what is the material on the inside of the lid - the part that touches the food?

It's a thick, heavy-duty plastic material. LOVE mine! We have two! One at our home and one at a lakehouse. We use them for tortillas, pancakes, waffles (keeps waffles warm but they get soft), and anything else that needs to be kept warm. I can easily rinse it out or toss in into the dishwasher. Wouldn't want to be without it!

The cover itself is plastic inside and outside. However, there is a heavy gauge stainless steel inner lid that attaches to the cover and seals between the cover and the stainless steel rice bowl. In my opinion, this rice cooker is far superior to the cookers usually seen in the retail market.

Looks like aluminum. Conducts heat (cold) like it, too. Not a problem in use, unless you're totally opposed to aluminum in food prep.

Most of the inside is metal. The top, where the lid screws on, is plastic but that only goes down 3/4 of an inch or so.

The lid has no plastic. It is stainless steel. No food touches any plastic.

Not inside the pot or on the lid. Everything that touches food is 100% stainless steel. The exterior cladding on the bottom of the pan could be aluminum, but it's difficult to tell. The pan is really a good pan and well built, with a good quality stainless steel.

It is plastic. I am not sure what kind but unlike all of the other plastic covers for the microwave that I have had, it does not "pit". With ALL of them, once hot food or sauce splatters on them, they form a pit in the area where the food splashes (or is actually burning it). This one however does not.

The top center of the lid is plastic to allow you to push to close without burning yourself. Therefore the inside circle part if the lid is also plastic. The rest of the lid is stainless steel inside and outside and so is the entire container.

I strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer. My opinion, however, would be that if there was any food touching the cover, the food might get too hot and damage the cover.

The lid does have plastic in the threads that screw the top to the container, but none of it touches your food; only stainless steel is in contact with your food.

It's a Teflon kind of thing. I love mine except for the lid is a pain to take off and put on.

It is stainless steel inside and out, however the Lid is plastic on the inside.

The upper section is a food-grade silicone similar to other "oven safe" silicone baking trays or cooking utensils. That isn't the issue. The bottom however feels more like a regular TPA material, similar to the polymers used in typical Rubbermaid and tupperwear containers.

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

The lid is plastic (with a seal); the green part that wraps around the ceramic is silicone.

The inner cover has an aluminum base. It will never come in contact with the food due to the polished stainless steel inner lid in between. The steam that passes through the inner lid is also is directed to the overflow cup and not back into the food.
