What is the nonstick inside pot made of? It doesn't look like teflon. Is it a safe replacement to teflon?

The material is definitely not the oder-like like Teflon material which was deemed to be a hazard. So far, our liner has not been any problem with multiple use. We use plastic and wooden utensils. Ism sure if you google the manufacture website and contact them you could obtain the exact name of the liner material. So far, it's been a wonderful multi use appliance.

Don't know, however ours broke and can't get any response from Amazon or the MaxMatic. Save your money go to QVC. They always do returns and take care of their customers.

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

It is nonestick. So far it is easy to clean, and cooks great. I am not sure what material is made of. U have to contact the seller for correct information.

Looks like Teflon to me, but there are new nonstick coatings out there being used now like the coating on the latest 'green' pans. This pan insert works very well, just keep a watch on eggs for doneness. Personally I always take eggs out of the frig in enough time for them to become closer to room temp. Find it works well to keep my yolks from becoming hard cooked.

I need find replacement for inner pan too. Not sure it is quality issue or not. I bought the cooker 4 years ago from Amazon. Now it started losing the non-stick coating in some area.

It is Teflon inside. If anyone has any good recipe's I would love to have them or any good idea's for it's use. I hardly use mine. Other then making French fries or doing chicken strips and we're tired of both.

Hi! LB, This it made by All-Clad just like most of my stainless steal pots and pans. It is completely nonstick flat black outside always looks new. I was afraid materials in nonstick would diminish my mental capacity but, to late. I now wish I had this Emeril collection of nonstick.

I don't think it is. I washed mine in the dishwasher and it messed up the texture of the outside of the pots. The inside nonstick is fine, but they are ugly now.

I have to assume, since it really does not say "Teflon", that it is another type. I am thinking that it it truly was "Teflon", that it would say so. I am using my pan at our vacation home, so it hasn't had very much use yet. I will only use plastic or wood tools in it though to preserve the non stick coating.

This is a guess but I remember Teflon pans and this non-stick surface is much harder and darker than Teflon ever was. Off-hand, I'd say no it isn't made of Teflon. I don't know that Teflon is even used anymore. Why not ask Calphalon?

That is correct. The sauce pans are not Teflon inside. Only the skillets. The pans that I bought have copper bottoms. They are very easy to clean. I have had the heat up too high on a couple of things, and the food did not burn or stick to the bottom of the pans. They are absolutely my favorite pans.

I'm not sure of the material but it is not teflon; it's one of the newer non-stick materials. I love this pot and even purchased one as a gift.

It's coated, but doesn't look like a nonstick coating.It feels more like an enameled (albeit very thin) coating, not the usual teflon.It doesn't really have any taste...strangely enough.

I think it is a non stick teflon. It's not a ceramic. It does clean up very easy. I do have to say, I just love this system. I use it more than my regular oven. With winter coming upon us soon, I will be using the crock pot part of it a lot too I am sure!

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

I'm assuming you mean the cook pot. NO, it is not stainless it is a non-stick surface.

Mine is stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating to speak of. It's not like a coating you might find on a pan or pot, it's simply stainless steel. With a little oil, I have had no issues.

When I emailed Zojirushi, this is the answer I got :: Dear Jenny, All of our water boilers have a stainless steel inside liner with a non-stick coating. The nonstick coating is made of PTFE. It is a fluoropolymer, a material commonly used for non-stick coating in cookware for conventional kitchen use.

It is non-stick teflon coating on the inside, stainless steel outside.I believe there is another model sans teflon coating.
