Oh, yeah! I too have purchased them as gifts for all the men in the family and no one has had a problem with theirs either so like I said - maybe there was a bad batch?chef_leeanne said:I too have owned mine for what seems like forever. It has also been "abused" like Beth's. Not a speck of rust to be found. I have purchased 5 for my sons and brothers as gifts, who live from one end of the US to the other, and they have had no rust problem either.

It is possible that the barbecue turner was not made of stainless steel, or that it was made of a lower grade of stainless steel. It is also possible that the turner was not properly cleaned and dried after each use, allowing moisture to build up and cause rusting.
The best way to prevent rust and pitting is to make sure your turner is made of high-quality stainless steel and to clean and dry it thoroughly after each use. You can also consider using a protective cover or storing it in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
If the rust and pitting is minimal, you can still use the turner. However, it is not recommended as the rust can transfer onto your food and potentially cause health issues. It is best to replace the turner with a new one.
Oiling your barbecue turner may help prevent rust, but it is not a foolproof method. It is still important to properly clean and dry the turner after each use. Additionally, make sure to use a food-safe oil and avoid using too much, as it can become sticky and attract dirt and debris.
Aside from regular cleaning and drying, you can also periodically check for any loose or damaged parts and replace them as needed. It is also important to use the turner only for its intended purpose, as excessive force or using it on high heat can cause damage. Lastly, store the turner in a cool, dry place to prevent any potential damage from extreme temperatures.
