Does it come with carbon steel inserts or stainless? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if they even have stainless. I am guessing that Heli-coil and others that use the "spring style" insert use stainless for it's high tinsel strength? I was sold on Time-Serts because the insert was solid and stronger. The time -sert feature of swagging/expanding the insert in the tapped hole with the roll form driver (last step) would need to be a softer more malleable metal than stainless? Also, don't forget about the dissimilar metal corrosion/electrolysis that the stainless will get going between it and the steel bolt. I personally buy Time-Sert products because they are stronger and fool proof to install. I don't know if they even have stainless.

Mine was actually stainless steel. It has blends in it from them removing imperfections and a few dings but it is thick. I didn't measure it but it is thick and it is a big SOB. For the price get it. I have a BK9, Kabar Kukri, and many other big Blades from Cold steel to SOG. If you get one like mine you will be happy unless you expect a Corvette for the price of a Cobalt.

Yes on the one we received it had stainless steel blade and plate. I must say though that we were disappointed with the performance of this mil.. We had one many years ago that worked very well and came with a case. The plunger doesn't come all the way up so there's always a great deal of food left behind

It comes both ways depending on the model you get. Stainless models generally have "ss" in the model number somewhere. I have this unit and it's black. Not a piece of stainless on it anywhere.

they are not stainless steel, a magnet sticks to the metal. Probably chrome plated steel. Easily replaceable with stainless. Otherwise well made.

Dear Joseph, This item has a stainless steel construction finish. I hope you find this information helpful. Melissa -Plow & Hearth Customer Service

It came in a long box with the ends. I had to cut it and the metal was the same all the way through. It was a heavier gauge than a chrome one I also bought. So I would say it was stainless steel all the way through.

As far as I can tell, G5 lists them as stainless and Bass Pro says they're carbon, they're probably an MIM 440 steel, but I'm no expert.

I have the 185 stainless steel and I love it. Easy to use, easy to clean and store. The only issue I had was finding the correct filters for it but I got them from Kalita directly and they are amazing. Hope this helps!

All the internal and external metal is stainless steel. That's the reason we bought this one. Love it too!

if you mean the small rubber inserts .. mine came with them. It has brass fittings vs. plastic which is sturdier and more reliable.

The item I bought was the ceramic so I don't really know about the stainless one. Sorry

I just received mine (serial #8883) and it does have the new steel lock bar insert. This is now the standard build for the knife according to the Zero Tolerance catalog. Lockup is at a perfect 50% with flawless centering and zero blade play.

They are steel! Not sure why you would want Al ones? Mine came with three long inserts.... two middle length inserts.... and only one small. Which was fine by me.

Mine are stainless steel and I crush ice with them every day since I got them. No problems so far. Seem to be as good as the originals.

There is in fact a new Gen 3 that has the stainless lockbar insert. You will have to check with the sellers to see if they are available. House of Blades is a great dealer!

Yes the insert is anodized cast aluminum. No preseasoning necessary to my knowledge. We really love this slow cooker.
