does the lid contain plastic that touches the liquid, or is it all stainless?

I just looked and while most of the cap is plastic, the part that touches the water is steel, and then there is a gasket. So the only plastic that would touch water is a little bit of the gasket seal which insures water proof. This is a quality item of very good manufacture, I love it.

Only stainless touches the liquid. There is plastic in the lid, but it doesn't touch the liquid when the lid is screwed on.

The lid id plastic, but this would not come in contact with the water unless you held it upside down. There is also a screen in the spout that is stainless, but this fine screen is held in place with a thin black plastic ring that has a small splash guard at the top. It is too high to be in constant contact with the water until poured. So this plastic only incidentally contacts the water briefly. We use the pot every day and it is the best electric tea pot we have ever owned or used.

Jennifer R is WRONG and has obviously never used/cleaned this thermos before. It is NOT plastic inside. Only the drinking part (that can be removed) is plastic and does not touch the liquid when filled to the correct level. The inside is not a shiny stainless steel. It's a smooth, non-shiny metal. The body itself is metal. The top, screw-on cap and the part that touches your mouth (neither is in contact with the liquid if the thermos is not overfilled and the thermos remains upright) are the only plastic parts.

Yes, the body of the kettle is 100% stainless. The plastic handle and lid do not touch the water at all -- the plastic parts are only on the outside.

i see no plastic elements inside the kettle. The underside appears to be all stainless.

The company makes several models I have the stainless one.The body is metal. The inner valve (which is pushed down to push out air) and the lid are hard plastic.. And quoting from the Airscape Planetary web site "Designed of durable, BPA-Free, restaurant-grade stainless steel not only are the AirScape kitchen canisters non-toxic ..."

Part of the lid that holds the mesh filter for pouring as well as underneath the metal is all plastic, but it is surrounded by metal. The plunger rod and the rest of the plunger are all metal.

The lid has no plastic. It is stainless steel. No food touches any plastic.

Yes, it does have plastic in contact with the water (not much, but some), plus the lid and spout filter parts. It's still enough plastic that I can taste and smell the chemicals which leech into the water.Disappointing, because I bought this kettle thinking it might be better than some of the others. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single plastic-free electric kettle on the market (in the US) right now.

The interior is stainless. Only the cap is plastic. We really like it, it has never leaked and one goes to school with our son every day.

No plastic. Solid metal. Even the knob on top is stainless. I am very careful about plastic and this product has no plastic touching anything you will be consuming. I agree with Flamimgo; it is a great kettle.

The interior is stainless steel. The only part of the thermos that is all plastic is the twist on inner cap. The outer cap has plastic on the inside of it, but the outer part is stainless steel.

No plastic inside or outside lid. All stainless steel. Great tea pot, highly recommend .

Yes, the inner rim that screw the lid is plastic, but it won't touch the food. The part that might touch the food is stanless steel.

The only plastic is on the under side of the lid and the small frame of the mesh filter. The rest of the inside is complete, seamless stainless steel.

The lid is stainless steel, NOT transparent. All-Clad is the BEST cookware I have used in over 50 years of cooking!

The inside of the lid is plastic. The rest of the inside is stainless steel.
