What is the inside made of, and will it rust after awhile?

It appears to be black....possibly enamel or non stick. I have used mine daily without any difficulties and cannot imagine it rusting easily.

It appears to be a black enamel. I can't say for sure if it would rust because we haven't had it that long. So far there are no complaints.

The inside is coated black. Looks porcelain enamel. Really doubt it would rust. I use everyday. We do NOT have hard water. Also I like the fact the handle is stationary and does not flop side to side. My set of pots and pans is the red porcelain speckled with black.

Well the entire pot is made of steel, but the inside is coated with the same ceramic as the outside with different colors. Mine is the black one with a solid black colored ceramic coating on the inside. Also, I've had mine for three years now and I haven't had any issues with rust nor do I expect to have any.

The inside is a black coated I'm thinking porcelain. It is not too thick but I don't think it will rust i haven't had mine for too long but seems to be sturdy for the size it is.

No, it will not rust, because the inside is coated with Teflon. They include a waiver with the kettle warning that Teflon should not be used around birds or small pets - but apparently they think its okay for adults and small humans.

It has some type of black coating that appears to be very thin fine and smooth. My guess is that it is to protect it from rusting. Hope this helps

It is Black, think it is the same material as the out side. It definitely will NOT RUST.When I'm done heating water, what I don't use, I poor out, let cool down and wipe the inside with paper towel. Best Tea Pot I've ever owned..........Even forgot to empty the water, till hrs latter, no problem.......You won't be sorry.........

Bought as a gift. She keeps inside her kitchen. Can't tell you if it's rust proof but I do know it was meant for outside use.

I've only used it indoor. Not really sure if u can leave it outdoor. It's made of aluminium. So may not rust easily.

Yes, it's coated with enamel inside so no problems with rust. I use it for tea and hot chocolate.

I've had it in action for nearly two years (have long since thrown the box out, so don't know what the metal is), but it has not rusted one bit, and I really like it. The large size was a plus for me. The outside is metal. The bottom and drain train are gray plastic. I would say it's held up very well so far. Some have complained about spots on the bottom over time, but you just have to get it a wash once in a while, and they're gone.

Well, I'm not the authority on this question. I would contact manufacturer because that is a really good question. Currently, mine is set up outside in the elements, but I have thought several times that I sure hope it doesn't rust. I just have not taken the time to move it into the garage...lazy. Let us know if you find out that it needs to be stored indoors. Thanks!

It is not showing any signs of rust yet. It is still less than a year old though.

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5(I still use it though.)

It's moderately durable and I have not had mine long enough to know if it rusts. I believe other reviewers have reported that it will rust.

I'm not sure, but it's been in the bathroom for a few months now and shows no signs of rusting.

I have not had the item long enough for it to rust, but just from examination of the product, I doubt that rust will be a problem. The rack is in my basement which while not wet, is not completely dry. I think that I could not say for sure that it does not rust for a few months at least.

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.

I know it won't at least rust for a long period of time if cleaned properly after each use. But if it's sitting in water constantly, then yes it will rust. Afterall, it is stainless steel. (:

Not sure about rust. I have this in my basement guest bathroom so it doesn't get regular use. So far it's held up nicely though.

I keep mine strictly indoors, so there has been no rust. However, I greatly doubt that it would be rust proof. I had a very expensive table in years past and even that one would need to be cleaned if it got caught in a quick moving rain storm when I was grooming outside.

It is made of cast aluminum, stainless steel and plastic, the only things that can rust would be hardware.

I honestly don't know, but it looks like something similar. It doesn't rust and you barely have to clean it ever. The first one we still have has been in continuous use for some 3+ years, never cleaned and still perfect. And we just got this new model for the other floor we moved to (had to leave the old one) - and it's just amazing :)
