Hello,

I just bought my wife an electric roaster from Home Depot. It is a Betty Crocker
22 qt.

It seems to work fine. The first time she used it the inside of the lid rusted.
It is just a small amount of surface rust near some vent holes. I believe I can
remove the rust and coat the lid with oil but I am afraid the vent hole will
allow the rust to spread and wreak havoc on the external finish.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is this normal?

Does anyone know of a 22 qt or larger Stainless one?

Thanks in advance.

Rusting appliances isn't normal or acceptable. I would take it back for a
refund.

I don't know about the Betty Crocker, but most electric roaster lids are
made of aluminum, not any type of steel. Aluminum doesn't rust.

Hi,

This one is steel. It holds a magnet and rusts. ;-)

We took it back and got another one. We will treat it with oil before using.

If I could find another 22 qt, I'd swap it out for another brand.

There are lots of 18 quart roasters out there and most have aluminum
covers. I've never seen a 24 quart roaster. Sorry...

I just noticed that brand at HD last week. Some roaster come with glass
lids. I'm sure I have seen them at Costco in some form. Many have buffet
inserts available. I recall seeing a nice one at HSN.com at one time, but I
can't find it there now.
