Only one person confirmed this is an aluminum core can anyone else confirm this? I do not want to purchase if it is not! I've tried researching this model and cannot find anywhere a mention of aluminum core!

Sorry I am not sure about that but I LOVE mine use it at least 3 times a week my induction cook top. It is heavy duty and cleans up beautifully!!

It aint aluminum cuz it melted at around 300'F. Not lead, cuz toxic. My guess is some bismuth / antimony eutectic alloy - but have not tested. But the part came, and fixed my pressure cooker !

I am neither the Seller nor am I in any way affiliated with the Seller. I purchased this item back in March 2013 to replace a rusting original. Paid a total of $84.00 at the time (incl. shipping). I too had a difficulty in determining from the then published picture what exactly they were offering...! Anyway putting aside the unjustifiably very high price of this grid (!!! :-( ) it works well and is made very well too. But.... Pay attention to the accurate part number. There are three different items carrying very similar P/Ns: * Franke : Prestige Plus Series PR31C Prestige Grid Drain * Franke : Prestige Plus Series PR36C Large Bottom Grid * Franke : Prestige Plus Series PR31S Prestige Grid Drain * Franke PRX-110-21 Kitchen Sink - 1 Bowl The last one is the Sink itself. In my case I acquired the PR 36C. The picture shown in the link: http://www.amazon.com/Franke-PR-36C-Prestige-Coated-Stainless/dp/B000GPSHIQ/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i is likely an error. The PR 36C is a Bottom of the Sink Grid (rests on its 4 small feet) and has the following max. measurements: Max. width: 18.5", max. depth: 13.5" and the small "feet' raise it 1" above the bottom surface of the Sink. I indicated here "max" because the shape is not an actual rectangle, rather a bit oval on all 4 sides.... Recommendation: do not place hot objects (hotter than you can touch) on it. Heat melts the coating of the wires and once the grid wires become exposed to air (and water) they start to rust....! (from experience!!). So make sure you order the correct and full P/N. Hope this helps.

I have one and it seems to be an aluminum that has an electroplated coating with a stainless steel pin at the hinge. friends of mine that have used the same one in a restaurant that serves spaetzle every day since 1976 have had the coating ware off. but it still makes spaetzle every day.

For the one I ordered at least (which very clearly stated "Stainless steel for even cooking" on multiple parts of the package), it was not stainless steel. It would not work with an induction oven, was non-ferrous (non-magnetic) and felt incredibly thin and cheap. 99% sure that it was aluminum, despite the fact I ordered the stainless steel one and the package said it was stainless steel (not just the stirrer, but the whole pot). I sent it back. It just felt cheaply constructed and didn't work with my stovetop anyway. Would not purchase from Great Northern again.

The reason it is called "stainless"is because of the fact that the alloy is impervious to oxidation (rust)........must be a counterfeit! Mine is awesome and is as advertised.Love using the set.

It doesn't seem to be stainless to me - has a flat finish. Could be aluminum but it seems a bit heavy. Could also be some type of alloy but I'm not sure. It does have the heat transfer properties of aluminum.

No, it is aluminum. When I bought mine it said in the description that it was carbon fiber but it definitely is not.

It apears to be Aluminum - I have written to the seller, as I have a concern with a small crack on the side but they have not replied as yet and that was a few weeks ago!!!

I am sorry the only source I looked at was consumer report. I did not look at the aluminum removal. It is rated higher than braun .

No phone # on instructions. Try google. company name is ISPASA Tortilladora Electrica.I use it often in my restaurant with no issue of the "aluminum." Seems SS to me.

The pictured miners are Clam Miners. They are kinda rare here.They make a few different models. But these guys are saying theyre selling AntMiner S1 units.So someone uploaded the wrong pics, or either before this was a S1 catalouge/ad, it was a Clam miner Listing.But either way no worries, these guys say they are selling 100% Antminer S1's

No, it's CCA "copper clad aluminum". The description didn't state this so I ordered it thinking it was....disappointed to say, it's NOT solid copper.

I think the steel one is a different model than the aluminum. It has a different letter after the name

I believe the core of the table top is all metal. I contacted my niece - who I had given the table to - and she told me she thought it was metal. She loves the table. If she likes it, then I must have purchased a decent product!

If you're talking about the black part, no it's not aluminum. This was a good buy. I used to buy Farberware all the time until I had to return it 3x and was told they are now compromising their parts. I love electric perc coffee so for 40 some odd dollars and the size I feel I got a really good deal.
