This product says it's porcelain coated, but it does not look like it in the picture. So my question is, is it porcelain coated, hence rust resistant?

I couldn't tell if it was porcelain coated. It has rusted in several places.

I believe it is and is holding up quite well for us. Cooks great and gives a great sear on the meat.

Yes. It is porcelain coated and therefore resistant to rusting. Good car must still be taken with it, or the porcelain coating can crack and peel.

Rashid: The grill is coated in a somewhat rough porcelain finish almost like a powder coat. My grill has not rusted at all and its outside all the time and just has a canvas grill cover on it when not in use. I really like the way this grill works (cooks).

not rustic, whatever that means, but it will not rust because it is non-ferrous metal.It will turn gray with patina finish.

Stainless steel doesn't rust. I previously owned a Demi enamel which had some type of corrosion on the inside. I contacted Le Creuset, but I had to ship it back to them so they could determine the cause of the damage, and I decided it was too big of a hassle

These pans are made of a porcelain and so far, I see no rust anywhere. Then again, they are black so maybe rust wouldn't show. But I'll never buy any other drip pans again.

There is coating. You have to scrub it but won't help eliminate completely. I don't season it. You don't have to clean it after use, otherwise it easily got rusted .

It won't rust, but if you leave it wet in your sink, you'll get a few spots that will polish right out. I would call it stain-resistant.

The inside is a black coated I'm thinking porcelain. It is not too thick but I don't think it will rust i haven't had mine for too long but seems to be sturdy for the size it is.

i don't know if it is rust proof. Looks like stainless steel to me. Mine has been installed for about 4 month and still looks great.

Strangely, the documentation that came with it says, "Stainless Steel Finish". What's the difference between that and plain "Stainless Steel"? It's made in China, so who knows? Whatever it is, I've had it for a month with absolutely no signs of rust.

this is what I purchased --it fits fine------------------the porcelain has deteriorated & some rust is on the grates---we use aluminum foil

I've had mine for over a month and have not oiled it. No sign of rust. I emailed the seller and he indicated it was stainless steel and wouldn't rust. I don't have any enamel coated stoneware so cannot answer as to whether it would scratch it. I have used it on glass pans without scratches. Hope this helps!

Not sure if it is or not. What I ended up doing before I used it was clear coat it with clear lacquer. It's been a few months and it hasn't rusted or shown signs that it will.

It's just a guess.....we bought the gray model, never used it and found storing it in the garage to be a burden. Sold it to a co-worker and found that the finish on the gray looked splotchy, as if it had a chemical substance spilled on it. My guess is that it was a natural phenomena and a black version would not show that. It wasn't rust; more like oxidation?

Yes, they're porcelain coated. They don't need seasoning in the same way that cast iron grids do.

Yes it rusts just like all cast iron products... A little steel wool and it actually gives it a nice patina.

I gave it as a gift. They say it has some sort of enamel like coating. Not sure what but they aren't concerned it is going to rust out or anything. Don't know if that helps- but they say they love it.
