It says it has a steel bowl. Is it porcelain coated? I'm concerned about water collecting in the bowl and rusting.

I do not believe it is porcelain but appears to be paint which is heat resist. I would recommend cover when not in use after it has cooled down.

It appears to be stainless steel, I have a cover for mine so it won't get wet when not in use.

we have had ours for a couple years and no rust, not sure if its porcelain or not. ours has been outside year round we do cover it when not in use

The bowl appears to be stainless steel. There is also a plastic cover that comes with the unit that completely covers it completely.

Not coated, and it will rust. The unit comes with a cover, but it's very flimsy and tears easily.

no porcelain enamel here. Entire unit: interior, exterior, pan and crumb tray, are steel. Not sure that any of it is stainless, though...

I've had mine a little over a year. It arrived without a single scratch and is a pure copper bowl. The finish on it is still perfect. It doesn't sound like the bowl you got is at all like mine. Can you return or exchange it?

I've had it in action for nearly two years (have long since thrown the box out, so don't know what the metal is), but it has not rusted one bit, and I really like it. The large size was a plus for me. The outside is metal. The bottom and drain train are gray plastic. I would say it's held up very well so far. Some have complained about spots on the bottom over time, but you just have to get it a wash once in a while, and they're gone.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

It seems to be well-coated with a protective glaze of some sort, so I think the chances of that are minimal. However, anything metal has the ability to rust at the joints or wherever nicks might leave it vulnerable to moisture. Just don't immerse it in water or place damp or wet items on it and you should have no problem.

It is coated with, I guess, a porcelain finish. True, I do not get everything off-even with scrubbing, but, the worse mess comes off after I let it soak awhile in soapy water. I do not wash it after every use---often use a grill brush to scrap it off when it is hot. I will add here that the grill gets unusually hot and is great to sear a steak and still have it rare in the middle. I really like this grill! Thanx for reminding me-------I forgot to bring it in to soap in the sink when I last used it--will go do that right now.

I'm not sure. I think that it is aluminum. It's hard to tell. It is covered with a painted porcelain, inside and outside.

I would contact them directly for a correct answer. I love mine and I've ha it for two years or so and it's never rusted and it's easy to clean. I'd buy this again. Hope this helps!

The inside is a black coated I'm thinking porcelain. It is not too thick but I don't think it will rust i haven't had mine for too long but seems to be sturdy for the size it is.

It has a porcelain grill. It is very easy to clean. I soak mine in the kitchen sink for about 10 minutes then wipe it dry.

I do believe it is stainless steel. It looks the same as the outside and does not appear to be lined.

It is steel with a metal grey finish, not stainless. I was a little worried about the grey color too but it looks great in my small vintage kitchen, I have no regrets.

The bowl is stainless steel. The blade and bowl are excellent and heavy duty. I have had my machine for over a year and it is the best.

well, it IS made of metal--albeit stainless steel-- so I wouldn't leave it sitting in a bowl of water. Also, razor blades can rust, so I suggest if it is being stored, it should be dry, with blade removed. Ours is doing just fine with regular usage... no rust yet.

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.
