Quality is great. No rust. Aluminum becomes slightly dull with use due to oxidation (you want this to keep it passive). I use a Propane Burner... I am not aware of an electronic burner that works with an Aluminum Kettle, especially of this size (100qts is over 25 gallons)

It's aluminum, so rusting is not an issue. It also has the same properties as any other aluminum pot regarding sticking. It's not Teflon coated, so it's not "non-stick". As long as you understand and respect how to use aluminum pots and don't expect Teflon or stainless steal characteristics, you will not be disappointed. That said, I use the pot for beer brewing and I use it on an outdoor gas burner, so I have no experience I using this on an electronic burner. I can't beggin to imagine how long it would take to heat this much liquid on a stovetop though!

I have never used an electronic burner. But this link agrees with what I have read, and you probably want Stainless Steel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking "For nearly all models of induction cooktops, a cooking vessel must be made of or contain a ferromagnetic metal such as cast iron or stainless steel. Copper, glass and aluminum vessels can be placed on a ferromagnetic interface disk which functions as a conventional hotplate."

I had a bit of oil on mine and I just burned it off. I think it is there to stop it from rusting while in storage. Hope you like it, I love mine.

Hi Molly, I think so. I made gravy from the drippings the last time I used it. I used two electric burners. I would say it is just thick enough - if you don't apply too much heat. It's the best I've seen for the price. HTH, Tom

Answer burners are looking like stainless steel. holds up very well. On my third tank of propane and no brake down noted. This is a vary easy unite to keep clean. Pull out drawer and drip pan are the best I have ever worked with. I have used every attachment and they all work very well. No complaints from me.

My burner coating is starting to wear thin after a year of 3-times-per-week use. I can see what might be rust starting to wear through. A little disappointing.

We cooked with it on a perfect flow one burner stove three times on low to medium heat. The third time, the coating flaked up and started coming off the skillet. It rusted up and we had to throw it away.

I have gas stove, and I've not had any problems at all---has not discolored or scratched at all.

It APPEARS to be made of brass. Your query prompted me to seek it out and give it a polish as there are some dark spots on its surface. I was unable to remove them. However, I am pleased with this burner - I bought it as a back-up for cooking during a power cut - and it isn't an ornament so I'm not really bothered about its appearance.

Thanks for replies. The burner is usually the first thing to rust out so I will look for a different grill.

It is non stick but you still get grill marks like you would on a gas grill. I am very happy with it.

I have never used this in an oven..but on a TEC Commercial grade stainless BBQ GRILL. I always turn grill on first, for very little time...but it is over open flame...low to medium heat...using to cook fresh salmon. Sprayed this item with Cooking spray, and salmon was brushed with oil...as to not stick. However, I did experience sticking, and some permanent discoloration to the RED ONE I purchased...Therefore, would suggest purchasing black color, and or, other means of sticking prevention. But otherwise, LOVE THIS ITEMS QUALITY and presentation, of item.

The interior finish is not quite mirror but very smooth. It is nearly as good as a true mirror finish for most cases. As long as you don't burn the food on it is fairly easy to clean. Rice will tend to stick. Occasionally you may need to soak it for a while. I recommend not using high heat. When it does need a good cleaning use a non-abrasive cleaner. If you want the easiest finish to clean go with teflon or a ceramic finish. This is very high quality and will last forever. I recommend this set.

YES, it is the reason I bought mine after I bought an induction burner. You won't be sorry because it is good quality and I like it because you can wash it out.

I received my grill about 4 weeks ago and have used it over 20 times and when both burners are on low or only one burner is on low, the burner(s) work very nicely and not sputtering at all; just a nice small flame on one or both of them.

I'm not an expert, but I do know that there are spray paint that can withstand high heat (specifically bar-b-q's). Maybe there's something equivalent that could be brushed on. I would assume that an appliance paint would not hold up to the heat from a burner. Maybe you could search further on Amazon or other website "high heat paint" or go to your local paint/hardware store for some advise.
