It's not listed on the page with the BPA items on Consultant's Corner, but I was just wondering if anyone knew....I already e-mailed HO and am waiting for a response.

Thanks!
 
Yes. I wrote to HO and asked if ANY of the new products contain BPA and was told that none do.

Thank you!
 
When you use the BBQ Roasting Pan & Can Holder, you have to use a can. Most cans contain BPA's. Then you heat the can up on the grill. Guess what happens next? I won't be using the can holder and a can for cooking anything!

Me either. I don't buy cans of anything, except for a few items that I know are in cans that are BPA free. (one brand of canned beans, one brand of coconut milk, and one brand of tuna)

Are those cans the same size as the holder? Could those be washed out and then used?

I didn't think beer cans that are used in the can holder are lined ??
 
My husband's leery of using cans in the can holder too but not because of BPA. He's leery of the aluminum.
In any case, if you're leery of either material, you can do why my husband did and find a small enough glass jar that fits.
