Is this pressure cooker solid stainless?

I've been happily using all aluminum pressure cookers since I first bought one in college in the 80's. No problems. However, they will warp over time, whereas the stainless ones won't.

Please do not buy this, it is not stainless steel, read my review, I also wanted this for a pressure cooker. The metal type says " silver tone" its a cheap $1. Store type product. Its also very tiny.

No, it is not stainless steel, it is a plastic housing that is painted a metallic grey. Looks fine and works great for me, I am very happy with it.

Its 'says'/claims to be completely stainless steel; its the reason I bought this one. I am Sensitive to Nickel/aluminum and haven't had ANY issues with this cute pot. Hope this helps.

It appears to me that it is 100% stainless. I had one that had a casted plunger (and it broke) and this is not that type. I really like the larger bore needle. It allows you to inject solids into meat

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.

I do not know if they are "solid Stainless", but they have not rusted, they do work great, and they are vastly superior to the stock grates that came with the grill.

No, it is not stainless steel. However, I hav used it many times and it has held up nicely.

It is stainless steel. Not the heavy type but good enough for its purpose. I cook brown rice in it everyday--no problem. Just add a few more tablespoons of water; leave it alone for some minutes when the red light turns off; stir it (the rice at the bottom is usually soggy) and it should be fine after a few more minutes. After using it for sometime you'll be able to make adjustments to your cooking and enjoy the cooker.

It is not shinny silver nor stainless steel. Best described: metallic medium grayish color. Benn using mine and Tiger brand rice cooker is one of the best brand to have. Make sure it is made in Djapan and not China. Mine is made in Japan. Good luck!

Not sure if its stainless steel. Pressing handle is not steady at all. The roti came out uneven and never puffed up. So I ended up returning it.Hope this helps!

Yes, stainless. We LOVE this thing. It's the best thing that's ever happened to rice in this house.

It is not stainless...it is non-stick. It really works with rice because it doesn't stick and is easy to clean.

Yes, everything including the basket & stem is stainless. It's a really nice pot, you can't go wrong here!

As JAYMIS indicates the induction logo is on the bottom. I can confirm that the base of the pressure cooker is ferromagnetic. This is a very good example of a pressure cooker. Ive owned several.

It appears to be. I have used mine several times and still apprears "stainless". Does anyone know how to use it as a "slow cooker"?

Yes. It's not the same heavy gauge as the pot, but it's tight fitting which is the important part. "Stainless" is sort of a misnomer. It might be very resilient to rust and non-reactive with almost all foods, but heat and time will make all metals susceptible to blemishes and "stains".
