I received this as a gift, but I haven't had a chance to use it, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it. The pot is made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel. The grill plate has a non-stick coating to prevent food from sticking. Everything except the main body can be removed and washed, making it easy to clean. (^ ^) This one unit can do four things: "boil," "steam," "grill," and "fry." The compact and user-friendly design makes table cooking more enjoyable. I think it's perfect for families and parties! I will pack it in simple packaging and ship it.
