Are the edges (where the lid meets the pot) enamal or raw iron? Has anyone had any problems with rust?

Edge of the top of the pot is smooth where the cast iron and enamel meet. I don't have any rust on mine, and as far as I know if you treat it kindly it should last a very long time. My Mom had one in the 80s and it latest forever.

The edge is not enameled. I have 4 Le Creuset enamel cast iron Dutch ovens that I use weekly. I purchased my first one about 10 years ago. I have never had any trouble with rust. I don't put them in the dishwasher; I handwash and let them air dry. I have occasionally left them filled with soapy water for 24 hrs or so...not because they needed to soak that long but because I was lazy...and they never formed rust. They were not fully submersed in water, just filled with water. I don't recommend doing this, but I would think if rust was going to form, it would have in such instances.

The top and bottom of lid is enamel as well as the top. The outer edge of the lid seems to be a little bit raw iron, but not a lot. I have had no problems at all with rust of any kind. It is, in fact, the best piece of cookware I have ever owned. Hope this helps!

haven't got a clue but - I have had mine for three months, used it weekly and it has held up and not rusted. I do not put it in the dishwasher. I am so pleased with it that I have bought 7 of them so far. Two for me and the rest for gifts.

No rusting. Love this item, use it for my bread baking and other kitchen uses. You will not be sorry. Good quality item. I have two, one for our house and one for our camper.

It is galvanized steel so it won't rust. I am very happy with it. I use the jar mainly for sun tea.

Well the entire pot is made of steel, but the inside is coated with the same ceramic as the outside with different colors. Mine is the black one with a solid black colored ceramic coating on the inside. Also, I've had mine for three years now and I haven't had any issues with rust nor do I expect to have any.

My original porcelain pans that came with the range have rusted and need replacing. I am shopping now for some. So yes Linda, rust is an issue.

the inside is ceramic, just the heating mechanism is metal. don't know what kind of metal, but think its stainless cause it does't rust.

Yes. It appears to have a black enamel coating. I've had it for over 6 months now. Much of the time with some degree of water and no evidence of rust. Not the sturdiest teapot but not bad either. Got it for its color.

Yes, it's coated with enamel inside so no problems with rust. I use it for tea and hot chocolate.

It appears to be black....possibly enamel or non stick. I have used mine daily without any difficulties and cannot imagine it rusting easily.

Mine has not rusted after over 2 years of use. The area which comes in contact with the electric boiler tends to crust up hard water after every 3-4 weeks, but it's definitely not rust. What we have found to work well is to squeeze a half lemon into the pot with some water and boil it for 10 minutes and the hard water crust comes off by itself.

There is a metal screw and 2 rivets on the inside of the lid that holds the handle on, however, I've used it quite a bit and have had no issues with rust. I'll see if I can attach a photo for you to see.

It is Black, think it is the same material as the out side. It definitely will NOT RUST.When I'm done heating water, what I don't use, I poor out, let cool down and wipe the inside with paper towel. Best Tea Pot I've ever owned..........Even forgot to empty the water, till hrs latter, no problem.......You won't be sorry.........

I have not had any trouble with rust at all. I have been so happy with this product - I tried a few others but this one is the easiest to clean and manage

I can only speak for my thermos, but I haven't see any sign's of rust, but I have seen discoloration from coffee. I have cleaned the inside of the thermos using a non-abrasive kitchen cleaner several times (rinsing very very thoroughly afterward). The inside returns to a gleaming non-pitted finish. I would believe that rust would last through this type of cleaning.

Yes, there are rivets on the inside of the pot from where the handles are attached. We have never had a problem with them and there isn't any rusting or discoloration. I hope this helps!

We use everyday and have never seen issue with rust. There are some hard water issues and scaling but just need to clean with vinegar.
