I have a question regarding the insert? Is it plastic or made of stoneware?

The insert is stoneware and the lid is glass. The only things plastic are the handles and temperature knob.

The insert where you build the fire is metal. The structure that holds the insert is cast stone. Hope that helps. It is a great fire pit and is very nice looking

These appear to be stoneware however, I would classify them as a very nice stoneware - almost china like but not. Hope that makes sense!

I gave the bowls as gifts in December so do not have them with me now. I believe that they were stoneware. They were very nice - all recipients have been very pleased with them. Highly recommended!

Definitely is a ceramic insert as is typical on many slow cookers. This has been a great slow cooker for me btw. The heat settings are appropriately modulated so that they are not too low or too high IMO.

Stoneware. It is heavy duty. I like it. But, it weighs a lot, so if you were looking for something lightweight, this wouldn't be a good choice. I think it makes great coffee.

The insert that shipped with my Fagor was teflon coated aluminum. I then researched, found and bought a stainless insert.

There are glass doors in the inserts but although the rest of it appears to be a metal or wood, it is actually some kind of plastic.

Not really Joanne. The entire thing is made from Ceramic including the lid. Neither is it stoneware, all ceramic. Be careful with it and it will give you some wonderful coffee. The main reason why I love it is because the plunger and the filter is made from metal and not plastic. I hate mixing boiling water with plastic. That feature alone made me buy it over the other ones.

It is a type of plastic. You would have to contact Nordic Ware to find out the composition. I've used mine for may years and don't feel there's a problem.

I would say your fine with the natural stone. I used a glazed clay bowl and put it on top of a table. Works great.

This stone is cookware grade. There are to many flaws. There are holes and cracks. This makes cleaning difficult and allows for bacteria to be trapped.

It is stoneware, but it is quite nice and durable. I am very happy with the pasta bowls.

It is not made of stone. It has a thin covering if finely crushed stone over aluminum. It is a totally smoth surface. You need to initially season it, and then repeat it every once in a while.

The insert is stoneware. A rather heavy piece of ceramic type of material. Yes it removes for easy cleaning.

Ceramic. It is NOT stone ware. It will break if dropped on the ground. I own one myself and I take great care of it. Otherwise a fantastic product.

I have no idea, although I ordered the style with the granite insert I received one without it! Return process was so complicated....getting back in tiny boxes, carrying, etc. I decided to just keep it and got a little refund on order. Not what I ordered, but very nice.
