Contact Jeanne Beck at beckwriter@aol.com if you are interested in purchasing a stainless steel full-size bullet steamer. It does not have an inner core but it does work. I bought it used and have used it only once. Cost: $150. They sell for about $1100 new now. Would be ideal for a fiber arts program at a college or university or for a production silk painter.
