inner pot

Removable cooking container

The inner pot is the removable cooking vessel that sits inside an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, or rice cooker.

It's where food actually goes—the outer housing contains the heating element and controls, while the inner pot can be lifted out for serving, cleaning, or storage.

Most are made of stainless steel or nonstick-coated aluminum: The inner pot is dishwasher safe.
