Is the pot aluminum or stainless steel

Mine is stainless steel, however there are two versions. One is the stainless steel and the other is black.

I believe it is aluminum but not sure. I have had no problems with mine and use it a lot.

Not sure, because it is coated. Interior has non-stick surface. From the weight of it I'd guess aluminum. You might try to contact West Bend directly.

This is the most amazing crock type cooker you will ever need. I have 2 smaller ones. Found this and I am extremely happy with it. I cook a lot and slow but fast cooking and keeps warm after done. It is a coated stainless the best I can tell because it is heavy. I have had zero complaints on these cookers. For me the only one I would buy over and over

It is aluminum or possibly some other lightweight steel. It's not very heavy.

Hello Hazelnut, good evening. I would hazard a guess that it is probably stainless because the pot was probably contoured using a mold where the sheet of stainless was placed and a ram pushed it creating the pot. Making it out of 2 metals would be far more laborious and therefore costly and why my guess is that its all stainless.

I'm pretty sure it's stainless, but the manufacturers website would probably give you the best answer. It doesn't feel like aluminum.

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.

I have had both. After having an aluminum one for years, I splurged and bought the stainless steel and was so disappointed in the performance that I bought a new aluminum one. I have had it for 10 years and am very pleased with it.

It's stainless steel, you can't go wrong. We let the entire pot get black with coffee stain (lazy); came back beautiful with an SOS pad and some elbow grease...elbows ain't what they used to be. Hope this helped.

I believe it is a heavy plastic, matte finish. Nicer than typical plastic pots.

Stainless steel. I will say that the main pot cracked neat the handle. Beware.

The inner pot is too light weight to be stainless steel. It may be aluminum that has a special coating on it. The upper tray I believe is uncoated aluminum.

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 is aluminum. We have had our pans a year and the only down side is that the bottom is discolored. They are truly non-stick and come clean with warm water.

It's plastic! I was not happy with it all! I ended up getting one where the pot is stainless steel & am much happier!

I believe it is stainless steel, then a layer of aluminum, then another layer of stainless steel. It is one of my favorite gifts to give to my friends who enjoy cooking. It will last forever, shows beautifully when served from, and comes out sparkling from the dishwasher! Enjoy it!!

I believe it is aluminum. If you put it in the dishwasher it has discoloration. I have had mine for many years. I don't care how it looks. It functions better than the other ones I have bought. I bought this one for my son for Christmas. The one he had at his house left all the garlic in the press. I highly recommend this one. It really lets you get all the garlic into your recipe.

It is stainless steel, NOT aluminum. A beautiful pan- a magnet does not stick

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.

The pot is 18/8 stainless steel. Not flimsy, very sturdy and cleans up nicely.
