Its stainless steel.

Apparently, like another review said, the threads of the screw hole is not stainless steel (as advertised) but a cheaper metal

Love the shiny stainless steel.

My cheap stainless steel steamer finally fell apart after about 20 yrs of use and had to be replaced

Had I caught Karen in time I would have volunteered to replace the ill-fated handle with a stainless steel eyelet, nuts, and washers from the hardware store and saved us the expense of the cheap steamer basket.

I purchased this for my giant stainless steel pot because I was going to make tamales and didn’t want to buy a whole new pot

Best stainless steel steamer I have used

Bought to replace a stainless steel steamer that I had had for nearly 35 years…

This all stainless steel steamer is great for all size pots.

I ended up popping the bottom center piece off to be able to remove the handle then used a stainless steel washer and nut with some locktite to reattach the handle

Good design but rusted with the first use!I thought it would be made from stainless steel

The thread in the handle base appears to be stainless steel, but the thread in the base appears to be a softer metal that corroded or eroded away

So, what I like about the Oxo comparatively is that, for a reasonable higher price: (1) the blades in my experience are sturdier, better attached, and do not come off; (2) the pop-up handle that substitutes for a fixed post can be unscrewed so as to not get in the way of scrubbing and cleaning; and (3) the stainless steel generally cleans more easily and thoroughly than the cheaper steamers either post or non-post, both on the top side of the plate and on the bottom side of the plate

We go through stainless steel steamers from the grocery store every few months

The only caveat, as with all stainless steel steamers, is that when cooking fish or chicken it will be a huge mess to clean up if you do not use a non-stick spray product beforehand.

I used it to cook small potatoes and eggs in shell together to make a potato salad--worked great!The steamer is stainless steel and the handle is extendable and locks into position so you can remove the steamer from pan/pot without having your hands close to the steaming water.

This stainless steel steamer is one instance where I prefer the steel over the silicone models

I am very pleased with the OXO Stainless Steel Steamer

If you have stainless steel pots, you may like it better.

It should not have rusted at all as it's supposedly stainless steel, and the overall quality/durability is lacking

Stainless steel and fits a small to large pot.

Seems perfectly fine, but probably would have preferred a steamer insert without a plastic handle, i.e. 100% stainless steel
