Does the underside of the poacher around the rim rust? I have a lesser quality poacher I like but with this major flaw.

Had a lesser quality poacher but the problem was the teflon peeling off the egg cups. Had no rust problems with it but it was hand-washed & dried daily. Have had the calphalon only 2 months. No rust but also hand-washed & dried daily. The first poacher said to spray the cups with Pam. I feel this made the teflon break down. The calphalon says to rub the cups with oil. Am using olive oil & the eggs fall out easily.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

We have used ours infrequently for the last couple years - no rust problems i am aware of. It's a quality piece of cast iron, good paint on the outside-

Never had any rust issues with either the regular or this finish. This model has a poor Phillips driver design though, it is only as thick as the flat blade drivers. On the first pair I got it broke during it's first use, putting a screw into a plastic housing.

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!

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

I usually cover it if it's raining but other than that I have had it a couple years now and just noticed the bowl starting to rust. I think that can be fix though. It is the only part that has rusted.

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.

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

Ours has become very rusted around the inside of the lid as well the rim on the tea kettle where the lid fits in. This started happening several months ago and we have had it 1 year.

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

Mine is stainless on outside. Inside has to be wiped out after use or i suppose it would rust eventually. Mine isn't rusting.

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5(I still use it though.)

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 haven't had that issue. As others have posted, I would make a point to grease the rim well or soak it prior to cleaning.

I have had mine for over a year and have noticed just a corner starting to rust. I believe I will wash it and apply rust-oleum and that thick coating should protect it for a long time. This is the most durable type of squirrel feeder I have discovered.
