What type of material is the bowl made of where the water is heated?

The water is heated in a metal reservoir. It is inside the white base unit, below where the " bowl " sit. The bowls are made of a see through plastic, as pictured.

the base is a hard plastic.....the bowl is aluminum, I think...(some light metal) ...the steam is generated there. you don't get close enough to really see it......

I am really not sure, it does not state on the box or insert that came with it. It is a Conair product maybe you can get on their website and inquire with the company.

It is ceramic on the inside except for the plate on the bottom that heats the water. That plate looks to me like stainless steel.

When I used to have it (upgraded to a large tank so I don't have it anymore), it didn't get the bowl warm at all, just the water inside the bowl. Also I'm pretty sure the instructions said it must be fully submerged in water for use. If you want the one outside try checking out the reptile heating pads, those can be on outside.

The bowls are stainless steel. Hard water will cause a calcium build up or hard water stain. You can clean that with vinegar or barkeepers friend cleanser. A baking soda paste also works well

I don't remember anything saying it was microwave safe. I think most are like me and not think about heating up the water bowl. But there isn't any metal or plastic. It is a sturdy product, not like porcelain or fine china. I just tested it for you. No problem. You'd just have to experiment as to the temperature you want. I did get the water warm, no sparks or cracks.

the inside is ceramic, just the heating mechanism is metal. don't know what kind of metal, but think its stainless cause it does't rust.

It appears to be a hard plastic, and maybe recycled at that given the odd color or pattern variations on the inside of the bowl - but I am only guessing on the recycled aspect.

It is glass, with a plastic lid. I love this bowl, and use it all the time!!

To our best description, it's some kind of cast metal with a ceramic type inlay inside, I suppose to handle the heat of a fire. It very much has a look on the outside of stone. It comes all together. All you need to do is set it where you want and place the insert bowl inside and dome top on top. Hope that helps.

There is a 1/4 in roun d heat distribution plate on the bottom that is 6 1/4 inch round. The bowl rolls upward from there.

The bowl is stainless steel. It is NOT removable and is part of the top surface of the machine. Some people complain that not being removable makes it hard to clean, but I find it very easy. Being one piece means that there are no seams or other places that require special attention. This is a beatiful, well built machine.

Where it was made is not really a concern here. This is a high quality heavy guage bowl and it is HUGE! It is stainless steel, so it is dishwasher safe, probably fireproof at that, unless you want to throw it in a volcano!

The material of this bowl is a heavy plastic. The handle and bottom are covered in rubber. It is a 2 qt/2l bowl and is sturdy but not heavy. This household likes this bowl!

The entire bowl is stainless. The BASKET that goes inside the bowl is plastic.

I do t know, if you find out please post. I'm looking also. Mold is forming on the water bowl. Im thinKing look for collapsible bowls of the same size
