Product title says "stainless steel", but description says "stainless finish" and material "metal." WHAT KIND of METAL? Alumuninum? What?

Don't know. I have the oil rubbed bronze finish and the are a good quality.

Don't claim to know - but they seem sturdy and look beautiful. We have brushed stainless finish upstairs and oil rubbed bronze downstairs and would do it again - no, will. We are remodeling our other house this summer... Maybe a note to mfg. could go more in depth.

Okay I did write to Delta and sent the following reply: "Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in Delta Faucet Company products. I would be happy to help you.The metal body parts of the faucet are cast brass.Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance. Best Regards, KeriConsumer Response Representative"I guess that we will be ordering more this summer during the Dallas remodel. Thanks BMF again for making us aware of the potential problem : ) gm

I don't know what kind of metal it is but aluminum is lightweight and this seems heavier to me.

They said it was stainless in the description. Other than that I don't know.

It seems more like aluminum to me. I don't know. It could be stainless steel but it's very light.

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

I know, so many retailers claim stainless steel when their product is only chrome plated steel. (THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE, IMHO.) YES THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY STAINLESS. I made some modifications to mine and cut thru it. The metal is a nickel silver color. Moreover, it is non-magnetic --a characteristic of many stainless steels.

I assumed they were stainless steel, but I'm no expert in metals. It could be aluminum. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

It is metal, pretty sure it is stainless steel. I really like my unit. The only thing you need to get is a recipe for brown rice. Not very clear in the directions.

Aluminum with a nonstick coating. Magnet won't stick and not a ceramic or plastic.

It is too heavy to be aluminum, but it looks more like powder coated steel than stainless. I've had mine a couple of months and it still looks good and I like it a lot, but I see potential for it to rust at the welds.

re: "It is a form of steel containing chromium, resistant to tarnishing and rust" ...is stainless steel.This pan is not made of stainless steel. It is aluminized steel, which is plain old rust-prone carbon steel, with an aluminum coating:(ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel). It is in general terms similar to galvanized steel, but using aluminum-silicon alloy instead of zinc.

I have checked my printed information that came with it and looked at it on line, but all I can find is that it is metal. No mention of the type.

they are aluminum. As much as I like them, they would be perfect if stainless....

Dear Eileen, Actually it is high quality aluminum. I would highly recommend this product. I use it constantly and love it especially when grinding ginger. Great product!

Good question. I brought a stainless steel finish and gave it my contractor to install for a new construction. I will go over to job site today. Will check and let you know

Not the one I bought-- definitely NOT stainless steel. It appeared to be zinc. It's possible, however, that the seller has remedied the problem since the time I bought mine. Seller issued me a refund when I pointed out the product did not match the description.

I purchased 3 of these at the same time, they all came at the same time but were all slightly different. They appear to be stainless steel. Not a bad product.

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.
