Is the Jar Rack Stainless Steel or Just crome plated steel ???

The description says that it is chrome plated, but does not specify what it is under the plating. Judging from the weight, I'm guessing that it is stainless steel.

The jar rack is stainless but every weld rusted the first time I used it. I contacted Ball about the rust spots but they had no cure for the problem. I kept the canner and have been using it without any problems other than that small complaint.

I use my canner at least 1 - 2 times a week - I will admit there are rust spots where the handles attach to the basket and at the weld joints. Its not a fast rusting that weakens or makes the basket brittle, but its visible enough to know it is there. I have been using my basket for well over a year and the rust has not progressed. I do add a nice gulp of vinegar to my WB water while processing because I have extremely hard water, so not sure if that's what has been slowing the rust aging down or not.

I dont know what the material is Mine Lost the small ring Holding The rack at the cener of the bottom in the First Few months after i bought it . That Doesnt mean that I dont use it because it has served m needs for several summers of jelly Jam and salsa Cannning at over 40 cases a summer.So even with the small amount of rust I feel like its the best Cannner i have ever used.

Interesting that 3 people answered that this rack is stainless steel when the description clearly states that it is chrome plated. That being said, I have used a heavy duty chrome plated rack on the barbecue numerous times and had no problem with it. Even cleaning burnt, crusted drippings isn't difficult if I soak it overnight first.

The doors are fully stainless. The rest of the unit is just metal. I have been very happy with the cabinet. Its pretty heavy duty

I checked. I don't see anything that is made of plastic. It appears that all is metal/stainless steel. Housing and fan for sure. Not 100% sure if there may be some wiring that is coated but that must be hidden and that's just the way it has to be. Also nuts and bolts look like full metal. We have the metal grid racks.

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.

The rack is metal, not sure if it's stainless. My issue with the canner is the rippled bottom. I have a glass stovetop and it does not heat evenly, therefore it never reaches the appropriate temperature to can. I am looking for a smooth bottom one currently.

It's chrome plated. If you want stainless steel then check out the ikea sutare roasting pan with a stainless steel rack. The rack fits qtr sheet pan that you can use in a bov800 oven. The rack works great. Easy to clean and no rust or chrome. The set is 12.99. It took forever to find a stainless steel rack.

The rack is stainless steel. The roaster is stainless steel and can go in a very hot oven, same as all stainless products.

Dear Cindy Thompson, Thank you for your recent inquiry. The Over The Sink Dish Drainer Rack is stainless steel. We hope this information has been helpful.

The rack is a sturdy metal covered with a rubberized material. I actually painted my rack black to match the wrought iron I have around my house

It is a hard clear plastic. I don't use it since have the rack sitting in the small bowl of my sink. It seems to be a sturdy tray, though. I hope this helped. I love mine!

The rotator assembly and the mounts are plastic and the shower curtain rod is stainless steel. Never had any problems with rust.

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?

I think it is chrome plated and so far it hasn't rusted but it's been my experience that these always eventually rust. However, I'm very hard on them I use them in the oven and put them in the dishwasher but I still get a couple of years of use. Also this one is nice because it fits inside of the half sheet pan and it was also pretty cheap.

Sorry - answered for the wrong product. So here goes, second try. Love this rack. It's metal and plastic (handles and joints). I have one, my sister has one, my daughter has one. No mistake about it.

It is metal covered in rubber/felt. This is the best tie rack I have owned.

It is definitely stainless. This saute pan is absolutely great! It is a versatile, well-constructed and beautiful. An incredible and indispensable addition to a kitchen. Don't look at a gift horse in the mouth. You better snap this one up because it is an absolute steal!
