Zojirushi Inner Cooking Pan

This specific inner pan is engineered as a genuine replacement part for the NP-NVC18 10-cup model. We recommend verifying your specific rice cooker model number on the bottom of the unit to ensure a proper fit, as dimensions and heating profiles vary across the Zojirushi lineup.

The platinum-infused coating is designed to alter the water quality inside the pan, which helps draw out the natural sweetness of the rice grains. Additionally, it provides a durable, high-quality nonstick surface that makes cleanup significantly easier.

No, you should avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch or damage the nonstick coating. To maintain the longevity of your pan, we recommend using the plastic spatula that came with your rice cooker or other silicone-based kitchen tools.

To preserve the nonstick coating, wash the pan by hand using a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, and never place the pan in the dishwasher.

Yes, because this is an OEM replacement part, it is specifically weighted and shaped to work with the pressure induction heating technology of your cooker. Using a non-genuine or ill-fitting pan can disrupt the heat distribution and pressure levels, resulting in unevenly cooked rice.
