How do you store it? Does it ever rust if I do not dry it completely after each use?

I leave mine in a sponge holder and it's never dried before I throw it in there. It hasn't rusted and I've had it for a year now.

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.

Stainless steel will not rust unless it some how gets impregnated by a carbon steel. So unless some how you scratch it with a cheaper metal then it will never rust.

I just keep it on my sink. I've not had to dry it and it's not ever rusted.

I have not had any problems with rust. After I use it, I rinse it under the faucet and throw it in the drain rack. I had my first one for 15 years and have had this one for 9 months. I love it!

I have been using it every day since I purchased it, and there are no signs of rust. I rinse and dry it thoroughly every day.

It can be stored outside, but it is metal so it will rust if it is exposed to the elements, I would cover it with a tarp or keep it under a porch if possible

I agree with the other comments, make sure to completely dry it before storing and store it where there is no moisture. I haven't had any problems with the one I got.

We live in Florida, so it is humid here too. So far it has not rusted at all. It is working out for me.

Canisters can be stored in a dry area for a very long time. If the metal bottom shows any rust they should be used immediately or disposed in a safe manner.

The Lodge web site has a downloadable article on how to take care of cast iron.. And this is cast iron. If you are having rust on it you are either washing it in hot soapy water and not reseasoning it or washing it in the dish washer. To reseason it would take care of the rust. Like all cast iron it must be kept seasoned, and although I don't have to each use, when I do, then I rub it with a good paper towel before using it. I keep a soft oily rag stored in my cast iron skillets for reseasoning as needed after use. One will do fine for all your cast iron and always be ready.

No issues what do ever. Store indoors though. The sides are a little thin and rust.

Mine has not rusted, but it stays in my linen closet (away from moisture) most of the time and I don't put wet items in it.

The directions call for it to be stored in a cool dry place. I do keep mine in the refrigerator.

You want to wash/rinse it out well after use, wring it out but leave it damp to store it. There should be instructions that come with it but if you clean it first it doesn't get moldy/mildewy.

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.

So far, no! I usually always dry the flatware with a dish towel (to eliminate any chance water spots!), so maybe that's why no rust. However, when I think back about other stainless flatware I've owned, I don't think I ever encountered rust. I thought for the price, it was a good deal - and I haven't changed my mind.

As long as you keep it seasoned well, it does not rust. I usually wash it with hot water and oil it right after cooking. No rust so far. But I really hate the bottom turned to round instead of flat.

You know, I'm not sure, but I'd just make sure that it's clean and dry before storing. You might want to wash it with a little bleach in the water just to be sure. I haven't had any issues with mine so far.

I haven't had my shelf very long, but it seems to be very durable. Our bathroom, is very large and mine is mounted on the wall well away from the shower, so I know it won't rust there. But if you have it in a bath that gets totally hot and steamy, or close enough to where it might get splattered, be aware that it might rust. I like it because it holds alot and we can always have clean, fresh towels handy.
