What is the basket made of? Is it chrome or stainless steel?

The product description says "stainless steel" so I assume that's for the pot and the basket. The typical grade of stainless steel that is used for this type of product has approximately 18% chromium in it, so that's probably what you have here. Pure chrome would not be acceptable for this service - you need the nickel added as well, and this grade of stainless steel would also have about 8% nickel.

My husband says they cannot afford to make it out of chrome so he thinks it is stainless steel.

Looked at the papers I saved and it does not say. I do believe it to be stainless steel. It is a good product. I really like mine.

I believe it's stainless. The basket and stem are the basic...I think aluminum.

Its made of stainless steel, if it was chrome plated it would be shinier. My opinion of course.

The basket and handle/frame are fabricated with chrome-plated materials; they are not stainless steel.

Both. It's made mostly of chrome plated stainless steel, with a couple of plastic parts.

Yes, it's all metal other than the rubber grips at the top and bottom. It's really well made and heavier materials than I thought it would be. It's a darker bronze and completely adjustable/customizable as far as height and location of baskets. I bought this in comparison to my $120 one at The Container Store-this one was Better quality. Hope that helps.

Not sure what you're asking. The whole basket is a metal basket and doesn't rust when I wipe it down with soap and water. The articles in the basket do not come with it. Hope this helps.

The one I bought is chrome colored plastic. There is also one available in chrome coated brass.

It is smooth metal, that appears to be a painted metallic silver (I think it looks like some cheaper "faux" stainless steel refrigerator fronts I've seen). Does not look chrome or stainless or brushed stainless.

The baskets are made of metal. They are 3.50 x 4.25 inches. Hope this helps

Chrome...stainless steel ...I don't worry about it. I use it only once or twice a year and it has held up. I bought the original 15 years ago and would still have it but I left it at my son's house two Thanksgivings ago. I use it for 20+ lb turkeys and have made aluminum foil handle extenders to solve the problem of handle slippage...just grab the foil extension and pull the handle up out of the pan.

I believe its stainless steel. I bought it for a friend of mine who owns a bakery. I know that he has used it several times for weddings and loves it. It is sturdy and beautiful. Classic piece.

Shiny Crome but it is also made in Bronze. I like the Chrome over my Island because it is a nice contrast to my dark cabinets and gives a less formal feel.

The basket is not aluminum. It is more magnetic than a high grade stainless steel.

It's total of 36pcs and it's made of stainless steel and the color is silver. Hope the reply is helpful for you.

it is plastic that has been chromed. So far it has held up for me. I have found when tightening the plastic nut on the inside you need to use a pair of pliers or an adjustable wrench.

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.
