How do you get stainless steel to rust after putting it in the dishwasher or even rust at all?

Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize, but I don't quite understand your question. Why would you want to put a stainless steel rack in the dishwasher to rust? Please clarify so we can assist you further.

Never clean it with soap. This will strip the seasoning. Use only water and a soft abrasive sponge. Lightly oil it to keep it from rusting at first. Eventually the "seasoning" will prevent rust from forming.

I haven't had a rust problem, but I don't put it in the dishwasher either. I wash and dry by hand (no biggie) and they continue to look new. I had one knife in the dishwasher by accident, and although I have a high-efficiency unit with spot rinse, it came out spotty. I love these knives and would buy them again.

FYI: Stainless Steel will rust if you use or leave bleach on it...as will vinegar

If you put it in the dishwasher, the shiny aluminum on the back of the pan will turn a nasty dark grey color and leave it with a chalky residue that will transfer to your hands, a dish towel, etc....not to mention water will set in the rolled ring around the outside of the pan and rust in there, the support ring inside that rolled edge is usually not aluminum therefore it rusts. I had a similar pan before this one and that's what happened to it.

Mine don't have any rust and I've had them for many years. I typically wash them in the dishwasher with the heated dry cycle so that may help since they get well dried. But I've also had them wet from being rinsed off and sitting on the counter for a couple days. They don't rust then either.

I just wash it and let it air dry on a microfiber dish drying cloth. I store it with the rest of my cooking utensils. So far no sign of rust whatsoever.

I bought a set of the Henckels International Everedge Plus Stainless Steel knives at a thrift store today. They don't seem to have ever been used, but all knives had spots of rust on them. Low-grade stainless WILL rust. DO NOT use a plastic scrubbie or the scrubbie back of a sponge because that hard plastic will scratch the metal. I used ZUD cleaner on a wet paper towel, with a lot of elbow grease, and got all the rust spots off without scratching the metal or the writing on the blade. I also use the ZUD on my good stainless pans to keep the bottoms looking like new.

No. Stainless steel is not supposed to rust. I would contact Cuisinart to see what they suggest.

You must dry straight after washing and I put oil in bottom of pan and wipe it all over with a piece of kitchen towel. We don't have any rust and if I did just use metal scourer ti remove and season the pan.

I've had this in my sink for a few months and I haven't noticed any rust. I have not attempted to clean it in the dishwasher

Mine did the same thing. Rusted on first washing in dishwasher. I put all kinds of stainless items in the dishwasher every day, no issues, just with these. Hell, my dishwasher door is stainless steel!!

Well of course it's going to rust. Like a cast iron pan, dry it as best you can with a paper towel, then thoroughly on a stove top or in an oven. Same with a BakingSteel for making pizzas. Even though I scrape and rinse it I put it in the still hot oven and close the door and it never rusts.

I have not had any rust issues. Mine either run thru the dishwasher or if hand washed, dry on a magnetic strip with my knives. I do not put my Ergo Knives thru the dishwasher though!

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

Hand washing is definitely the way to go. It will pit the metal and rust in spots if you go the dishwasher route.

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.
