The description says this is made of stainless steel, but many of the comments mention rusting. Are these stainless?

Pictures were posted of the alphabet cutters arriving rusted. Looking at the description for the alphabet cutters, nowhere does it say they are stainless steel. So it appears some of the cookie cutters are stainless steel and some may not be. Reading the description thoroughly for each option is important.

Yes, I believe they are. However, stainless steel can rust. I cannot imagine why these cookie cutters would rust, unless someone was careless with them (i.e., didn't dry them off before they stored them, or stored them in a damp place). Mine have never rusted.

Even Stainless Steel can take on rust stains if placed next to a rusting object - the box is tin and if the Cutters are placed in it damp or allowed to dampen, there will be rust on the cutters from the container.

I'm suspicious so I dry mine first with a dish towel, then finish with them on a rimmed cookie sheet in the oven at 350-400 degrees for 10 minutes. Never a problem.

I'm not sure what they are made of but they do not rust. I can see potential for the fasteners rusting over time perhaps but you don't see them. The number I bought looks great....

Al parts are metal. as to whether they are stainless steel I'm not sure. However nothing has rusted.

I have not seen any rust. I also hand wash mine though and they are not used very often so maybe someone who uses it a lot would have better insight.

I don't believe they are stainless but I've used them for around 5 years and have never had any problem with rust or corrosion.

Yes these tips are stainless steel. I would recommend hand washing or using a tip bag / dishwasher kit if you put them in the dishwasher to clean them. Allow them to air dry completely before storing them. This keeps them in good shape and will last a very long time!

Yes, these are stainless steel. Since buying them, none of the pourers have rusted or fallen apart.

I have not seen any rust on mine. They are good quality. Use Barkeeper's Friend and they will stay perfectly clean.

I put a magnet on it and it has a strong pull so therefor there is much iron in it. They still may be stainless steel though. So far I have seen no signs of rust or staining. I would recommend these as being close, if not actually stainless.

The shaker, bar spoon, jiggers, and strainer are all stainless steel. I'm not sure of the grade, but they are thick and sturdy. I've had the set for months now and still no rust.

They are not stainless steel but if you are concerned about rust mine is sitting in a sunroom that has a large spa. The humidity is high (70%+) and after 6 months I have seen no corrosion or rust.

Stainless shouldn't rust, I've had mine about a month, and I am really happy I bought them.

They are metal but I do not see anywhere on the package that they are stainless steel.

No. I run them in the dishwasher all the time. They are stainless steel and do not rust.

Appear to be. Mine have never rusted or tarnished, not even the end clips. They are definitely metal, not plastic or nylon.

It says right in the description details "made from stainless steel". Try reading the descriptions to get the info. Works for me.
