Is the basket stainless steel?

The coffee pot I ordered was aluminum. It arrived in a box but the metal of the pot was extremely light and the spout was bent. It was not difficult to bend it back to where it was serviceable but it was not a sturdy unit. I have two other aluminum 20 cup coffee pots which are much sturdier. However, the Stansport coffee pot will brew a great cup of coffee and I find the 20 cup model much more desirable than smaller pots. The enamel covered pot may be sturdier but the aluminum pot still brews a good pot.

I believe they are aluminum vs. stainless. Not real sturdy, but do the job.

It is stainless & even the basket, etc. is stainless. Of course there are degrees in stainless also.

D. sorry did not answer sooner. The bowl is stainless and has a foam pad on the bottom which helps to keep it from moving about, the lid and basket are plastic.

NO its stainless steel. I loved mine so much I bought a second one. I use them both in the kitchen. One is an island of sorts the other is my baking area. it always has wet supplies and stuff. No rust nothing I absolutely love this.

Barry, The housing and threads are PVC. The basket and stopper are stainless. Let us know if you have other questions!

I don't think it's stainless, but it is much heavier than the previous model. I am still happy with mine after nearly a year.

Each basket is made of "corrosion resistant" stainless steel. The baskets are completely stainless, the stainless is not plated.- [Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does, but despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most notably under low-oxygen, high-salinity, or poor-circulation environments.[2] There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.]

The basket is stainless, albeit low grade. The center post is chromed plastic, and the "chroming' will flake off within weeks to months of use, at the most. I shall not buy this again, there are better quality strainers, but at this price point, you get what you pay for.

Yes, It is 100 % stainless steel. The handle is wooden & the globe is glass. There are some that have a rubber handle & plastic globe. Good Luck!!!

The basket is metal. The center post is plastic that's coated to look like metal. Overall, it appears rather flimsy however I've had one for about a year and it still looks good and works perfectly.

Knob on top it plastic but I did check before I bought it and made sure that the entire inside and basket assembly is made of stainless steel.

No. It's standard stainless steel. That must be some distortion in the photo.

YES! Because according to this person that I read, he said that the basket is not stainless steel. Well, according to that I used a magnet like he said to do and YES it did hold the magnet. So if the magnet holds on the pot, YES it hold on the basket. So my answer to your question is YES I believe it is stainless steel. I use it all the time to make deep fry chicken, french fries, etc and its the best deep fryer you can use. Stainless steel is the BEST for all your pots and pans also!

I don't believe it is stainless. I think it is some sore of casted metal, but it is hard to tell.

Yes the handle is stainless and this is by far the best dispenser. I had the purple plastic one sold at bed bath and beyond and the handle broke.

Yes it is. There's plastic / rubberized material at the top 1" or so to match the lid but below that inside is SS. No issues with rust, corrosion, etc. after almost daily use and regular washing for more than a year.

No, heavy duty stainless steel with a silicone handle. This the most heavy and wonderful dough blender I have ever seen.
