I used this about every other day for three months. There are small scratches on the rim of the lid. The inside of the pot is clean. It cooks rice very deliciously. However, it's difficult without using the timer function of a rice cooker, so I recommend this to those considering cooking rice in a donabe (earthenware pot). From the following site ↓ [Features] ● This is a rice cooking pot (5-cup capacity) that cooks delicious rice. ● The interior has a fluorine coating for easy cleaning. ● Two types of lids are included: a glass lid and an aluminum lid. ● It can be used as a double-handled pot for cooking other dishes besides rice. ● Made of aluminum, it is lightweight and less likely to boil over. ● Compatible with gas stoves and IH induction cookers (100V/200V). ● Comes with recipes. Please find the timing that results in your preferred rice cooking. Black
