Does it rust around the interior lid edge? My Mario Batali dutch oven, which looks like a similar design, is very rusty.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

The Lodge is completely enameled. Unless you scratch off the enamel, it will not rust. I love my Lodge Dutch Ovens, I have 3 now.

So far so good. I just love this one! I have one that did that on the lid but it was a cheap one. This one is great!

I have both sizes of dutch ovens, and neither one has rusted or has any issues at all. The porcelain interior is very easy to clean. I use Bon Ami which works extremely well without scratching the surface. I do not put in the dishwasher.

I've had my Lodge covered enameled casserole pan for about 1 year now. I use it about 3 times a week. It has not rusted at all. No rust on the lid. It does have one or two tiny chips on the outside from banging it against something but otherwise so far so good.

Nope! We have had ours for nearly three years now. It sits outside year round. We live in Ohio. No rust. The only thing that is less than perfect is the fit of the inner lid. It's not quite "true". Not a big issue. Good luck!

It's ceramic so shouldn't rust. Haven't had mine for long. I do notice there is some calcification around the outside of the bowl. I use tap water so that's probably why. I just make sure to totally empty it and clean out the hair and food that might get into the filter area. It's very heavy.

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

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.

I put mine in the dishwasher. I do rinse first. So far, no rusting. They have nicely finished edges. Better than the pan that came with the oven!

The bottom--the pot portion--has some discoloration, but no rust. I use it regularly, and have had it for a year.

I used crisco to season mine when I first got it. Every now and then I spray it with olive oil. Going to season it again with crisco here in a few days. Haven't seen any sign of rust. How long have you had it?

Yes, the interior is Porcelain Enamel, rust proof. The pot works very well but is smaller than pictured although it WILL hold 40 oz barely.

I don't know what the inside is but mine is completely rusted. I've only had it a year. I'll admit I didn't fully read the "directions" which indicate it should be emptied out and dried between each use. I am looking for another one that is stainless steel which will not rust.

It rusts? Lol. I spray it with nonstick oil before and after each use, so far no rust, but I've only had it a few months.I prefer to cook all meats in a real smoker and use a wired internal meat temp probe for desired doneness.

This smoker has been sitting in my backyard for one year, no rust. I live in arizona desert but we have our wet season twice a year. I did buy a cover for it when I got it and I keep it clean and covered when not in use. The outside front door is stainless steel, but like I said no rust to report anywhere on the unit.

I've had it for 4 months and its only contact with water is when cleaned utensils are returned to it. No rust yet!

So far it has a few very tiny rust areas. We have owned one for a couple months now. We love the size and warmth if this chininea! It has been such a great purchase... Will store inside over the winter though.

No but I notice a few spots on the outside of the pot that are getting discolired but it's not rust. I empty my pot each time I use it, not because of rust but to keep down a hard water build up.

Yes. You're right. But the edge of the inner lid did rust after a few months. Not really important

It is the same rust-resistant matte black finish on the entire pot. We've had this for almost a year now and really like it. It's held up well. We keep it on our propane heating stove (like a woodstove) with water in it and I've never seen it steam but it does but a little more moisture in the air. Just a bit of advice -- I would definitely season it with some kind of oil when you first get it...we used organic coconut oil all over inside and out and "baked" it in the kitchen oven on 350 for an hour, and that has made all the difference for maintaining the finish and avoiding rust, etc. It is the same rust-resistant matte black finish on the entire pot.
