Electric Roaster lid is rusting
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. Steve My real email address is dealsgalore[A-T]earthlink.net www.cheap-land.com |

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.

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. |
