On the replacement parts order form under Rice Cooker Plus, there are 2 items: Inner Ring and Clear Inner Lid. I know what the Clear Inner Lid is (I looked on the product use and care card to see what they called it), but what is the Inner Ring? :confused:

Thank you :)

Oh for goodness sakes! I was inspecting my Rice Cooker, looking and looking for another piece/part!! :eek: I had almost come to the conclusion that mine might be defective or something - although it works fine!

Thank you Beth! :D
