I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.

I'm not sure, I've just got them in January. But I will use steel wool to clean them on occasion of stuck on food without worry of damage. I noticed i need to cook at lower temp for some foods. So far i really like the set.

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!

I haven't used them yet. But, because their stainless steel cook ware I doubt that they will rust.

Elizabeth, I have used stainless steel pots for years, and have never seen any rust. I use regular dishwashing liquid to wash, and just dry and put away.The set I bought was a Christmas present, and my daughter loves them.

I've had the same issues. I thought I took fairly good care of my hibachi, making sure to always give it a good once-over with some oil after it had cooled down somewhat. However, upon looking at it today, I found a fair bit of rust throughout the grill. Did I do something wrong here? Is cooking marinated meats on the grill a no-no?

I have never had a problem with rust, ever, and I put it in the dishwasher (supposedly a real No,No for knives or scissors). If you really do have a problem, I'd do what another respondent suggests about drying it right away and spraying with oil.

Most important thing with CI cookware is keeping them 'seasoned'. An old one, I cleaned itwell, used a steel wool scratchier a few drops of dawn, totally dry, and covered the pot completely with a coat of Crisco. Turn Oven to 350 place rack on the lowest slot, put a heavy piece of foil there Lay the pot/skillet in the oven upside down and 'bake ' for 1 hour. Shut the oven off and leave in there until cool. Now if it really rusty and you cannot remove the rust, Lodge says to take it to a Machine shop and have it sandblasted. Quickly home, wash it with hot water, a scrub brush and 1 drop of Dan, rinse and coast with Crisco and proceed as above. Any questions contact Lodge www.lodgemfg.com or call CS at 423-837-7181. Most important is when done using ..clean it out with hot water dry and coat with Crisco when it is still warm. I stack in the cabinet, using parchment paper liners between each pan/pot. Never use metal tools. Wood plastic or silicone. Did this help??

Have not used the rack yet, just the pan. Pan cleaned up nicely. Believe the rack is stainless steel, but don't quote me on that.LOL

I've had my Lodge covered enameled casserole pan for about 1 year now. I use it about 3 times a week. It has not rusted at all. No rust on the lid. It does have one or two tiny chips on the outside from banging it against something but otherwise so far so good.

I'm not sure. The pan itself is fantastic. I got it for my daughter and she says the clean up is a snap. Wash by hand and don't use metal on it and you should have it for years!

I have done it. I rub it good and rub with a paper towel to season it , stick in a oven and heat it up to season it. I If it gets a spot of rust take the oil and sea salt and rub it good, will remove the rust.

8 months, no rust, they are not the best pans ever made but they are certainly worth the price.

I don't know the origin. I have 3 different pans (different sizes) and they are all similar. If I could find a stainless steel one, I would be happy since the ones I have tend to rust.

I will check for you later. I found this set to be a waste of money. I have a mini toaster oven, pan size is perfect. However, the top broiler pan started to lose it's finish after a few uses. I never used anything abrasive to clean it with. It has now rusted & I just threw it out. I am now using the rack when I broil, but, it is difficult to clean as the food sticks to it. Don't waste your money. Keep shopping. I recently found some of these small pans at bed, bath & beyond. You may want to try those, you might have better luck.

I see some rust creeping onto this thing after just a few uses. It has been kept on my covered porch, so it doesn't get rained on, but it is exposed to dampness. Unfortunately the thing is so hot after cooking that I don't see how I could clean, cover or move it until the next morning.

I wish I could help, but I've only had mine for three years. I can tell you that the inside coating still looks new: nothing sticks to them. The silver on the outside is dis colored....more of a tarnished silver look - but only where my gas flame touches the pan. (I cook 1-3 times daily so they get LOTS of use.) The silver sides and handle are shiny and new looking. I've even purchased more of these pans! (14 inch skillet and the griddle). All in all, three years into my investment and I'm still thrilled with these pans.

probably it rusts because there is no such a thing as stainless steel... and in my experience, new wave enviro will not replace it

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

I purchased the Cooks standard NC-00238 5 ply clad S/S chefs pan 32cm and the cooks standard NC-00247 steamer 32cm purchased 8 mths and use it most days, Rust should never be a problem because it is stainless steel.

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.
