What is it made out of? The description says what it is NOT made out of "BPA-, PVC-, and Phthalate-free". Is it plastic or aluminum then?

They are plastic just like the disposable pouches at the stores. I LOVE these pouches more than the green pouches and the yellow ones I bought. These ones rock.

plastic, on the thicker side. so they will last while. I too am glad I bought these. they have saved money and have been a huge help when my child is hungry and we are nowhere I can BF

BPA and phthalates are plastic additives. PVC is "plastic." Since this is an aluminum rail, you don't have to worry. The paint may be a different story.

BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.

I am sure it doesn't contain BPA or Lead but I don't know what is the Phthalates so I can't answer this one

It is plastic but I am not sure about BPA free. I think I bought it before there was a concern about the BPA. I don't use it much but it is a very nice one and the motor will never burn up in home use like the cheaper ones.

It is plastic but the Nordicware website apparently says it is the BPA free type good plastic. Also it does not heat up a lot even with over 5 minutes of continuous microwaving. Quite safe to handle even when relatively hot since the handle part does not heat up too much (it is a really good plastic since it conducts heat poorly so the entire pot is not hot even though the rice inside is steaming!) I hope that answers your question in relation to the consequences of the material.

Made out of aluminum. Be careful, it comes apart after a couple of uses! I returned mind.

This is a response I received to that question and made my DIL very happy: Erin said on January 21, 2014Update: I wrote the company asking them what this product was made out of and they kindly responded with the following: "All InterDesign products are BPA free. This product is made of PVC and it's Phthalate free."Thanks everyone for your answers!Erin

This is made using phthalate free, non-toxic materials - a PVC shaft and an ABS plastic base. Thank you for shopping with GW Corp!

I have my packaging here and it states "BPA and PVC free, made of 100% Food-Safe and FDA compliant materials." It doesn't state what those materials specifically are though. I'll provide you with the toll free number listed on the bag, though Amazon may block that out: 1xxxx888xxxx850xxxx0488.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

It is completely plastic, on the outside the plastic is molded so it looks like weaved polyrattan, but it looks good! I recommend it!

50 percent of the fibers in this cover are made from recycled plastic bottles. No smell. NOT PVC! NO PHTHALATES like that found in the cheaper vinyl coated covers. Also PVC is harmful to ground water and air from chlorine during manufacture. This cover has NO PVC.

It is made of plastic. I would check with the manufacturer to see if it is BPA free. Good question!

It is made of a flexible corrugated plastic. Not sure if it is a PVC or nylon origin, but it worked fine for my application.

It is made of plastic...BPA free. I have had about a dozen different personal blenders, and this is, without any doubt, the best one I have had. LOVE IT!
