How can stainless steel rust?

It's possible the dishwasher created an environment for rust. Now I hand wash these knives.

I have owned these knives for over a year and they have no rust. I do not put them in the dishwasher, however.

304 stainless will not rust. i believe the difference basically is that one is alloyed with nickel the other with chromium.chromium alloys are much whiter.

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

Mine did not rust, but don't use it any more,bought the $25.00 one that fits the whole top of a pan.This particular one came apart when I was using it and I plunged my hand into the boiling water. So cheap is not always the good answer. It wasn't for me.

I seriously doubt it. If it was carbon steel there might be a chance, but I have never seen stainless rust in fresh water after being treated with tuf glide.

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

Stainless steel is prone to rust when it has contact with non-stainless steel metals. Use a stainless steel scrubby and this will not happen. We've had ours since December 2013 and not a rust spot in sight!

Eventually is a funny timeline, so yes, it will eventually rust. Stainless is called such because it stains "less" than unalloyed steels and iron. The more alloyed the material is, the more rust and corrosion resistance it will have. I wouldn't immerse the kettle in hot salt water for extended periods of time though.

I have not had an issue with rusting. As with any metal you want to wipe them dry before putting them away. I wash mine in the dishwasher and love them.

Just as a point of metallurgy here: if you use a steel wire brush on stainless steel, it will rust. The carbon steel from the wire brush will become embedded in the stainless surface.

Had mine for over a year and have had no rust issues.I also have very hard water.

Even Stainless Steel can take on rust stains if placed next to a rusting object - the box is tin and if the Cutters are placed in it damp or allowed to dampen, there will be rust on the cutters from the container.

I´m not sure if it is stainless steel... at the same time I have had it for a while and have not seen any rust at all. It has stayed completeley black. By the way it works very well.

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.

Elizabeth, I have used stainless steel pots for years, and have never seen any rust. I use regular dishwashing liquid to wash, and just dry and put away.The set I bought was a Christmas present, and my daughter loves them.

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.

Strange one. If it's new and never been used maybe its packing coating? You don't supply a lot of information, could be a host of issues, sulfur and sulfide compounds have detrimental effects on stainless steel surfaces, if you keep it in a hot humid condition, oxidation can occur, stainless steel doesn't mean it cant rust, in the right conditions it will! Just so many variables it's difficult to answer why!
