Is it stainless steel? Does the black come off?

No. Magnets stick it, so its probably not stainless steel. Ive had mine for a month or 2, use it a few times each week to eat lunch at work. none of the black has not rubbed off and i havent seen and scrapes/scratches yet.

No, they are not removable. don't try to clean the black iron part. get it hot and the batter will flake off. then wipe with towel. as for the stainless part, it doesn't get hot, but I pre coat it with oil before cooking to keep batter from sticking. hope this helps

As far as I know its stainless, I've never had any "coating" come off on mine.

So far for me: yes. I have a regular stainless steel version that has some rust and the black coated ones do not. However, black oil comes off on your hands the first several uses (a layer of the coating maybe?). I washed them thoroughly under a sink with dish soap and since then they have been great (no more black residue on hands) and no rust.

It feels like steel to me and it's black...I love mine...I always line it with tin foil though just for easy cleanup...Sara...

No, it is stainless however and very easy to clean. This is a good quality stainless, not a cheapie.

No it's black I also thought it was stainless for my stainless 10/22. It looks nice with it on so I kept it. I'm Very Happy with it

Ours is black with a stainless steel top as shown, but the whole toaster is not stainless. We have a stainless steel kitchen and the black with the stainless top looks very good on our stainless counters and with our stainless appliances.

No it is just stainless steel. I got it because I didn't want the toxic Teflon coating. So it can be difficult to clean. Just soak it.

The unit we received is black all over. If there's any stainless steel on ours, it's hiding.

Not sure if it's stainless steel or what but it coated/painted black. It's smooth and not heavy at all. I love mine and it's working great so far.

Mine was black as well. If I needed to use a stainless steel one I believe it would match my existing faucet. Providing it's not brushed nickel.

It is basically stainless--the little circle of plastic/rubber/whatever is hardly worth mentioning. I love mine and am so glad I chose to get this one over all the others. It is really, really nice and of good quality and has a sleek design which makes it easier to clean. It heats up quickly and the dial/level lights up in blue which is actually quite helpful. I am more than totally satisfied with it.

There is no black strip down to the tip. It is all stainless steel and put together with what I perceive as spot weld. No plastic on the tip as well. It is very well made. The rim is hard plastic but the poured over water never rises to that level.

It has a black coating on it. When I use it I always put a piece of foil on it for easy clean up.

It is stainless inside. I was disappointed that it wasn't black coated. I really like the latter ones so well.Apparently, they are no longer offered. If and when they ever are, I will buy several.

It appears to be black....possibly enamel or non stick. I have used mine daily without any difficulties and cannot imagine it rusting easily.
