What material are the grill plates made of? Aluminum/other metal or plastic?

They are made of metal, not sure which metal. They are also coated in a non-stick coating.

The grill plates must be made out of aluminum but coated with toxic Teflon. I'm on my second and last one, the first one rusted away but to be fair, I used it oudoors. The second and last is falling apart and needs to be polish as the outer covering is made out of some cheap metal and rusts. I don't buy cooking equipment at retail stores but instead I buy my equipment at a restaurant supply house.

It uses the standard issue aluminum tray from Weber. My best guess is the size is 8x5x1" deep. I use my grill 2 to 3 times per week and empty the grease pan about every 2 months or so. Access is pretty easy, especially after removing the large pan that catches all of the food particles that fall through to the bottom. Best grill I've ever had from Weber.

They're metal. I would have guessed aluminum, but they're ferrous so probably some alloy.

Aluminum. I have not used it yet. However. I will use cooking spray in it first.

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

Made out of aluminum. Be careful, it comes apart after a couple of uses! I returned mind.

The front panel is metal, the knobs are plastic, the speaker grill is metal. The top, bottom, and sides are wood.

Cast metal. After I saw ur question I was curious myself so I used a magnet to to check. It shoed no attraction to the grill plate.

I checked. I don't see anything that is made of plastic. It appears that all is metal/stainless steel. Housing and fan for sure. Not 100% sure if there may be some wiring that is coated but that must be hidden and that's just the way it has to be. Also nuts and bolts look like full metal. We have the metal grid racks.

Metal. They were of excellent quality. I ended up buying 100+ to use at my wedding.

The chrome reflector is metal and the grill on the front is metal - but the exterior housing is plastic. But the plastic parts do not get so hot that you can not lay your hands on it without getting burned; even on the 800 watt setting. I have no complaints on my heater. It does a great job.

They are steel with chrome plating. The food had no metallic tastes at all. It's very very quiet to my surprise. It has an adjustable thermometer and a timer also. Best thing I've purchased in a long time. Hope this helps!

My product has metal locking clamps, and the release buttons appears to be metal. The top part is brushed stainless steel or aluminum. The plates float on spring loaded pegs. I have used this product over 50 times, and nothing has melted as of yet.

they are aluminum. They have only lasted us about a year. The handles have come loose, the ceramic has cracked on the 4 quart sauce pan and the little frying pan.

I believe the tray and top heater plate are aluminum but I'm not 100% sure.

I believe they are aluminum vs. stainless. Not real sturdy, but do the job.

No, it is a steel material. Only the grille plates themselves are cast iron.
