Is the outside of this stainless steel or porcelain? I had a stainless steel one and gave it away because it was so hot if you touched the outside.

I don't honestly know; we gave it as a gift. The recipient, however, loves it.

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

It has a porcelain enamel outside, DuPont non-stick inside. Very well made, and its a plus to be able to put in oven as well! ���

It really doesn't get hot on the exterior. I adore this convection oven and use it almost every day. Have never felt that it is hot on the outside, in fact I keep a small metal decoration on top and it is no problem. Used up my first one in four years, and now on to my second. LOVE, love, love this oven.

yes, the outside is a brushed stainless finish. This Thermos keep the water really warm for long time & very convenient to use.

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

It does not seem porcelain coated, but it does have a burn plate that maintains the coffee warm while it is on. I don't know if I complete understood the question but the fact is that the plate is the way it was when I bought it, and I guess this is good. Hope it can be of some help.

It's ceramic so shouldn't rust. Haven't had mine for long. I do notice there is some calcification around the outside of the bowl. I use tap water so that's probably why. I just make sure to totally empty it and clean out the hair and food that might get into the filter area. It's very heavy.

This pot is stainless steel, inside and out. No other material touching your food. I love this pot; it's very well made.

It is ceramic under the stainless. Im not sure about the fire resistance. If it was just the face of a fireplace I would think it would be ok. Im not an expert though.

The interior is porcelain. The top is stainless. I read reviews about the handle getting too hot but I have not had that problem. The stainless steel top does however get very hot as you remove it, if you plan to put your tea bags into the teakettle. It is a very nice little teakettle and we'll worth the money.

I am really not sure what it is but it is dull and not shiny as the outside stainless steel. I thought the description explained that but see it doesn't. I apologize for not being able to answer your question.

I believe it is porcelain. I have had for 3 or 4 years now. Used many, many times. I bought for a very large Lasagna recipe. Now find I use it for almost all casseroles of any size. I store it in my oven due to limited space in my home. Have for got it was there and preheated my oven many times with it in there empty. Do not know if this is why interior surface has "spiderweb" cracks beneath surface. Cannot feel cracks and they do not effect performance. I noticed them after about a year.

It is silver snide, so I assume it's probably some kind of stainless steel. The inside has maintained itself well. I wash it in the dishwasher always. Unfortunately, the outside gold color peels off a bit each time. I've had it for many months now and it's about 1/4 silver on the outside and 3/4 gold. Works fine for keeping coffee hot.

Stainless steel doesn't rust. I previously owned a Demi enamel which had some type of corrosion on the inside. I contacted Le Creuset, but I had to ship it back to them so they could determine the cause of the damage, and I decided it was too big of a hassle

It's a metal exterior so it gets hot! I wouldn't want it around children. I've forgotten & tried to touch it to move it & it was hot enough to make me snatch my fingers away quickly--they felt like they had been burned, but the sensation faded quickly (my fingers weren't actually burned, just felt like they were for a few seconds.)

I do believe it is stainless steel. It looks the same as the outside and does not appear to be lined.
