The inner pot of the Xiaomi Electric Pressure Cooker 4.8L uses a water-based non-stick coating (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE).
For your reference, here are more details about the water-based non-stick coating:
1. Unlike oil-based coatings, water-based PTFE is free from harmful solvents, making it safer for both you and the environment. It reduces the risk of releasing toxic fumes during cooking and is FDA-approved for food contact;
2. PTFE provides excellent non-stick performance, preventing food from sticking to the surface. This makes cooking and cleaning much easier, requiring less oil or butter, which contributes to healthier meal preparation;
3. The water-based PTFE coating is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring long-term use without degrading. It can withstand high cooking temperatures and frequent use, maintaining its non-stick performance over time;
4. The coating also supports even heat distribution across the cooking surface, improving overall cooking efficiency and helping to avoid hot spots that could burn food.
