Is the basket plastic? If so, what are the measurements? Is it possible to replace it with a stainless steel one?

Yes, the basket is plastic you can use a metal steamer basket. Norpro 175 Stainless Steel Vegetable SteamerIt is a very nice unit and since we live in Hawaii and Hawaii has the most expensive electrical rates in the entire nation having this unit helps economize on the electrical usage. In Hawaii most homes have electric stoves. We occasionally use the the plastic basket. Buy the unit once you have it you can take it to a cook store to find a metal basket. Good luck!

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

yes, the basket and most everything else is plastic, but not that cheesy crap you find at Wal-Mart. The unit is very well made and give a great cup of coffee. The reason I bought the maker is because of it's shape & size. I have limited counter space at my summer cottage & this fit the bill nicely. Again, as for the plastic, the exterior is of a quality, chrome plated plastic...you really have to inspect closely to determine it.

I believe the basket is stainless steel. This pot is terrific. I liked it so much, I bought one for a family member who also enjoys using it often.

The bottom basket is not longer than the top basket. Hope this response helps.

My plastic base in which the rack sits in is 7-3/8" wide by 14-13/16" long. The utensil basket is 5-1/4" high.

Probably 8-12 inches depending on how heavy your basket is. I'm careful with it as the under frame is plastic. Works well for what I need without spending a ton.

The overall dimension were given in the description and while I don't remember what they were, I do know that the dimensions stated matched the TOP of the basket rather than the bottom. Since the item flares outward by abt 1/2 an inch on each side as it gets toward the top, I was unable to use it for the purpose for which I bought it. It was a nice basket otherwise

yes, the basket is plastic. Our church has been using this coffee pot for many functions and the basket looks as new as day 1. Highly recommend.

I'm sorry I returned mine as it was broken upon arrival. The baskets look very nice, but did not seem sturdy so I did not order another one.

It is made of stainless steel. Dipping the basket into hot oil or grease will not damage it. It is dishwasher safe.

The basket is magnetic, indicating that it is stainless steel and not aluminum. However a magnet does not stick to the basket lid or the perk tube so these parts could not be definitively identified as stainless steel.

Yes. It's sturdy enough. However without basket, it's like any other plastic product.

The picture shown looks a little bit different than the one I bought, but mine is mostly plastic except for the crank,gears, and strainer basket I've been happy with it so far and I've probably used it 10 times now.

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I sent the basket to my aunt, who lives far away from me. I will be seeing her towards the end of July, so if you're not in a big hurry, I can check the dimensions then.

The basket is 5 inches deep, 7 1/2 inches wide but as others have commented you need an additional inch of width for the mechanism. I have two and they fit neatly in both a kitchen and bathroom cabinet under the sink with reasonable clearance for the plumbing. The bottom is wire so I lined mine with heavy paper. It's a great product, mine are 3 years old work well and look as they did when new.

I don't think so; this is a very sleek looking waste basket. I got it in brown and it does not look plastic; fits in snug spaces. Good luck
