Is the press zinc or stainless steel? Citric acid dissolves zinc which is poisonous in large amounts.

Best to ask the manufacturer about that, but I doubt it is zinc. The metal has a mirror chrome finish and very strong but without cutting into it, I can't say for certain.

It is stainless steel. But the product is not very satisfactory. it is impossible to clean and looks very bad after a few days of use. None of my other stainless products look like this.

There r 2 forms of magnesium -- citrate and oxide. Citrate is the most affective.

Usually both. Quit using ours. Found something much better. Stanley stainless

SafetyCopper pots that are lined with materials like tin and stainless steel can protect you from potential toxicity related to copper. The metal is easily dissolved by some foods and large amounts can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. According to the Food and Drug Administration, acidic foods cause copper on unprotected cookware to dissolve into foods. If you use unprotected copper-lined pots and pans, research the acidity of certain foods.

I cannot say for certain, but it looks like chrome to me. It is not zinc and is smoother and shinier than stainless steel. It works for me. Scarlett Z

it is stainless. Maybe we got a dud... but it leaked all over our son's lunchbox.

Any...any....high carbon stainless steel will be attacked by chlorine and heat and high humidity....any....any....will also rust if totally neglected.....there is no free lunch....

I called Norpro, about where the Stainless-Steel Citrus Juice Press was manufactured. Their response was USA. I looked at our Juicer. There is "No Made In..." stamped on the unit. We use it daily on limes and lemons. Inspection shows no signs of rusting nor corrosion. So, call Norpro and ask them. China steel is questionalble as to its content.Good Luck.

Hello, Thanks for the inquiry. Titanium is an element and does not contain any metals compared to stainless steel which contains nickel, some people may have allergic reactions to nickel. Also, titanium needles will last much longer than stainless and the needles are sharper. Royal Derma Roller needles are made of titanium only.

The toxicity ceiling of zinc is much higher than 11 mg (I think it is closer to 80 mg). You can go over your recommended daily intact without it being toxic.

From the Kidbasix website: "We use food grade stainless steel (300 series or 18/8) in all of our products, which has a maximum of 8% nickel. It is the presence of nickel that results in the formation of the molecular structure that gives this grade some of its key characteristics such as high strength, ductility (ability to be formed) and toughness. It is our understanding that all stainless steel has some nickel in it and it does not pose a health threat. However, there is a small percentage of the population that has a nickel allergy in which case they should stay away from all stainless steel as it may cause a skin rash."

It is a stainless steel, not sure of the composition. I got it for food prep, as I did not want to use a 1095 blade because of keeping a 1090 blade oiled/conditioned to prevent rust. This stainless has yet to discolor from acidic food like onions or tomatoes and such. Very happy with the blade, worth the money IMO.

If I understand your question then it is plastic. The piece and the end of the metal rod, right? I have to admit, since I bought it I bought a second for work, it is the best quality press I have owned. Let me know if you have any other qs

Mine is Stainless Steel. If you have metal flakes they can be accidentally coming from outside sources. All Pots and Pans require to be washed with soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly before use. That's a rule of thumb. (The metal flakes can also come from the electronic parts during the assembly.) It's your job to clean the pot before use, thereafter there should be no metal flakes. There's a real simple way to determine whether SS or Chrome, so you never have to ask again Take a magnet from your frig note holder (any magnet) if it doesn't stick its excellent Stainless. Which is called food Stainless and doesn't rust. Cheaper Stainless has less Zinc and can hold a light magnet. Usually found in outside BBQ's they sell as Stainless but is crap Stainless and will ultimately rust (usually spotted rust marks). Zink is very very expensive, so only the best Stainless contains the right amount of Zinc. If a magnet sticks like glue, then its metal, or chromed metal. Keep that in mind. (There various types of Stainless, only Food Stainless is of the highest grade.) Non Food such as an Outside Bar-B-Q is usually junk Stainless, You have to buy a Weber to get better Stainless, of course the price is higher, but will last you a lifetime. Stainless isn't Stainless on average items, and magnet test will help identify the quality.

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?
