Is it better quality than the one that comes with the steamer? The original rack rusted, no longer useable.

I purchased the 9 qt steamer model, and these racks (they come in a set of 2) were slightly smaller and of thinner gauge wire. You could crush them fairly easily with your hands if you wanted, but I see nothing wrong with the workmanship and should hold anything you would want to steam. Oh, and mine didn't look like the picture. The picture shown is like the one that came with the steamer. This set didn't have the opening in the center and were slightly shorter and smaller diameter. There may be different styles being sent out depending on the suppliers.

I didn't receive any steamer rack when I purchased my Secura 3-Tier steamer, so I can't compare to whatever you received. But, I have used the rack about once every 1-2 weeks for 10 months now, and it still looks brand new. It's pretty simple, but seems very well made, sturdy, and no rust at all.

Ironically I just moved my rack inside after being in the sun and the rain since mid may. The rack shows no rust EXCEPT slight rust at the screws that hinge the sides in and out. I consider this a minor problem and a little oil will fix it I have 4 of these shelves and although pricey they are great top quality J Fred Madden.....Springboro OH

I have had mind for three years and it is rusting. I don't think this is acceptable. I am looking for a new one with a different finish.

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.

Rack is different than the one that originally came with the pot. The other had separators for jars. This doesn't. This works great!

I do put then in the dishwasher regularly, especially with super sticky stuff is on them. They hold up grea. No rust. They are well-made and more sturdy then most other racks that I have. I was so impressed with them that I actually bought 3 more. Just remember to place the feet on the racks facing in towards the dishwasher so the sides of the washer don't get scratched up.

We have 2. One actually broke after 4 months. I replaced it. The other has been up for 6 months. Really can't find anything else that looks ok and doesn't rust.

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.

This rack stays in the garage in Florida, and has wet towels on it all the time with our crew. It appears to be plated with some kind of enamel coating, much like the old iron skillet lids, It is not showing any signs of rust that I can see. I just checked it again. I haven't had it long but it is just what I need.

Yes - the metal does not rust. This is a great wire rack. Some water does pool on the edges of the drain pan but it is easy to keep clean. This is our second one. The first one was exactly the same and the plastic parts eventually break down. It is not a perfect dish rack but it is by far the best and easiest to keep clean of all we have tried.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry! We are currently out of stock although it shows on the website there is a couple remaining and it should be updated in 24 hours to reflect the correct information. We do receive shipments weekly so please check back again on the website. Since we are out, I cannot check to see if the rack is also stainless steel and was not able to get the information from the manufacturer either pertaining to what the rack is made of unfortunately.Please check back soon!Ann

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.)

We purchased our rack from the local wholesale c*stc* warehouse for just under $30 back in November of 2013. It began to rust after about two weeks of use. It's stainless steel but must be of poor chinese quality, because the bottom of the rack is rusting pretty badly now. About every three months, we have to give it a hard scrub to remove most of the rust. Am thinking of returning it to the store. I do like the design though. . .

Hello Matt,The product review you are referring to, I would say that is is a very very small probability for the extractor to have any rust. The drum is full stainless steel and very durable. The supports should be rust resistant.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO
