You can. There are precautions you can take to "condition" or oxidize your pot beforehand in order to prevent scorching and potential off-flavors, but it is not even required. The process is VERY easy and no reason why you shouldn't use the aluminum pot and no reason not to condition the pot beforehand.

There isn't any plastic except for the little knobby handle on the lid, and of course, the pot's handle. The only thing I see that MIGHT be aluminum is the little halfround well that the "pipe" sits in.

It's definitely aluminum. It's very light, but make sure you use a light layer of cooking spray, and keep it at a higher temperature or they will stick. :)

I know the new answer is stainless. But I have used aluminum all my life and never had any problems. I know when I need another pan it will be aluminum.Lighter heats faster, cooks more uniformly. Aluminum would always be my choice.

I have every reason to believe it is stainless steel. No marking on it to back me up, but the weight of it compared to the weight of aluminum has me convinced it is stainless steel! I still love this coffe pot! I sold my electric one at the garage sale a few months ago!

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.

It doesn't seem to be stainless to me - has a flat finish. Could be aluminum but it seems a bit heavy. Could also be some type of alloy but I'm not sure. It does have the heat transfer properties of aluminum.

My pot IS rusted. I'm very disappointed because I wanted to get away from aluminum and the steel ended up rusting on the inside. It makes me believe it is not stainless steel.

Yes it is Stainless, but it does not keep anything hot. I have only used it once to pour hot coffee into it, then I shut off the coffee maker. It does not hold heat at all, coffee was totally cold in about an hours. I have no idea why you would want to utilize this pot, unless of course you are a breaker of glass carafes. Not worth the money at all. Also, on the box it specifically states there is no warranty at all.

Stainless steel...there is no aluminum on this product. You will love it. I do.

With the exception of the wooden handle, the entire pot is stainless steel. I would never cook in aluminum - I don't even use aluminum foil.

im not sure of the grade, I can say it is higher than 308 stainless. its thickness is .020 or the same as 6 sheets of paper. , but is extremely resistant to bending. i have boiled water in mine over coals ( not open flame) many times. the bottom warped slightly , but no more than any pot of similar material and not enough to hinder the lid closing properly. i use mine as a wilderness kit and have been very pleased with it. slightly heavier than an aluminum but lasts much longer. hope this helped. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

It's all stainless steel, no aluminum. The outside bottom of the pan has a thick layer of stainless steel to prevent food from burning.

I do not know for sure but I would bet it is.The stainless steel is of very very high quality, I have used this pot many times it cooks and cleans up beautiful.The stainless is durable and it does not rust. the pot is not flimsy. I would say buy it you will not be sorry.

The pot is stainless in the outside, Teflon coating on the inside. I like the Teflon, as nothing sticks. I've had another style by Wedt Bend and loved it for years, but finally replaced with this one and really like it!

It isn't stamped "stainless steel", but it definitely is. I have occasionally forgotten for several hours to empty the water from the pot below, and the residual moisture would have long ago started to rust regular steel.

The pot itself is stainless steel. I just cook with that. You may be talking about an aluminum insert, but I don't use an insert. There is aluminum in the bottom of the pot for even heat distribution but the food cannot contact that aluminum because it is covered by stainless steel.
