They are made of stainless and seem really sturdy. I put mine in the dishwasher basket and they wash up well.

It is made from some type of metal, not sure what kind. But yes it can get rust, I have had that happen but it does come off with sos pads. I live near salt water and everything rust so i guess I do not think that much about the rust and chalk it up to living by the ocean. The tips perform well and I have had no issues with placing them in the dishwasher.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

It's solid chrome vanadium on a steel bar frame. It will wear over a long time if you use it everyday, but will hold up to a lot of tuning and use. The tip is inexpensive to replace, however. And being that this is a student/professional version, there are always more expensive versions designed to take many years of hard detailed use. Hope this helps.

They don't rust and stain as easily as people say. I had the same concern, but I haven't had that problem. Just make sure they are dried properly. This is a very good quality set. Not sure where they are made, but they have the highest quantity of stainless steel possible.

It is made out of 304 Stainless steel. I am using it in my outdoor kitchen and it still looks great!

To tell you the truth, I haven't actually used this yet, but I'm sure it was made for the Wilton tips. That is the regular sized tips, not the larger sized ones. Wish you luck, just haven't had the time or opportunity to try it, looks like a wonderful idea. Nordic Ware is great brand, they have great products.

I don't know if it is stainless. The metal type should be listed in the product description. I use mine a lot and it stays out in my shed year round. No rust on it after 2 years

I got these for my sister as a Christmas gift. She says they have not rusted. She doesn't like them very much because she says everything sticks to them, but she's never had stainless before. I have used stainless for years. If you use cooking spray or evoo, it should work just fine! :) Hope this helps!

Nope. This is steel only. Ended up buying two to whip up crepes twice as fast. Initially there's a bit of industrial oil on there that you need to wash off first. It's there to keep it from showing up with any rust. You'll soon develop your own non-stick patina surface. Make sure you care for it properly.

Sorry, I wouldn't have any idea but you could write to the manufacturer at their own website http://www.wilton.com/about/contact/ . Due to the bad rusting problem I had with mine, I would say it may not be appropriate for humans OR birds! : - (

Since the description nor my packaging say stainless, I assume it is some unknown metal that is chrome-plated. It cannot be made out of 100% chrome. Chrome is not strong enough and is only used in coatings.

They will all eventually rust like original style because all that they made stainless now is the new decorative sides. The rack looks like the same old chrome plating and the box says it's rust resistant (only). Beware of the false advertising above, it's not what it appears to be!

I'm GUESSING that it's aluminum, but it definitely is not tin since it hasn't rusted. I'm also guessing that the purpose is for the top (the blue part) to have a flat surface to rest on. I highly recommend this product. Just be sure not to overfill the cavities and let them freeze a bit before inserting the sticks. That way you'll be avoiding the floating stick or sideways-stick issues.

No Sorry don't remember what they are made of. Would be very expensive if sterling. But they do NOT rust or get spots etc on them. Very nice for projects well worth buying.

Its not going to be durable enough. Stainless needs to be in contact with air to be free of rust.I would try a silicone wax first like nufinish. Its inexpensive. Some types of stainless dont like to be underwater for days or weeks because of the carbon content of SS. Wax will help. Good luck.

I haven't had rust on mine. I have had problems with some sort of black grease rolling out onto my fondant. Could have been a nice rolling pin if that hadn't happened.
