The bowl will not rust but all steel parts will rust. What I do is to get a can of the HiTemp Rustoleum spray and at the start and end of the season spray all the black steel parts and the screen once or twice during the season. this will slow the deterioration. Of course, like all screen that are heated they will rust out. Check to see it lids can be purchase separately so you don't have to try and fit a screen in yourself. One other thing, the cover they send with the pit is basically crap. I have some 6mil plastic that I use instead that I cover the screen with and use bungies to secure it in place.

Not rusted, since that is a function of iron-based products, but will develop a patina. I am choosing not to clean and polish my bowl, but allow it to darken and basically turn a dark brown to black with the exposure to air, heat, ashes, and tar in the wood i am burning. I want to fool the cooper thieves out there, too.

We have owned the previous one for years and its just now starting to get some holes and things and the reason we bought a new one. The patina is a dark brown to black and we don't polish either because it's time consuming #1 but also keeps people from taking the bowl as they don't know it's copper. We have burned a ton of wood with the old one and look forward to many years with this one.

I have had mine for about 7 months so far and do keep water inside of it when not in use. There has been no issues with rust thus far, and I just checked the interior of the kettle.

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.

I've used it for months in my dish drainer. Clean, wet utensils go in it to dry. It's fine and hasn't rusted. Sorry for the delayed response. I hadn't been checking all my emails.

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.

it becomes rusty after some time. to avoid it, wipe it dry every time you done using it.

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.

No problems here. I used the pot for making Salsa and was very happy with it. I have seen no evidence of rust. I bought the pot summer of 2011, I believe.

I've had mine for about 2 years, I've used it regularly, kept it in the fridge, then not used it and stored it when I moved and no rust. I cannot say there isn't some hidden metal I can't see but I've seen nor tasted any rust. Enjoy!

No signs of rust, and I live right next to the ocean. I use the mixing bowls for everything and mostly hand-wash vs. using the dishwasher.

I've been using mine for about 9 months now, and no rust whatsoever. I would say the only drawback to this sink is the nature of stainless steel and watermarks. In my mind, it's still totally worth it.

No. I have had it for several months and there is not the slightest hint of rust. This is the stainless steel version. There is a less expensive version that reportedly rusts.

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

Mine has not rusted in any way and I have used it almost daily for several months. I can't guarantee that it won't rust but mine has not.
