Did anyone experience rusting after washing? I washed it with soap and water and the surface is the color of rust. Not sure if I washed it wrong?

We have use cast iron cookware for 40 plus years. After you wash cast iron you need to dry it completely and not let it sit to dry. We quite often place it back on the range top with the burning on for a minute or so making sure it is completly dry. Even seasoned cast iron will need a wipe of cooking oil from time to time. Paper towel a little cooking oil wipe the inside completely leaving just a hint of a layer or oil. Either of these two methods should help with the rust problem.

I have only had mine for 6 months, but I use it almost every day. I oiled the pan with butter, the first three times. I washed and dried it immediately after use. Haven't seen a speck of rust, yet.

Yes ours rusted some too after washing. I thought maybe my kids had left water sitting in it.

Wash normally, then take paper towels with a bit of oil and run plan to season pan after each washing. This will remove the rust and keep it oiled.

No rust problems here. After cooking I use very mild liquid detergent with little bit of water. Use paper towel to loosen anything stuck. Rinse immediately and dry thoroughly. Re-oil with cooking oil. (Seasoned)

I agree with Rick. It must be washed immediately, and occasionally oiled with cooking oil.

No! We have owned it for several months and I have not seen any rust on this item. We do not run it through the dishwasher. It is washed and cleaned in the sink and placed in the drainer.

Mine is rusty. It rusted in spots as soon as I washed it first time. Now I keep it outside by my grill. It don't look good enough for the kitchen any more.

No. Mine looked as good as new after half a year of use. Anyway you can always wash it with soap.

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.)

Yes its normal. You have to make sure to wash and dry it immediately. To remove the rust already there, I've used steel wool. Works great!

You must dry straight after washing and I put oil in bottom of pan and wipe it all over with a piece of kitchen towel. We don't have any rust and if I did just use metal scourer ti remove and season the pan.

I have had the flatware for about two years and have not had any rust. I just wash in the dishwasher. It will develop spots that can easily be prevented when I am willing to turn off the dishwashers automatic dry and hand dry. Really, I am very rarely (almost never) willing to hand dry. My wife and I like this flatware very much.

I've never had a problem with rusting. But...I wash my knife immediately after use, dry it and put it away.

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 think so. I have only used it a few times, but I did let it soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes each time before I washed it. I had no problem cleaning it after that.

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.

I have had no issues with rust, I wash mine bin the dishwasher, have left it in the sink over night in water, accidentally, and it still looks great. I use it several times a month and have no complaints at all.

If you put it in the dishwasher it will get rust spots over time. My old set I use to take the rust spots out with steel wool. If you wash it by hand it won't rust.
