Are there any issues with rusting? Is this made of stainless steel or chrome-plated steel?

I think it's chrome-plated. At least it looks different from stainless steel rack (which I have as a shelf in my dehydrator). Not stainless steel for sure.

I think it is chrome plated and so far it hasn't rusted but it's been my experience that these always eventually rust. However, I'm very hard on them I use them in the oven and put them in the dishwasher but I still get a couple of years of use. Also this one is nice because it fits inside of the half sheet pan and it was also pretty cheap.

I didn't buy this item for myself so I'm unable to answer your question. Generally speaking, with regards to my other cooling racks, if there is food baked on, I soak it in the half sheet pan filled with water and mild detergent for a couple hours, scrub it clean, and dry it right away.

I haven't experienced any issue with rusting. How long have you had it. We've had ours for about 6 months.

I bought this in August of 2013. There is no rust on it. We leave it out doors on our screened in back porch with water in it for the dog. We live in northern Florida on the Atlantic coast along marshy wetlands. It gets very humid here. A magnet does not stick to it. So I would dare to say that this is high quality stainless steel.

I believe that it is made from stainless steel, it does not rust. However it is too large to fit inside of my deepfryer so I have not been able to use it for what I bought it for.

Stainless steel certainly isn't supposed to rust. I have had this rack for a year now and it still looks as good as new. And, more importantly, it has kept my sink looking good also.

I have this one. It's stainless steel but a bit thinner. Even if it is tinned steel you don't have to worry about rust because you're not supposed to wash it. Just wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth & dry well

I have no idea what kind of metal it is, but I believe it is stainless steel. It shouldn't rust.

it is not stainless steel so it will rust. I haven't noticed much rust, but I don't leave it wet or outside so that it would rust. With normal common sense care, rust is not a problem. If you are asking about rust to determine if it is made of soft iron, it is not. It is definitely steel, but not high nickel or chrome steel Thus, it takes an edge nicely

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

Yes it's stainless and shows no signs of rust. Quite a compact rack. I would go the next size up if I had to choose again. Overall, it's a good product except the draining piece broke off. I talked to customer service because wanted to have it replaced. They told me that I have to first send it back before they can send me another. I haven't done it that yet because then I would have no where to dry my dishes. There customer service needs some work.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

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!

Don't know for sure, but it looks like stainless steel. I've had mine for a year, and no signs of rust.

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.
