I bought this but I'm thinking about returning after looking at the inside. I expected stainless steel but it looks like nonstick. Anyone know??

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

It is non-stick inside. I love my teakettle. I have had no issues with it and it cleans well as well aesthetically pleasing.

It's nonstick, not ceramic. We use it a couple of times a week and still love it!

I have it packed as we just moved but as I recall it's not a dark non stick interior I think it's stainless.

The pan is probably not stainless steel. It has a non-stick coating, is lightweight and non-magnetic, so I'm guessing its aluminum.From the owner's manual: "The nonstick coating may wear out with use. "The nonstick coating may eventually discolor or peel off. This will not affect its Cooking or Keep Warm performances or sanitary properties, and is harmless to your health. If concerned with the peeling of the nonstick coating, please replace the Inner Cooking Pan by purchasing a new one."The pan is part number B297, and on the Zojirushi parts site it's currently $28.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

The interior walls of the oven are "a non-stick surface", according to the instruction manual.It is definitely not stainless steel.

No nonstick coating (one reason I bought it), but with a little bit of olive oil rubbed on nothing stuck to it yet. The stainless steel is very heavy grade, this is a really nice pizza pan.

I called the company about the liner because it is nonstick. It is very light weight so I think it is aluminum, but it is coated with nonstick. The lady told me that nonstick is bad for you only if it reaches a certain temperature, that this cooker never reaches. Of course, if the liner chips, I will no longer use it. But I think if you wash it gently, it will be okay for a long time. I got mine at a clearance price at Target and it works well so I decided to keep it. You have to spend a lot of money to get one with a stainless liner.

Its not cheap looking at all. I didnt know there were different types of non stick. The type may be in the products description. Sorry

I ordered this pan thinking it would be non-stick coating on the inside, but when I received it, it was stainless all over with no non-stick coating. It's a great pan, but not non-stick as it claims. .

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

The pan interior is stainless steel. I don't use it but my wife loves it for its even heating properties. When I asked her how easy it was to clean she said it is no problem, the finishing step she uses is a fairly coarse steel wool but it sure does clean up nicely. She cooks with oil and butter.

The interior is not bare stainless steel, it has a gray color coating film on top of stainless steel. However, I don't know what kind of material this coating layer is. You may google if you want to figure it out.

no it's not stainless steel inside and I'm not sure what the coating is.. whatever it is, it feels like soft touch plastic.

The ones I have looked at have stainless steel inside, not non stick. Haven't listed, but several.

It is stainless steel without a coating of any kind. It is very easy to clean. I use mine for stir frying, which means using very little oil; stirring constantly in order to keep the food from sticking.
