Would you be able to tell me if this water heater is BPA free? And also if there is a lot of steam production or if I could place it on the counter underneath my kitchen cupboards.

The interior is stainless steels which I really liked. I did not observed lots of steam when it was still working. That been said, however, it probably will only last for a year, according to my experience. I will not buy from this brand again.

I would not buy this product again. Rust in the inner water tank. Failed after 1 yr. Minimal steam.

I am not sure about the bpa. Other people seem to think it does not. In terms of steam, it only occurs when the unit is initially boiling. I pull it out and fill it up. Once it beeps, it means it is done boiling and I slide the unit back under the cupboard.

Stainless steel interior, no BPA. Vents steam when boiling and should not be placed under low hanging cabinets.

The interior is stainless -- can't guarantee there are no plastic parts exposed, but the stainless reservoir was part of my criteria. It's not lined. But when you dispense water, there is enough steam I think I would hesitate to put this near unfinished wood, for example, under cabinets. It's not from when it's heating, but when you dispense the water -- can't help a plume of moist then!

Well, I honestly do no know(I have lost the information sheet for the unit)... and honestly, I don't know what the "BPA" even stands for. I would hope that the unit is made from food grade materials. I mainly use it for cooking large amounts of hard cooked eggs, for salads and the like. I also steam broccoli and carrots. I use the steamer two to three times a week, there has been no "unusual" odors nor tastes in the foods I've cooked in the unit. I'm sorry I couldn't be of much more help to you, with the loss of the information sheet, I feel a bit inadaquate in assisting you in your question.

This is Teri Vitallo, a representative from Thermos, and I wanted to clarify that our FUNtainer bottles and food jars are made with BPA FREE materials. Thank you for your interest.

The documentation for the kettle does not say it is BPA free. Since the pot has two plastic viewing inserts I suppose it is possible for it to emit BPA.

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

As far as I know you have no exposure to BPA from stainless steel which,except for the plastic handle and the cover,is what the kettle is made from.I would say your OK, but you may want to verify that with the manufacturer.

As it is described on there ads, it should be BPA free. I freeze water in it and it lasts well over an hour in the summer, although condensation might stop you from doing it again

Do not know about BPA and yes the hot water pours over the plastic. I got rid of it soon after I got it i was not happy with it. Did not hold temp long.

Nothing on the box says anything about it being BPA free. Good luck if you juice, I did a total of about 5 juice glasses and didn't like them. It just sits on my counter taking up space now.

As far as I know, this steamer is not BPA free. I bought it and then returned it because I thought the food shelves were stainless steel, but it's all plastic. It was a cute steamer, but I didn't feel good about the BPA leaching into our food. I now have a completely stainless steel steamer by Secura, which I bought here on Amazon. It looks large, but it works very well and is pretty versatile.

Leyla, where did you get your info that the filter screen plastic has BPA? It says BPA-free kettle on Cuisinart website (Product ID: CPK-17), which means any part that comes in contact with water should be BPA free... right? So the manufacturer says it's BPA-free and Leyla says something else???? Somebody help me out here?!!!!

Hello, I thought it said it is bpa free but didn't see any mention of it. You may want to check the website www.progressiveintl.com. I got to run! I hope this is helpful.

It is stainless steel inside, other components don't get hot. Not sure if it is BPA free

BPA is only a problem when heated to a high temp. I wouldn't worry about it

I would avoid using boiling hot water with any plastic product BPA free or not.

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.
