Are the exterior and the interior of this rice cooker made of stainless steel? Is the exterior made of plastic or stainless steel?

Inside where pot goes is coated metal. Pot itself coated nonstick steel, similar to enamel but not quite. Scratch resistant. But use plastic rice scooper, no metal forks etc. Outside and inside of pot are same. Exterior of unit itself is plastic with metallic glint under glossy outer coat.

Top lid is made of plastic. Under the top lid which cover the pan is made of aluminum. This is a pricy rice cooker, but so far I like it . I have tried steel cut oatmeal and bread baking, got a good result. Inner pan is heavy duty very thick and heavy.

The exterior is stainless steel. I'm not sure if the interior is stainless because I didn't pay attention. I'll check it up tonight.

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).

Made in Japan. We have had several others and it is by far the best rice cooker we have used every time.....

The bowl that you put the rice into is stainless steel. The outside white shell is metal. Not that happy with the performance, as it does not cut out early enough, and therefore the rice gets to hot and dry and sticks hard to the bowl. I have to keep an eye out to switch it off, so now it really is no different than using a pot on the stove. I don't know what brand or type would work better. If you ever find one, let me know.

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

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.

The rice cooker does not identify the specific surface for the actual rice pot or for the interior of the cooker. However, the actual rice pot is easy-clean (teflon?) and the interior of the cooker (though it never seems to need cleaning) is equally easy-clean. No mention of teflon nor stainless steel on the product.

The stainless steel is just the exterior of the cooker. The part that touches your food is currently a glazed stoneware. They anticipate coming out with an unglazed model by the end of the year. Nothing aluminum touches the food.

The inner pot is not stainless steel. I don't know the name of the material but its not Teflon. It's what you see in most of the other rice cookers in the lower price range.

It has a non-stick coating on the interior and exterior of the removable cooking bowl. Given the lightness of it, I would say it is aluminum, but your rice won't make contact with the aluminum unless the non-stick comes off.

Mine came with a little plastic cup and there are little notches on the inside of the cooker but since measurements can vary by rice, I just measure like I would in a regular pot which is 2-1 water to rice for white and a quarter cup extra water for brown (2 1/4 water to 1 cup brown)

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.

The exterior is plastic. However, the inside is metal and I've had no issues with the plastic melting.

Yes, the rice cooker is made in Japan. In fact , it is advertised on Japan TV as being one of the best.

It is not really heavy stainless, but I've been using it for a few months now and its doing fine. One of the only rice cookers without the nasty "non-stick" coating.
