Is it T-304 Surgical stainless steel?

I do not know if it is T-304 stainless. However stamped on the bottom is "Heavy gauge stainless steel" "Multi-Ply 12 Element" I use mine almost every day, sometimes, twice. It is easy to clean and I don't have a problem with food sticking.

This I don't know, but we've found it difficult to consistently keep from having foods/ batters stick. We recently purchased a ceramic coated griddle pan - and it's been a DREAM. We found it on sale at Macy's (T-Fal) - However, the metal beneath the ceramic coating is aluminum, if that is of concern to you.

Thanks for clarifying! The Amazon heading has "stainless steel" in the title, so I'm glad I discovered it's actually teflon coated before ordering.

I'd heard it was 1045 carbon steel, but with the mirror finish and CHINA imprint along with the low price, I'm guessing there's a chance its just stainless steel. Although the blade is very thick, so I'd imagine its still fairly durable.

It's steel, just like the rest of the kettle. On the bottom it's mostly steel also with a round copper shape in the middle bout 2 and one half inches round that states " T-304 Stainless Steel-Multi-Ply 12 element, Lifetime warranty". It's the best looking and made kettle I have ever encountered, very well made.

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

304 stainless will not rust. i believe the difference basically is that one is alloyed with nickel the other with chromium.chromium alloys are much whiter.

The one I received (and wanted) was the full stainless steel one. I don't know if there are other models such as the one pictured here, but again, mine was all stainless. I still like it a lot.

Yes it is stainless steel - 304 Grade (18/8). The first number,18, refers to the amount of chromium present and the second represents the amount of nickel. 304 grade can have 18-20% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most common stainless steel used in the food prep / kitchen utensil market. Hope that helps, Don (co-founder Schefs)

No, it is not stainless steel, it is a plastic housing that is painted a metallic grey. Looks fine and works great for me, I am very happy with it.

The specs supplied with the 17pc cookware we ordered says they are multi layers of heat-conducting metals with 12-element 304 surgical stainless steel exterior. Hope this helps. We are very happy with the cookware we received.

I don't know but it is shiny (and shows no sign of rust) and appears to be stainless steel
