Lid is stainless, thin metal. We (a preschool) used the plastic ones for many years, having to replace them about every 18 months due to breakage. These have stood up well. My only complaint is the mechanism that holds the lid open. It is a little "switch" that stops the lid from closing. It works well, except that when it is in use, children try to close it, bending the lid. Foot petal is sturdy (main problem on plastic ones)

Stainless. Other than the Glad Trash Bags (with built-in straps) being difficult to place (very tight), I have no complaints about this can. You get what you pay for!

The top is stainless. There is matte black plastic trim around the top edge of the can, but the top is stainless.

Yes. The front is mostly stainless steel. It looks just like it does in the picture. The top is black.

NO! The color flakes off. If there is no color or coating of any kind then yes it is. The lid does great and so does the inside. Hope that helps.

the lid is glass, with a metal rim and flexible black plastic gasket. the top handle is plastic, secured with a screw underneath.

Yes, what other folks have mentioned is true--the lid has a black plastic component that is not apparent from the photos. I'm personally anti-plastics when it comes to containers of any kind that store my food and drink, but I haven't been able to find a french press that doesn't have some plastic component. That said, I do love this french press and recommend it if you cannot find something that suits your preferences.

it is hard plastic. I've been using it for a few months now, and the threads inside the lid are stripping a little.

The lid is cast iron. At least mine is! I have the one in the picture. I love it!

The top of the lid is metal, but the underside is plastic. Well made, thick, not at all flimsy.

is the lid plastic-does it appear moist? this defeats stainless inside purpose of no odor or deposit buildups... ?

Hi Steve, my wife bought this item, she said it is the swirl design and remembers it all to well. She thought she was getting the black lids and when she opened the box and saw the red lids with swirls she packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. FYI she later went to Target and bought the Rubbermaid Premier in the store and informed me they have both clear plastic and glass with the red lid. Hope this helps!

Hi, Anoush,The lid is plastic covered with stainless steel. The part that seals the lid against the pot is plastic, domed top is stainless. This is my first electric kettle and I really like it. Hope it works for you, too.Cheers,Carol

The lid is plastic but the body is stainless steel. When in use water does splash up to the inside of the lid so I use withou lid on. Just have to be careful to watch when lid is off and make sure it turns off. I just did not like the smell of the plastic-that's why I use without the lid.

I'm not sure. Mine is all black plastic. Can't tell if the one in your picture has a stainless steel cover or just a silver colored plastic. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The lid is stainless steel. But, try as I might, I cannot tell you if the clear top is plastic or glass.

The lid is plastic. It's sturdy and fits tightly but fairly flexible and not difficult to pop off when you want/need to.

I think mine is blue or green-hued. No plastic lid. I really like this cookware. Very sturdy. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have handles.
