Why get stainless vs Alumnium? Thanks in advance.

The critical difference is that steel is sturdier and will hold scope zero over time much better than aluminum.

Sadiak and Springfield Armoury M1A mounts are tapered deflecting the ejected casing outward. The ejected casing is like a hammer striking the mount on the bottom. Without the taper low coast mounts bounce the ejected casing back into the breach jamming. Steel is good for most users titanium is better for enthuesist.

Well, stainless has a bluer look than chrome. It might look nice if you have a chrome faucet. Then those would match. This does come in other finishes as well. I believe stainless is one of the finishes. So it just depends on what you want the look to be.

I recommend the stainless version!!! cuz the rods are flexible, the water can go into the connections!

The item I bought was the ceramic so I don't really know about the stainless one. Sorry

I have a painted one that didn't fare well cosmetically after a couple rounds in the dishwasher. I advise just buying the stainless one if you intend to use the dishwasher.

Good question. Nobody seems to know. I ordered a BCC and received a BC and the seller claimed there was no difference and actually was unaware of a BCC version. I noticed that the BCC descriptions claimed stainless steel, but BC did not. I was afraid BC stood for "brushed chrome". However, when i received the BC version, it is stainless, and says so on the box. I did look into it and found some references to the BCC version being one that complied with Canadian safety standards. Maybe why there's an extra C?Regardless, we've had the BC for a few weeks now and love it. We had an older version Cuisinart grind and brew. this one is a great improvement. Good question.

As far as my research, it tells me that, yes, stainless steel is a healthy choice. In question are aluminum cookware for alzheimers connection and the coatings that some cookware use have possible links to other illness. I have never heard anything bad about stainless steel though. As far as sticking being an issue. Definitely not! I cooked a sugary mixture for my homemade granola bars and it cleaned up easily. I've had absolutely no problems with sticking. I do soak my pans in hot water sometimes before washing but that is because I only use a soft rag to clean. I love my set. I've had it a year and a half and would highly recommend especially for its space saving. Go for it! As far as my research, it tells me that, yes, stainless steel is a healthy choice.

No, the quality of the stainless is incredible, especially for the price. We gave these as a present, and the receivers are thrilled with them and use regularly.

Usually both. Quit using ours. Found something much better. Stanley stainless

Infinite is far better in my opinion. I have a couple random pieces of "Elite" that I've picked up on sale to compliment my "Infinite" set that I bought here through Amazon and they just aren't the same. Elite is handwash only and not metal utensil safe. Infinite is the way to go, they are sturdier, have more heft and thickness(thus better heat retention), and are dishwasher/metal utensil safe. Only advantage Elite has are the glass lids, but once they fog up they aren't much good anyways. :-)

Stainless steel warms up quicker and is more stain resistant. It also tends to char food more easily. Aluminum tends to wear out sooner and may become somewhat porous with long use.

U429085 is better quality and thicker. It is also more expensive. The difference is not really noticeable to me as I've bought both. But some reviewers note there is less humidity with food staying good longer.

Excuse me but Aluminum transfers heat much more efficient than stainless, as for wearing one out, not in the average 20 yr old person's lifetime.Stainless, Alum is not the problem, the gasket is the wear point.

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

No, BS = brushed Stainless and BN = Brushed Nickel. It might be close, but they consider it two different finishes.

The only issue is that people did not read carefully when ordering - As mentioned by other respondents you have a choice of stainless shelves or chrome - The stainless are definitely better than chrome but much more expensive. log on to www.sausagemaker.com for an online catalog where all options are clearly stated and thus make an informed decision.....Regardless of which you choose this is a great machine - Mine is going on 8 years old and has not given a moments trouble.......Merry Christmas

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.
