The inside bottom of the kettle is metal where the heating coil is and the rest is plastic.

It's a gross plastic that stinks and the water you boil in it has a foul taste. Stay away from it!

not sure the material. however the reason i bought another is you can't put in dishwasher or it will crack. hand wash only, so I don't think it will handle boiling water

The lid is actually metal, the handle is plastic with a plastic pushbutton, the kettle is metal, as well as the bottom, the base is a combination of both plastic and metal.

yes - the entire inside is plastic. I don't use the kettle tbh as the boiled water tastes of plastic, like a bottle of water you've left in the car on a hot day. Its in the cupboard and hasn't been used pretty much since I bought it. Try a metal kettle or something else. This is a bad buy.

It is made of plastic. I wouldn't recommend putting another stove on top of it if you're going to heat the portable stove.

I had to look, and I still don't know. I think it's just metal. It's black; the inside does not continue the outside color. But I still HIGHLY recommend this kettle.

The entire lid is stainless steel. The only plastic type material is the handle you see in black and the base. The water never comes in contact with any plastic. This is a great kettle!

A very durable glass. I have a gas stove and I was concerned about it breaking but it hasn't and I love it!!! Infact my water taste much better in this kettle than in a stainless steel or non stick coating pot. Hope this helps.

Simple answer - yes, it's made of Pyrex (borosilicate glass). But you will have a trouble to remove it from the stovetop.Just curious - why someone would put the teapot on the stovetop? if you need the glass kettle, just look for one, for example - "Yama Glass Chinese Water Kettle" here, on Amazon :)

It's plastic! I was not happy with it all! I ended up getting one where the pot is stainless steel & am much happier!

I don't know. I assume it's steel since it's fairly solid/heavy. I have been using this for several months now and am quite happy with it! I try not to leave water sitting in the kettle when I'm done. Highly recommended product. I really like the insulated, perfect-fitting (tight) lid.

The interior of the kettle is all stainless steel, except for a couple of plastic parts. The rubber seals around the temperature probe and of course the water level gauge which is plastic and the removable water screen.

The plastic inside this kettle is marked as #5. #5 plastic is a Polypropylene which is BPA free. Not convinced, I called the company and the representative assured me that this product was indeed BPA free. I am not sure why they are not advertising it as BPA free, however.

The only plastic exposed to the water in the kettle is the sight window that shows the water level. Other wise it is all stainless steel.

It is plastic. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems. Note: it does get a little hot so I'd recommend a pot-holder, if you're going to grab right after it's done percolating.

Pat, I don't know. Water is mostly in contact with stainless steel, on the interior there are two pieces of plastic where the handle is attached and the rim holding the lid is plastic and does contact the water as it is poured out. It has been an excellent kettle for us, just do not know about the BPA, sorry.

While not a metal expert, it seems to be stainless steel. I use several times a day. It is still in great, like new, shape. Nothing has flaked off.(!) Nice kettle.
