Is it coated or has Natural Finish Aluminum? Thanks

Sam, I examined the tray that I have. It does not appear to have any transparent coating. It is metal. I can see the metal grain. The tray has a bright finish but it is steel. It catches a magnet. I hope this helps you.

Seems to me to a natural aluminum finish. I don't detect any coating. Certainly not like Teflon or a similar product.

Metal is powder coated paint. It looks like it will last. Very happy a year later.

It's a totally natural matte finish. I purchased a bottle of all natural bamboo wood oil ("tree spirit") to condition the board from crate and barrel.

It is not stainless and it is most likely aluminium but coated with a non-stick surface.

It looks and feels like ordinary brushed aluminum with just a hint of sparkly you see on the latest versions of stone-coated non-stick pans. The manual states the coating is BPA-free. I'm pretty sensitive to overheated plastics and worn-out Teflon pans, but have not noticed anything askew with this unit even after baking food at 425-deg.

Well, the inside of the bottom (where the water goes) "looks" like is has some kind of coating to me. Others have mentioned this as well in their reviews. Personally, I have been using it for over a year now and it still looks like it did when I bought it. So, don't know what the coating is but it looks like it's there to stay and not coming off like the Aluminum Bialetti's do. Hope this helps.

It is a stainless steel finish, have had mine for 1 year and works great, never has a problem

It seems to be stainless steel. No signs of it being coated, though I don't think I read the manual thing cover to cover.

Coated plastic. But the build quality is reasonably good. I have mine for 6 months and it still feels solid. My wife and I have different spray preferences and the switch is holding up well.

I am pretty sure the finish is a powder coat over the aluminum. As a rule you don't paint over powder coat. Powder coating is done in a shop only. Just mask off the area leaving only the chip showing and spray with a satin black Krylon or Rust-Oleum enamel.

We have ours for almost a year and it still looks new. It is not totally exposed to weather, though. We have it in front of the house, close to the entry way, very little sun exposure. I know it is cast aluminum, but am not sure if its anodized or painted. Sorry, I could not answer your question.

It does not appear to be coated; looks like the same stainless steel. The kettle has performed well and, I feel, worth the price paid.

The bike is Aluminum but it looks like it has a clear coating. I really like bike. It does not look cheap at all. I plan on buying 2 more.

no, it isn't coated, if there is wax on it it isn't noticeable. it is a really nice rolling pin.

I think it is powdered coated aluminum. It is very light but sturdy. I never leave it out in the elements when it's not being used and it shows no signs of wear. I have had mine for a little over 2 yrs and I really like it. Now that it's winter I actually miss hanging out laundry. :)

It's a coated metal. We kept them out all summer with no problems! We've brought them in now for our harsh MN winters. Love them! We have 6 of them!
