what is the cooker's lining made of?

Stainless steel. The entire exposed surface both inside and out are stainless steel. There is an aluminum disc sealed inside the base area, sandwiched between stainless layers. The aluminum helps distribute heat evenly and helps maintain a more constant heat level.

It is Teflon coated. This is also a lower pressure cooker. I only had mine for about 6 months when the control panel sticker curled up and fell off. The wanted me to send back the whole cooker for repair but i haven't yet. I'm not sure if I want to invest more money for this unit. I thought it seemed like a good unit but I was so disappointed that it became unable for me to use it so soon. Now I have no idea what each button is for without the label on the control panel.

The cooker itself is all stainless. One of the inserts could be aluminum. No non-stick surfaces.

I think its stainless? either way its an awesome product. My main inteest in buying it was to make brown rice I can cook white rice successfully but my brown was a mess. However, since buying this cooker my brown rice is now awesome! It can also cook rice with multiple ingredients and the rice still comes out awesome! i love it.

It is plastic. As you can see, most of the electric kettle's lids are made of special plastic that is okay for high temperature.

I believe it's lined with tin, the chrome is on the outside. My tea kettle was handmade in England, that's why I bought it in the first place. Same as with my French made Cuisinart cookware. IMO, once a product gets shipped out to China, Korea and points beyond, it's no longer the same quality.

They seem to be made of stainless steel, with a baked enamel coating. I spray them when I use them. I use them for crumpets and English Muffins, and they are terrific.

Inner lining is stainless steel. Check out Eccl Vessel as well that is also stainless steel inside.

I don't know that it is necessarily lined, but it keeps food really cold somehow -- we usually use our two Zojis for cold foods, and they are amazing! I wonder if the inside is "treated" with something that is an insulator...

I would not call the lining plastic. The inside of the bag has the same fabric as the outside with the exception of the bottom, but you have to put a cloth on the bottom of the bag before you place the pot inside. The underside of the cushion "lid" is also a solid blue fabric, different than the patterned fabric of the rest of the item, but I don't detect any plastic. I have used this many times now (more than when I first reviewed the product) and have placed steaming hot pots inside the bag an have not smelled any odor of plastic or anything. I have always, however, followed the direction of placing a dishtowel in the bottom of the Wonderbag before putting a hot pot inside.

Looks like some high density plastic material and the fact that they are not openly providing that info kinda scares me......if they are not BPA free and it cooks at high temps, that stuff leaches...............

Hello, This is directly out of the manual under components and features. "Made of high-quality, heavy-gauge, stainless steel, all cooking takes place in the pressure cooker pot." and on the bottom of the pot is says INOX-stainless steel. Hope this helps.

It is made of Aluminum and is 6 5/8" in diameter. It will fit in a larger cooker and it's purpose is to keep the pan off the bottom and maintain a level of water needed for steam

It is a Teflon type material. I used it once and it was very easy to clean.

I am interested in the answer to this as well. I teach cooking and use stainless and titanium cookware...have been considering this rice cooker, but not without more info on the metal used in the pot.
