Is the lid's inner surface coated with enamel also? Bare aluminum leaches into hot water droplets collecting on the lid or when food touches the lid?

The lid is made of aluminized steel and has excellent corrosion resistance. The top of the lid is coated with enamel and the underside is not.

Aluminum core bottom, clad in stainless steel. Not used for induction glass cooktops. See item description. No aluminum touches food.

Yes there is plastic in the lid. If you keep the water level below max the boiling water wont touch the top. I'll only come in contact when pouring.

No - metal on inside is not coated with enamel.looks great though! have to admit I never used it as now living with induction cooktop and this is not for induction heat.

No the inner lining including the bottom, is all one piece and made of aluminum. It does not bother me. I do not see how that affects the food in the inner pot. It does get dirty and stained easily which I keep clean by adding some vinegar to the water inside every now and then.

It's not coated. I have an assortment of lids including glass with no problems. I even overload it sometimes. Very pleased with item each time I reach for a lid I stil purr,

It has a plastic lid with filter, but not recommended to leave it on while cooking. It'll melt.

It has a glass lid with some sort of gasket on it to ensure a proper seal while the food is cooking. That way the heat does not escape. Not sure what it is made of.

Yes, it has an inner layer of stainless steel that the food comes in contact with, the aluminum later (which is completely enclosed in stainless steel, so your food and kitchen surfaces never come into contact with the aluminum) and the bottom layer of stainless steel which comes in contact with the cooking surface.

The material is enamel, not Teflon. It has nonstick properties when the pan is used as designed, but is not inherently nonstick like Teflon. The pan is cast iron under the enamel - no aluminum anywhere.

The inside is coated black. Looks porcelain enamel. Really doubt it would rust. I use everyday. We do NOT have hard water. Also I like the fact the handle is stationary and does not flop side to side. My set of pots and pans is the red porcelain speckled with black.

I have this pot but haven't cooked in it yet. As far as I can tell, this is stainless steel throughout. Doesn't seem as though any other metal would be touching your food.

Not inside the pot or on the lid. Everything that touches food is 100% stainless steel. The exterior cladding on the bottom of the pan could be aluminum, but it's difficult to tell. The pan is really a good pan and well built, with a good quality stainless steel.

All surfaces that touch food are stainless. There is an aluminum disk bonded to the bottom that provides even heating, but it is isolated from the cooking surfaces. I retired an older Mirro cooker due to the same concern about using aluminum.

NO! The color flakes off. If there is no color or coating of any kind then yes it is. The lid does great and so does the inside. Hope that helps.

It is enamel on the top only. Underneath will rust. Meant to be used under pots on gas stoves. I use it on my gas stove to simmer things only. It heats up evenly and distributes the heat to the pot so things do not burn or get hot spots from the gas. I could not live with out it. I use a stainless steel steaming rack for steaming.
