Are there any non-stainless steel parts that contact the hot milk?

Every surface inside the Soyapower is stainless steel with the exception of a small probe which is a level sensor to stop the liquid from contacting any electrical parts. If you measure the amount of water that it calls for, I wouldn't expect it to reach the sensor level during normal operation. I usually strain my hot milks into a Pyrex jug rather than using the plastic one that comes with the appliance. I make almond milk and soy milk in mine and I'm very happy with the results.

No, everything is stainless steel inside, except for a skinny stick which probably is a thermometer.

Not that I know of. However, we only use the unit for cooking and reheating. Page 7 of the Users Manual states "NO" to fast food cartons with metal handles, metal frozen dinner trays, glass jars, metal bake ware and metal twist ties. Hope this answers your question.

There's no aluminum in ours. The element is probably high carbon stainless, because a magnet will attract it but less so than the other parts such as the pan, the brackets on the heating element, etc. So it is all steel of some sort or another. (The parts that contact the food, that is.)

Yes it's like a sandwich of plastic frame securing the fine screen and it does go into the milk for the perhaps thirty seconds of plunging. Picture a lattice window frame to imagine the amount of plastic. I find that frothing the milk cold makes for a creamier experience, so heat never really has to be part of the process. The type of plastic is unknown but I'd like to think they didn't use a kind that leaches any chemicals, especially with no heat exposure.

I would not drink a hot beverage directly from the stainless version. There is a silicone version (http://amzn.com/B00FP6JFNM) that is a much better solution for hot drinks.

Short answer: Yes. Stainless steel is not significantly reactive in the presence of milk solids[1]. You should be able to store warm milk in this thermos. It will stay warm for several hours. Regular cleaning would be necessary, but no more difficult that cleaning milk off of anything else. Hope you have a nice winter season!

Since it's all stainless steel inside and out, I would say YES to this question. The one issue is to be sure and thoroughly clean the rubber lid as this can collect the grungy bacteria that can form with milk products sitting against it for periods of time. The lid is the critical issue that requires good cleaning.

None. I put hot chocolate in it one time and spent hours trying to clean it.

I don't know. My great-nephew drinks milk out of his. I do know that the finish will not survive the dishwasher. His first mug was put in by mistake and never worked again.

If you don't put the frothing piece on it will heat the milk well and with no burning. Mine is still great.

i know it has some plastic on it, there could be some stainless steel, also. a magnetwill not attract to it. i am sorry i cannot be more specific.

I could find no indications as to the type of stainless steel, but the spoons themselves are not magnetic.

I don't know about nonstick surfaces. My thermos is stainless steel. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

You can have either hot milk or cold milk. There's only one button. To get hot milk you simply fill to the max line, plug it in, put the lid on and press the button. It stirs and heats up the milk. If you use the whisk attachment, you'll get more foam. If you use the smaller attachment, you will have much less foam for lattes.

None that is exposed. The bottom has aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. That enables even heat distribution.

I am not sure but if it is it isn't like I know stainless steel to be. Sorry!

I have one that I don't use. I use a glass lid, much nicer to see what's going on. If you want a steel lid, contact me at quentchan@aol.com.
