It is advertised as stainless steel, and it certainly is not. It is some light weight material, I would guess aluminum by its weight, except that it has a very badly applied chrome-colored finish, and I see no reason why anyone would bother to add such a cheap exterior coating to aluminum. And when I say badly applied, I mean the surface is irregular, with bumps and bubbles, etc. Nothing about it speaks of any quality whatsoever. Moreover, I would not have purchased it if I had known that it was not stainless steel, which, please note, ir is clearly stated to be in the listing.
Since it would cost more to return it than it's worth, I'm stuck with this bogus product. That being the case, as it will have no direct contact with food, I will try it, though I don't expect it to last long; my guess is once the cheap paint peels it will let water in, and it will quickly rust.
Now that I have it in hand, neither the box, nor the product itself, claims it is stainless steel, so this deception is on the seller for misrepresenting the product in the listing.
I purchase quite a bit from Amazon, for the most part with good results, but I wish Amazon would do more to ensure that sellers post accurate information when listing items for sale.

I ordered two of these and used them for the first time. Unfortunately, I used good stainless steel pots with these. The finish came off and became "stains" on the pots. The "stains" are very hard to remove. Other than that, they are convenient and functional.TIP: Use pots you don't care about for use with these exclusively [at least for the larger pot that will hold the water so the finish doesn't ruin the inside]--or purchase some cheap junk pots to use with this. This is what I should have done from the beginning and will do from now on.

I just finished using it for the first time. It worked perfectly. For about five bucks, I turned two pots I already owned into the double boiler I needed. And being about the size of a roll of duct tape, it saves me a lot of room in my tiny kitchen. It is very sturdy. I bet you could run over it with a car and it would still retain its shape.You put the device in the bottom pot, which is full of water. Then you place the smaller pot with the food to be cooked on top of this device.
