I would like to know about the lid itself. I though they make their lids in China. I worry about the plastic, don't think boiling water is a good idea

I don't understand your question? The top is plastic, very secure on the container. I use mine to store ice coffee in the frig. I don't "boil" anything in mine or put boiling water in it either. It works very fine for my purposes.

I know.. it's so SOOOOO frusterating trying to find a kettle with no plastic, and NOT made in CHINA... errrr.... I couldn't find an electric one with NO plastic (at least not one I could afford)... but I settled on this one which has the smallest piece of plastic but which doesn't touch the water ever.... and then when you pour there is a plastic filter, but I open the lid when pouring and the plastic never touches the water. And it is made in China if I remember, but I had to settle with it after MUCH research and a few returned kettles which had too much plastic inside. I don't understand WHY they would make a stainless steel kettle and then put plastic inside. Anyways... good luck to you!

These are made in China. However, these are the absolute best lids ever. I ordered 2 sets of them and glad I did. You won't be sorry.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I had the box in came in until I used it for another Christmas package this year so I didn't have a place to check where it was made. I'd recommend a different teapot anyway. I'm glad I got mine on sale and didn't pay the retail price at which I saw it listed. The knob on top melted when the pot overheated several months ago and this week, the know came completely off the lid.

I am corrected. The inside is indeed hard plastic with a metal heating element. That water gets boiling hot, but no worries. This is the best teapot I have ever owned. Ever.

"BPA free" is a gimmick. Read the science:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bpa-free-plastic-containers-may-be-just-as-hazardous/?&WT.mc;_id=SA_WR_20140813Don't ask if it is BPA free, but rather if any plastic comes in contact with water, including the lid where hot steam condenses back in. This and all the electric I have seen have this problem. Some stove top teapots do not have plastic at all and I would recommend those.

It is not plastic or china. It is whatever they make standard mugs out of. I hope this helps.

I share your concerns with anything made/coming out of China! Pot is a beautiful stainless steel w/copper bottom. No leaching. I am a vegetarian, very sensitive to impurities. I enjoy every cup of tea I make. I love my tea pot.

The steamer basket IS made in China to my understanding, but I'm pretty sure all All-Clad lids are made in China. I think just the main pot is Made in USA.

I had the same question and was able to find the answer by contacting the manufacturer directly. This as most all of these stove top percolators are made in "China"... sorry to be the bearer of such bad news but it seems in order for manufacturers to get their products sold by Amazon or Walmart they HAVE to be made in "China" not the good ole U.S. of A...

The cup part is made in Taiwan. I couldn't find if the lid is made there also sorry. Hope that helps.

It is made in China as stated on the bottom tag. I would assume then that crock and lid are too.

This thing is made out of polycarbonate, a particularly tough kind of plastic. Boiling water is no problem. Although it has no insulation value so you will have to wear oven mitts or use a pot holder so you don't burn yourself. I particularly like the design of this. Very practical.

Just to add to this conversation, even if many month later: I called All Clad and they said the tea kettle is made in China. Most of their products are. Made I n the US! Except for specialty items like this. It is made in an All Clad factory, not sub-contracted out, and it is made to their specs and monitored, as they do in all their factories. Given this response I am going to buy the tea kettle because I have had their cookware for many years and am satisfied. I have to trust them, even though I am not in the h a it of trusting corporations anymore, in particular those having anything to do with the growing and preparation of food.

I gave it as a gift at Christmas time, but I believed it was made in China. The inside was stainless steel and the outside was molded plastic. It's a very nice mug.

it is not original, it's made in China from recycled glass, I thought they (I bought 2 different ones) were original and had the original zinc lids, but they are reproductions. I still love them.
