What material is the inner pot?

The inner pot is not very sturdy and easily scratched. I gave my EZ Bean Cooker to one of my children and bought the SECURA for a little bit more. You can brown, steam, use as a slow cooker, etc. Much more versatile than the Bean Cooker. Has a heavy stainless pot, VERY sturdy. There are recipes all over the internet where you can learn how much time to give the beans, roasts, veggies, etc. you want to cook in your "electric" pressure cooker (which is what the EZ Bean Cooker is).

I'm not sure of the inner pot, but aluminum sounds like a good guess. It is coated with a non-stick material which is similar to what the more quality pots and pans are coated with, like Circulon, etc. I don't think it's Teflon unless they've re-worked their formula. I like it very much; doesn't scratch or peel off.

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.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

It's made of both. You have to be very careful putting it together as it's easy to bend the metal frame. Also, it won't hold really heavy pots, I use mine for herbs or for starter plants.

From Zojirushi:All of our rice cooker inner pans are made of aluminum with nonstick coating (PTFE), except the Induction Heating models.The Induction heating models contain a two layer inner pan. The inner layer is made of aluminum with nonstick coating (PTFE) and the outer layer is stainless steel.All of the inner pans are coated with the nonstick coating.Please note that we do not manufacture 100% stainless steel inner pans.

No the inner lining including the bottom, is all one piece and made of aluminum. It does not bother me. I do not see how that affects the food in the inner pot.It does get dirty and stained easily which I keep clean by adding some vinegar to the water inside every now and then.

As is noted below the reservoir and lid are mostly plastic, the interior of the pot appears to me to be stainless steel. I have had very good results with this unit. I rinse it with clean cold water after each use and occasionally clean it with hot soapy water and small long handled brush, give it a good rinse and let it air dry. I never once have had bitter coffee, and also would recommend it to anyone.

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.

The aluminum core is in an induction-capable stainless steel disk bonded to the bottom of the pot. The pot itself is stainless steel with no nonstick coating inside.

The pot is a very lightweight material, perhaps a plastic variant. But the finishing and detail resemble a nice stone ware pot. I bought 3 pots and am very happy with them.

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.

I had another perc that was stovetop and the inside was shinier. I can't really say what the inside is. I do love this pot. It has never let me down and tastes like the old stovetop one.

The interior is glass. This is a very nice pot. I bought one of them to keep coffee hot and fresh and was very pleased that it kept it hot for the entire day. I liked it so well that I bought another one for hot water for making tea.

Titanium-Coated Extra-Thick (5mm) Non-Stick Inner Pot with Round Bottom for Maximum Heat Distribution and Optimal Cooking!!!! I still love and used frequently this little gem. No pbs cleaning it quickly by hands or with a sponge. Hope this helps.

I would think that the interior material is plastic. The top & sides are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

Yes the inner pot is stainless. I always put about a tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of it as I plug it in while I measure the rice and water. This makes it less stuck to the bottom. also, I follow the previous advice of unplugging it as soon as it is cooked.
