Not quite sure but this steamer is awesome. We steam everything from broccoli to asparagus and it steams perfectly in a short time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fresh steamed vegetables.

Sorry, I don't know what bpa is. This product is very good especially when your on the go. The steam comes out of the top.The fish I make is really tender and taste.

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

Hello Sherry D. The packaging states that the item is BPA free. Thanks for your inquiry, Julie

I really have no idea if this is BPA free, but it is at least 90% stainless steel. We have had it for a few years now and use it almost every day. No problems. Never have had to clean it or descale it. I recommend it highly.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

I don't know about BPA free, but it is FDA approved for microwave cooking. The Fasta Pasta is made in the USA.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

I got this off the steamer's manufacturer's website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical commonly used to make polycarbonate plastic, a clear, shatter-proof material. Progressive makes a conscious effort to avoid these materials when designing and producing our kitchen products."

You know... at the end of the day... I use the steamer for about 20 minutes at a time. All can goods now have BPA in them and they sit in them for weeks if not months. I think the 18 mins it takes to steam salmon and veggies isn't near what it would be in can. And keep in mind that BPA isn't toxic, the complications come from the fact that it mimics estrogen. I'm happy with my steamer, because it has really turned me on to steaming... will I move to stainless steel... more than likely, but this little bugger is a great starting point.

Hello, I thought it said it is bpa free but didn't see any mention of it. You may want to check the website www.progressiveintl.com. I got to run! I hope this is helpful.

I would avoid using boiling hot water with any plastic product BPA free or not.

I have this rice cooker and its very hard finding one that is stainless. As to steamer, I don't think is stainless. I couldn't figure out how to use it either.

I don't know if the pitcher is bpa free. I had wondered that when i purchased it. But in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter because you don't let the water sit in the pitcher anyway, it will dissolve your mineral cube faster. I transfer all the water i make to glass.

Yes, it is BPA free. I have only used the bottle to keep water, and good taste has ramained unchanged.

The manual that comes with the steamer doesn't make any reference to the type of plastic used. You might want to go to the oster.com web site and ask them.
