Is it just its lid or is the base plastic on this version too? Alot of weight removed for it to still be higher quality like my old version #GR1212.

Yes, the base is plastic. But, to me, it is lighter than the one we use to have and it works really good!

I felt the same way. It looks like this version is cheaply built, but seems to cook about the same. I did see that it will crack very easy if you're not careful, I put a small crack in mine cleaning it&#128542;

I have an earlier model with the same cover. I've dropped it several time while it was filled. Usually the lid stays on. +1 for a tight lid!

The put of the lid that lifts up is plastic, but the base of the lid that has the label is stainless steel

Yes! That's one of the nice design features. I should mention that I didn't actually get the stainless steel one, it looks a little different, but I'm assuming the lid design is the same.

It's entirely plastic. With the exception of a small closing guide bar that runs along the lid, which is metal. Everything else is hard plastic, pretty durable though.

Fairly thick lid and it has a hinge. We had an original one for over 10 years and loved it.

I believe it is plastic (I bought a glass replacement when I bought the unit). Make sure you get the version with the real handle. I got the one with a loop that swings up and it's a problem because the whole thing gets really hot and it takes two gloved hands to pour from the hot thing into your cup (one to hold the weight from the top, other to tip it).

The lift-handle on the can is metal, welded to the metal can. The handle that operates the lid is a seemingly good quality high impact plastic. I think the use of plastic on this part will provide the longest lifespan.

The lids are a thicker and harder plastic as compared to the container which is more rubbery. Also, I think I saw someone post that the contents don't come out easily... if you put in a shallow cup or bowl of warm water, or run under warm water, the contents come out with ease and perfectly clean.

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...

I have had mine for a few months. So far it has held up nicely. I can see only one spot where it looks like the lid and the base rubbed up against each other. But the rest is looking very good.

Everything is plastic, everything... except the base plate (the one it sits on and what would touch the paper) That being said it feels extremely solid, it is just lighter than the ones that have metal on them. I would buy it again.

I can't help you on that question. The first one that I bought had a rubber lid. It still works fine. The 2nd one had a plastic lid and it cracked quickly. However, I must report that the cracked plastic lid still works well.

it is hard plastic. I've been using it for a few months now, and the threads inside the lid are stripping a little.

Yes, I only use this plastic jar, much lighter and it won't break when my clumsy alter ego drops it. That is what happened to the original glass one.

I am assuming you mean the inside basket with inner lid? If so it is plastic also the black lid you could see on the photo is plastic, too. Yet it seems to be a good quality one as we are using it for our school's PTA meetings as well as twice a week every week for the last 5 months and it iss still in good condition.

I haven't sat on the lid, but durability was a concern of mine for the adult seat itself. As a person of "ample carriage," our previous seat would flex a bit and didn't feel sturdy. This seat actually feels MORE sturdy than the old one. It's solid, molded wood and is more rigid than the old one. I think the placement of the spacers underneath the adult seat (resting on the toilet bowl) are placed in a better position to support weight.
