Is it stainless steel or hard anodized aluminum

I think aluminum... not positive though. Look at the manufacturers website maybe??

The coating is something called Eterna. It's similar to Teflon but supposedly superior (I haven't used it myself so I can't endorse that fact). It's not anodized aluminum either; that's the coating on the outside of the pan.

As the ad says, it is aluminum. The other metal used for anodes is magnesium but aluminum is cheaper. As I understand it, magnesium is better if you have hard water. Changing the rod is easy and it prolongs the life of the water heater.

6061 Aluminum. Then hard coat anodized.....like an AR lower or well made upper.

I would guess stainless. Definitely not plastic, and too heavy for aluminum.

Stainless steel...there is no aluminum on this product. You will love it. I do.

I'm not positive, but I think that you're right. I just dragged it out of the cupboard to look, lol. It appears to be aluminum with a stainless steel handle. It did not cause any discolouration to the pot that it sat in.

It is a very nicely anodized aluminum. FYI well made, excellent tool, really gets the job done right. Fast, easy and neat.

Anodized aluminum. Very sturdy and sanitary. Make sure to either spray it with cooking spray or flour it before putting base dough on it or it will stick. Also, brush water around all the edges of the ravioli before putting on top layer of dough to help seal all the edges. This is a good kitchen utensil.

i believe its hard anodized with enamel matte coating on the outside....mine has the enamel coating on it...eiither way they are excellent pans and they work great...you'll love them

Kent gave one pro of hard anodizing = non stick surface in an earlier response. A con would be that most hard anodizing is done on aluminum. Essentially hard anodizing builds up an extra thick and stable coating of the base metal's oxide form. So in this case its Aluminum Oxide. Some people have bad reactions to aluminum so they would want to avoid hard anodized aluminum pans. Stainless Steel is on the other hand an alloy of iron, carbon and chromium. There seem to be less toxicity problems with stainless steel than with aluminum. Stainless steel will wear harder and longer than an anodized pan but it will scratch and it has almost zero non stick properties.

H.A. Hard anodization process alters and hardens structure of Cookware surface making it abrasion resistant I've only used it once thus far so I can't really confirm it.

I 'm not sure, but I think it' s made of Stainless steel because it doesn' t look like aluminum

I'm no expert but when I read anodized aluminum I think of the black coating on the outside or inside of a pan. These are brushed aluminum, not shiny, they're not black, they're not anodized aluminum.

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

I believe it is aluminum; definitely not stainless steel, but very durable. Idon't believe it scratches easily. I have two and they appear to be just fine.
