Is the clear lid cover on this cooker made out of glass, or plastic(plexiglass)? According to several reviews on the "HSN" website, the clear lid cover on this cooker is made of plastic, or plexiglass, and not glass. Can anyone confirm this? - Thanks

Sorry, I made a mistake. On closer inspection, the cover looks like glass, but in reality it is hard plastic, possibly thick plexiglass.

It is plastic. I've seasoned my Dutch oven twice since getting it, and the lid has had no problems at 500 degrees for 4 hours. I however wouldn't use it with coals or a camp fire. But it's the best if you're looking for a stove and oven Dutch oven.

It is plastic but the Nordicware website apparently says it is the BPA free type good plastic. Also it does not heat up a lot even with over 5 minutes of continuous microwaving. Quite safe to handle even when relatively hot since the handle part does not heat up too much (it is a really good plastic since it conducts heat poorly so the entire pot is not hot even though the rice inside is steaming!) I hope that answers your question in relation to the consequences of the material.

It's clear plastic with embedded netting. It's this top plastic that gets brittle from the sun over time. I still have mine and it's going on 4 years now. I leave it set up year round. On real cold nights I cover the whole greenhouse with large tarps. The tarps cover any holes and/or gaps and keep the heat in from a small space heater. During the day I pull the tarps back with attached ropes. Hope this helps, good luck.

The cover/lid is metal. The product appears to be entirely made of metal. I don't use it; my wife does and she really likes it.

The cooker is sewn together, the cover does not come off separately. Did you mean cooker? I haven't seen it priced without the pans, etc...you could look for a used one, but I doubt the price changes much. I have found this to be well worth the cost.

Hmm... Interesting that some have a glass lid. Mine is stainless steel. I ordered it October 2014.

Hi, Anoush,The lid is plastic covered with stainless steel. The part that seals the lid against the pot is plastic, domed top is stainless. This is my first electric kettle and I really like it. Hope it works for you, too.Cheers,Carol

Completely. What isn't glass (most of the lid) is stainless steel. The only plastic are the handles on the lid, steamer insert, and the chassis - and they're secured to outside surfaces with stainless steel screws. The lid is rimmed in stainless steel, and the pot and steamer insert (if included) are of 100% good quality stainless steel. (I own the 14 cup model and I cook a pound at a time of brown rice in it - I love it!)

I find it high quality stainless steel, no rust for me, oxidation with stainless is unheard of, what have you cooked or done with your cooker?

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...

it is plastic but its a really good egg cooker. the plastic is a little flimsy but I cant ever think of a time when someone would fill it up with eggs and walk across the room. I usually fill and empty the rack while it's in the cooker. I have recommended this to several of my friends and family and they all love it. the buzzer with the automatic shutoff is a really great feature and I haven't cooked an egg in it that wasn't perfect. hope this is helpful.

"premium quality, mirror-polished stainless steel"NO, it is not teflon-coated and with the high pressure-cooker temps while cooking, it is probably best NOT to have teflon inside as it may peel, especiallyif it is not a high-quality cooker, such as Mirro and some of the others.I have had mine for some years now and when the rubber gasket stopped working because it was stretched and so used, they sent me another FREE.I didn't expect that. I did not have to pay shipping either. Maybe it was because I told them how much I loved the pressure cooker and how long it had lasted me ;-) "premium quality, mirror-polished stainless steel"NO, it is not teflon-coated and with the high pressure-cooker temps while cooking, it is probably best NOT to have teflon inside as it may peel, especiallyif it is not a high-quality cooker, such as Mirro and some of the others.I have had mine for some years now and when the rubber gasket stopped working because it was stretched and so used, they sent me another FREE.I didn't expect that.

I just called the Tatung company and asked the same question. The inside of this cooker (including accessories) is also stainless, the material is SUS304(18/8) . This message has been announced on the web:http://tcpc.tatung.com/Message/Details/77 (written in Chinese).

It is plastic. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems. Note: it does get a little hot so I'd recommend a pot-holder, if you're going to grab right after it's done percolating.

Best quality among all I have owned. Get the infrared unit and rotissary. The cooking lid is double walled stainless. All the guts are stainless. Really brag about it.

Lids are made from BPA-free polypropylene and have a silicone seal. Ideal situation, of course, would be no plastic. But as long as the food rests safely in the glass portion, it's about as good as it gets. Wean Greens and Glasslocks are simply awesome!
