Does it rust? How do you care/clean it?

I can't say it is the easiest thing in the world to clean, but not too bad. What I do is take a spoon to scrape the inside where the fuel is which only takes a few seconds.As for the grill, I take a regular kitchen knife (not a sharp one), and I use it to scrape the top and bottom and in between the grates, which takes a minute or two.We purchased 4 of these on Amazon and we love them. FYI...we use sterno for fuel which works the best for us.Here is my recipe I have on Tasty Kitchen that uses this: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/pu-pu-platter-steak/

Inside insert sleeve is cast iron finished in black no rust. We use burner with gel sterno fuel to roast marsh mellows. Clean with soap and water.

Unfortunately it does, however the trick is to lightly oil it after washing, you have to remember the best results you will get is with similar made of cast iron and this is something you can't really avoid based on the composition of this material.

I have not had rust problem personally. I clean frequently or as needed wash and hand dry to prevent rust. That is me. Hope that helps.

I haven't had any parts start rusting on me and I don't keep it wet. I suppose it could be stainless steel. I like it and it works well and cleans up pretty easy. I hand wash the parts with dish soap and water and a sponge - just like washing dishes by hand and let the parts dry in a dish rack and I don't have any problems yet and no rust yet.

No! We have owned it for several months and I have not seen any rust on this item. We do not run it through the dishwasher. It is washed and cleaned in the sink and placed in the drainer.

I run mine through the dishwasher and have no problems. Haven't seen any rust spot yet either. I haven't tried hand washing but I bet it would be that difficult.

I have not seen any rust yet and I purchased it in December 2013. So far no issues, but the suction on the bottom is not working well, but it is not needed.

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

I have not had any issues with it rusting, and I've had it a couple of years. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but only the blade that touches the can really gets dirty. I just give is a quick rinse or wipe it off really quickly with a sponge.

I've had mine for about 4 months now and use it regularly, and haven't seen any rust yet!

Yes it does rust. It needs to be wiped down because they did not put any drainage holes in the base. What rust has gathered I have been able to wipe off.

We've only had ours a few months now, but so far, not rust. Our bathroom is fairly small AND we live in a high humidity area, so I'm hoping this bodes well. But so far, no rust, and it still looks fantastic.

I've had mine for a year. It is used often and has been washed many times. No rust at all.

No! I even leave a little water in it from time to time and no rust so far. I've had it for months & couldn't be happier.

I'm guessing the entire part is stainless steel. I use mine daily and have not had a problem with any part rusting. I just rinse it or give it a light scrub and let it dry on a dish rack. Hope that helps!

I have only had mine for 6 months, but I use it almost every day. I oiled the pan with butter, the first three times. I washed and dried it immediately after use. Haven't seen a speck of rust, yet.

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