## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the non-stick liner coated with Teflon , or any other coating ?  I'm trying to avoid Teflon coated products.**
A: I can't tell. I've been looking throughout the box and manual and can't find anything that describes what it is made from, particularly the non-stick surface, but it looks a lot like teflon. the unit itself is made from aluminum. Two substances that we're not crazy about. Because of that, I'll be returning this product.

**Q: Is it possible to make only half a cup of dry rice in this or do you need to put at least 1 cup in for it to function properly?**
A: You can make 1/2, 3/4, 1 & 1.5 cup of uncooked rice. Any of these measurement the cooker will function properly. Important, Use the measuring cup provided. DO NOT USE OTHER CUP. The critical part is the water & rice ratio rules should be follow diligently to get good result.

**Q: What is the steamer insert made of and is it coated with anything?**
A: This is the small version.  It cooks at most 1 cup of rice.  It has no steamer insert unless I threw it out with the box.  The full size version which I also own came with a aluminum steamer insert.  Just a simple pierced rack that sits about 1/2 inch above bottom.

**Q: Does this really cooks 8cups of raw rice?!**
A: No. It makes 8 cups, but it's 4 cups of raw rice.
