Short answer is no. This cooker is not "non stick", but it is "stick resistant".

So what does that mean?

Technically speaking, this along with other non-coated inner pots cannot be labeled as "non stick" as the coating is what prevents the food from sticking without the use of oil. However since many non-stick coatings are not durable and full of harmful chemicals, stainless steel interior is the healthier and most durable option. Never peel, never rust and never crack!

Tip: once the rice is fully cooked, please allow the cooker to remain closed for the next 15 mins to allow the rice to finish its carry-over cooking process. This will allow the rice to become less sticky to the pot. Very minimum sticking (stick resistant).

Typical rice cookers apply heat directly from an electrical plate underneath the inner cooking pot, induction-heating rice cookers get their heat from an alternate electric current from the wall outlet. This helps save and reduce energy cost as well as providing more accuracy, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments in temperature.

This cooker can also be used as a portable cooker as you can directly stir fry and sear oh high heat with the lid open!
