Is the lining of the pot Teflon or Teflon like, or is it something safe like stainless steel?

I am not sure if it is Teflon or not, but I can tell you I have not had anything stick to it. I love this bean cooker. I use it all the time. I even bought my son one and he and his wife use theirs for making soup as well. The operation is very quiet and quick.

The inner cooking pot is a super-reinforced aluminum alloy with a non-stick coating.

No, It's hard anodized. You can only use stainless steel. It's a very nice pot if you have a regular stove.

No, it's stainless steel. There is no coating that can scrap off or flake off. Mine hasn't pitted either. I have a whole set of this cookware. It amazes me how easy it is to clean. I'm very happy with this pot.

It may not be "Teflon" brand, but it is the same (or similar) stuff. I really wish this company made a stainless steel version of this pot. I LOVE the pot, but don't like the non-stick crud slowly flaking into my food....

Yes. It is metal. I would not use it on Teflon or other non-stick surfaces. I do my mixing in a pyrex bowl or measuring cup and then adding the ingredients to the pan.

The question regarding stainless steel construction is difficult to determine as there is no mention of it. I use my pot for boiling eggs.

It's teflon, and ours has shown significant peeling in only a couple years. That surprised us (and is hopefully not rypical), as did the cost of a replacement pot!

No - that was why I wanted it! I don't like the teflon wearing off the pan and getting in to the food we serve. It's all stainless steel.

It is Teflon coated. I might add very, very poor quality Teflon. After only two times using it the Teflon started peeling off where the rivets hold the handles. Don't waste your money buying this crock pot.

The inner pot is not stainless steel. I don't know the name of the material but its not Teflon. It's what you see in most of the other rice cookers in the lower price range.

There isn't a lining. The interior is tye same plastic as the exterior and the heating element is exposed and submerged when filled with water. The element looks to be stainless steel.

Mine is Stainless Steel. If you have metal flakes they can be accidentally coming from outside sources. All Pots and Pans require to be washed with soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly before use. That's a rule of thumb. (The metal flakes can also come from the electronic parts during the assembly.) It's your job to clean the pot before use, thereafter there should be no metal flakes. There's a real simple way to determine whether SS or Chrome, so you never have to ask again Take a magnet from your frig note holder (any magnet) if it doesn't stick its excellent Stainless. Which is called food Stainless and doesn't rust. Cheaper Stainless has less Zinc and can hold a light magnet. Usually found in outside BBQ's they sell as Stainless but is crap Stainless and will ultimately rust (usually spotted rust marks). Zink is very very expensive, so only the best Stainless contains the right amount of Zinc. If a magnet sticks like glue, then its metal, or chromed metal. Keep that in mind. (There various types of Stainless, only Food Stainless is of the highest grade.) Non Food such as an Outside Bar-B-Q is usually junk Stainless, You have to buy a Weber to get better Stainless, of course the price is higher, but will last you a lifetime. Stainless isn't Stainless on average items, and magnet test will help identify the quality.

The instructions did not specify so I use the stainless steel I already had. Word of caution, the pots are beautiful, that is one of the two reasons I purchased them, if you fry, they won't remain that way on the inside, just accept it.

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

The bottom of the oven is stainless steel. The sides don't appear to be Teflon. They feel more like an enamel. I have had no fumes at all and have used the boiler many times at the highest setting.

It's aluminum. As long as you don't put it in the dishwasher, it will stay nice and shiny. I use mine in several different stainless steel and teflon pots. The bottom is smooth so it doesn't scratch the teflon. I think it's better than the original one that came with my Presto. It's just about size and what pot or pan you are trying to fit it in. I thought it was perfect for many uses.
