Will this rust if it is used to hold water (to soak baby bottles) for long periods of time? Also, might sit in a wet sink for long periods of time.

I use a 12 and 16 gt for a double boiler for canning. Have not had any problems.

I would think it would be okay. I use mine while canning tomatoes. I used it to peel the tomatoes over to catch the juice for canning after I was finished with marinara, salsa and so on. I would think acidic tomato juice sitting in there for hours would rust it if anything would. Hope this helps!

Stainless steel doesn't rust so I think the thing you should worry about would be lime deposits around the interior of the pan from the water while you soak baby bottles. This would be after a week of soaking. I can't imagine soaking baby bottles that long . . . and sitting in a wet sink . . . the lime deposits from the water might be the biggest problem.

It shouldn't. I have used it on the stove top. Worked great for making large batch of stuffing.

I soak mine frequently and have even run it through the dishwasher a few times. It has never rusted, but it has discolored slightly.

Yes ours rusted some too after washing. I thought maybe my kids had left water sitting in it.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for 2-3 years now. I leave water in it and use it daily. Never had a spot of rust.

No, no issue wih Rust. It's the perfect size and it's well made. I love it. Good luck

It's plastic, so it won't rust. It would be fine for outdoors if not extreme weather. It holds a lot of water so it would need to be kept where the temperature of the water can remain consistent. I hope that helps.

I am not sure if it will rust or deteriorate if left outside. Mine is in my kitchen. My impression is that it is designed for inside use.

I have had no issues with rust, I wash mine bin the dishwasher, have left it in the sink over night in water, accidentally, and it still looks great. I use it several times a month and have no complaints at all.

I'm not sure, maybe if we let it sit around all day every day full of water, it might get some rust. But we empty the remaining water after we have tea or coffee. Like any product, the way you take care of it does matter. We still like this product.

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

It is a fairly heavy duty plastic so it will not rust. Ours is inside, but I'm sure it would be fine outdoors. Be advised, it is huge! It's significantly larger than what I probably needed for my two 80# dogs. I cannot barely carry it after filled so if my husband is unavailable, I only fill it 1/2 and change their water more often. It is attractive looking though, as far as automatic waterers go.

This was a gift to our daughter...she has had it for a few years...uses her dishwasher, and never has had any rusting. Not sure why it would, but good luck with it!!! GG

I,ve had mine in use for 17months and have not encountered any rust problems. I am very happy withthe sink as it is durable and easy to clean. I had a composite sink in my former house and could not keepit clean.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

No rusting here. We wash and dry it immediately by hand... probably wouldn't recommend using dishwasher soap because it is more corrosive.

I haven't experience it so far but I can only see that happening if they are letting the water sit. It is rare went stainless steel rust. Its a beautiful sink and worth the money.
