The company usually produces good quality of rice cookers. However, the one I got wasn't cooking rice well. It was too much trouble to send it back.

I ordered the stainless steel pot for high acid content food. I have read that the non-stick coating will degrade if used with tomato sauce, etc. I found the identical pot in stainless steel by searching "Elite Stainless Steel Cooking Pot for 8qt Pressure Cookers". It was not offered on Amazon but was available through another popular shopping outlet. I received it and it is identical to the pot that comes with the cooker, just all stainless (the bottom is bonded to aluminum I think).

This cooker uses the same design and construction that all Japanese rice cookers have had for decades. All direct heat contact parts are metal. I have one from 2004, use it several times / week, same approach, zero problems.

Yes the inner pot is stainless. I always put about a tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of it as I plug it in while I measure the rice and water. This makes it less stuck to the bottom. also, I follow the previous advice of unplugging it as soon as it is cooked.

It is stainless on the inside, which is nice. What we've found, however, is that rice residue will stick to this so a nylon scratcher is advised when cleaning. We also rub a little olive oil around inside to help it not stick.

I own this Sanyo rice cooker ECS-F50F but coating of inner pot wore out and I need new one but there is no new replacement available so I cannot use this rice cooker anymore. If I am not mistaken Sanyo merged with Panasonic company.

From Zojirushi:All of our rice cooker inner pans are made of aluminum with nonstick coating (PTFE), except the Induction Heating models.The Induction heating models contain a two layer inner pan. The inner layer is made of aluminum with nonstick coating (PTFE) and the outer layer is stainless steel.All of the inner pans are coated with the nonstick coating.Please note that we do not manufacture 100% stainless steel inner pans.

I have a very old Tatung rice cook 10 cups for many years from the original company.. It's still working great. but not stainless steel. So I decided to buy a stainless steel one. I order from amazon, a very cheap look like stainless steel which I have never seen such kind of stainless steel. So called stainless steel should have standard number. I learn the original company was sold to other company some time ago. I don't trust the new one , so I never used the new one just like you bought. I still use the old, original one which is more than 20 years old, because the inside pot is real stainless steel.i I have a very old Tatung rice cook 10 cups for many years from the original company..

I don't know the quality of the steel, but these units fall apart. After scrapping three, I now use a stainless steel colander to steam veggies.

The cooking pot is teflon coated aluminum. This cooker works really well. It produces great rice. and allows one to focus on things other than the rice.

I think Panasonic SR-42HZP 23-cup (Uncooked) Commercial Rice Cooker, "NSF" Approved, Stainless Steel Lid does not have a Teflon coating inside.and that Panasonic SR42FZ 23-Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer does.

Generally speaking, aluminum is more light weight and better thermal conductance than stainless.Asian woman is not big enough to handle a big stainless cooker with single hand.I see that most of stainless pressure cooker used in Japan is double hand and no single hand cooker.But stainless is more tough than aluminum and could be OK with electrical kitchen system....

Yes! Excellent product and the best stainless steel one on the market! And no I do not work for Lotus Rice - but they are quality !

Everything the eye sees is stainless steel. If there is a layer of aluminum for heat conductivity, it must be inside (sandwich layer).Healthy cooking was the reason why I bought this pressure cooker and I couldn't be happier. I love having the 2 sizes. Don't hesitate, this is a good product!

I just called the Tatung company and asked the same question. The inside of this cooker (including accessories) is also stainless, the material is SUS304(18/8) . This message has been announced on the web:http://tcpc.tatung.com/Message/Details/77 (written in Chinese).
