Is the metal rust proof or resistant, particularly on the inside? Is that a gasket material at the opening?

don't know if it's rust proof. there is no gasket on the lid but it it seems to be water resistant. I am careful cleaning around that area though.

So far I haven't seen any sign of rust, I keep the cover on it so it also keeps the dirt out. I'm satisified with it.

I don't know what the inside is but mine is completely rusted. I've only had it a year. I'll admit I didn't fully read the "directions" which indicate it should be emptied out and dried between each use. I am looking for another one that is stainless steel which will not rust.

I don't know. It's just an insert, it's over my kitchen sink n I haven't had a problem like rust or pitting

I bought this in August of 2013. There is no rust on it. We leave it out doors on our screened in back porch with water in it for the dog. We live in northern Florida on the Atlantic coast along marshy wetlands. It gets very humid here. A magnet does not stick to it. So I would dare to say that this is high quality stainless steel.

I have not had mine rust but they have developed a spotty green corrosion which Im told can be prevented with Bar Keepers Friend. They are great quality seats though and besides that one drawback theyre perfect and really ANY metal hinge is going to do that.

yes it is plastic It does seem to be holding up well and you can not tell it is plastic when it is on. no rust in the future either I was not sure about the plastic to start with, but i an satisfied with it now. I could not find a metal one anyway. Richard Bacon. Phoenix, AZ

I installed this some months ago, I don't recall about the gasket, but I do recall that I was entirely comfortable with the closure mechanism and was not at all concerned about it not being weather proof.

It's totally rust proof, although I have not seen any rust yet, except on the cheap bolts they give u, I switched mine out a month ago to stainless , it's kinda greenish , a dark green swirls with black as the background easy to put together

Everything is removable but only the top piece (lid) is plastic. So far I haven't seen rust anywhere and I've had it since Feb of this year.

It looks like steel to me. I seem to remember something on the tag about rust-proofing, too.

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.

the inside is ceramic, just the heating mechanism is metal. don't know what kind of metal, but think its stainless cause it does't rust.

I love this can opener. it is light weight but heavy gauge. As far as being rust proof I really don't know. But I see no reason it would rust.

I use it indoors, but as it is aluminum, you should have no problem with rust.

I still use my everyday. I don't have any rusting issue what so every. I have been using my everyday since I got it. The inside still looks new.
