I'm not sure what type of metal it is.... it is not ceramic or glass but some type of metal. It is not non-stick. I'm guessing stainless steel?

No, it's steel. I would assume that it has the heating element wrapped around the pot and then an outer skin that goes over that, not 100% sure as to what this outer skin is made of. Very high quality melter though..

The bottom inside plate is metal, and everything else is plastic. Great little boiler pot!

The inside is a separate black pot that heats up and you can lift up from the outer pot. I have no idea the composition of the black pot, but it is very sturdy.

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.

not sure the material. however the reason i bought another is you can't put in dishwasher or it will crack. hand wash only, so I don't think it will handle boiling water

It is plastic but the Nordicware website apparently says it is the BPA free type good plastic. Also it does not heat up a lot even with over 5 minutes of continuous microwaving. Quite safe to handle even when relatively hot since the handle part does not heat up too much (it is a really good plastic since it conducts heat poorly so the entire pot is not hot even though the rice inside is steaming!) I hope that answers your question in relation to the consequences of the material.

My guess, it's a rubberized silicon blend of some sort. It stays cool, grips well and makes hanging on to a hot pot easy. The more I use this pot the better I like it. Use it every day. Heat water for tea and coffee.

The inside is plastic, and the bottom is metal. It heats water really fast. I love this kettle.

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.

stainless Steel, you put hot tap water in it for about 5 minutes to warm the steel then brew into it. excellent pot actually.

The pot cover and the inner pot are stainless steel--although thin, the steel is good enough for its purposes. There is no inner cover and the rest of the cooker is made of aluminum.

pot is non-stick. ceramic, no teflon. inside inner lid looks like stainless, no coating.

The inner pot comes with it is stainless steel. That's the whole point of buying stainless steel rice cooker.

Stainless steel. With about a tablespoon and a half of oil (split across eight servings of stew or roast that's--22 calories?) I've sauted tons of onions, carrots, pork chops, chicken thighs, and ground beef for chili in this pot with superior results, and it still looks almost brand new. I also like it for boiling spaghetti. For eggs, pancakes, or pan-frying potatoes, I recommend Calphalon Unison Slide skillets and omelet pans--perhaps two or three in different sizes--if you need non-stick. Way worth the price, the slippery surface seems to last much longer than other brands. I find ceramic nonstick lasts about a year or less before the slip quality degrades. I wouldn't recommend those Calphalon skillets to do the kind of job this Cuisinart pan does, any more than I'd recommend a chef's knife when a serrated bread knife is the right choice. Good luck, Scott!

The removable pot appears to be made of aluminum covered with teflon. It sits in a heavy metal (perhaps cast iron) casing around which is wrapped the brushed aluminum exterior that's visible in the picture. Appears to be solid construction.

Well the entire pot is made of steel, but the inside is coated with the same ceramic as the outside with different colors. Mine is the black one with a solid black colored ceramic coating on the inside. Also, I've had mine for three years now and I haven't had any issues with rust nor do I expect to have any.
