Are These Products BPA Free? Inquiry Sent To Solution Center

[Sheila]

Anyone know if these are BPA free? A customer asked. I sent an e-mail inquiry to the solution center and am waiting on a reply, but thought I'd ask & see if anyone already knows the answer.

Thanks!

I did a search for "BPA" before posting and nothing popped up.

I searched for "Micro Cooker Plastic"

and over 12 pages of posts came up - but I bumped up the ones that discussed the how safe or not safe the micro cooker is, click "new posts" and you'll see what i bumped up

The Solution Center still has not answered my e-mail, but I found info on Consultant's Corner that says Micro Cookers do NOT have BPA.

For anyone else who might be interested in the answer, here's what they said:
