer service...they have been helpful when I spoke with them. I had the finish chipping off one of my pans and they replaced it. Can't imagine how you would go about cooking an egg on a rack. Please let me know what you find out. Puzzled here in Montana. Take care.

These racks would be too small for even a bantom sized egg. They are meant for a quail egg which is much smaller than a chicken egg. I hope this helps.

This rack stays in the garage in Florida, and has wet towels on it all the time with our crew. It appears to be plated with some kind of enamel coating, much like the old iron skillet lids, It is not showing any signs of rust that I can see. I just checked it again. I haven't had it long but it is just what I need.

The egg cups are stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating on any of the pieces. Good reason to buy it. We love this. Butter the cups before adding eggs and it works awesome.

Wish I could help, but I've got the same problem! Had one of these before and loved it - and the top snapped in place they way they say it will. My new one has a white gasket on the underside side of the middle (metal) piece; I'm pretty sure this wasn't there on my old one. Now, it's hard to time my eggs - and worse, when I try to get them out, the top sticks to the middle and the eggs are "held prisoner" inside. Looks like we both need to contact the manufacturer... good luck...

It is made out of a very sturdy metal, not sure what kind. The first two we had for 10-12 years. They work very well for keeping the squirrels out. We just bought the new ones because we wanted a fresher look.

The base where the eggs sit is aluminum, I think. I have had no problem with the top popping off, but base has gotten discolored.

Bottom of rack is coated and no metal anywhere. I am so happy with this purchase. I have two sinks and this sits in one side of the sink. I do have the sink mats in both sinks and this drain board sits on one.

The dish rack is plastic. I have been very satisfied with this purchase. Let me know if you have any other questions!
