Rust in stainless steel - does it happen?

Citizens, I'm upset.
I have had a Bosch TWK1201N all-metal kettle for many years.

There is not a single plastic figurine inside the bowl!
And the other day a rusty dot was found inside the kettle. What is this? Why is that?
Can stainless steel rust? Or is it a poor quality alloy? The same ferritic steel you can't store food in Silly Questions # 144? (I checked that the magnet on the teapot holds great!)

P.S. True, literally before NG, something happened with the voltage in the network, I did not immediately understand. In the morning I got up, turned on the light, put the kettle on, turned on the washing machine, but she didn't erase something, the display gave an error code, looked at the translation: "Insufficient voltage". I ran to the kitchen, turned off the kettle, did not have time, he issued some kind of internal chpok and passed out himself. When the problem was resolved, all electrical appliances worked properly, including the kettle. But after 2 weeks this rusty point appeared.

P.P.S. I love him dearly, I want the same, because teapots with an all-metal bulb no longer exist in nature, or I exist, but I don't come across.

all-metal kettle Bosch TWK1201N

I bought one for my dacha. Because of the flask. Used for several months. I would buy a new one if rust appeared. IMHO.
Can't you clean it?

I would buy a new one if rust appeared. IMHO.
Can't you clean it?

Without options, I'll buy the same, if I don't find more models with an all-metal flask.
We tried to wipe it off with all sorts of different things - nope, the rust was in place.

By the way, I remembered, I also have a frying pan from Ikea, supposedly made of stainless steel, there, about a month after the purchase, a couple of spots appeared, I thought at first that it was somehow the food got sealed and would not rub off, but now I was thinking, maybe this too rust has emerged.
Pancake. Disorder...

P.S. Everything, now I will go to the store for stainless steel dishes with a magnet!

Everything, now I will go to the store for stainless steel dishes with a magnet!

a good idea!

Can't you clean it?

you can try

I love him dearly, I want the same, because teapots with an all-metal bulb no longer exist in nature, or I exist, but I don't come across.

Zebra, exist - I have a redmond
Electric kettle
Oops, I just looked at it in the slow cooker. pro - there is no such thing, but there may be other models with an all-metal bulb.
And I wash off the grease on the outside and the rust inside with soda (my rust is not an indicator of quality - it is on everything: on silicone, on glass, on plastic, and on metal)

And the other day a rusty dot was found inside the kettle.

I have a stainless steel. After a couple of months of use, rust appeared in the kettle. And reappears regularly. For a couple of weeks, I once boil water with citric acid in a kettle, rust and scale disappears.

In St. Petersburg, water in general naturally contains a lot of iron, so a reddish coating on everything, on teapots, on the shades of washing machines and PMM, but in comparison with limescale, it is completely safe for technology, well, it is not harmful to health. There is still a lot of iron in the water

By the way, I remembered, I also have a frying pan from Ikea, supposedly made of stainless steel, there, about a month after the purchase, a couple of spots appeared, I thought at first that it was somehow the food got sealed and would not rub off, but now I was thinking, maybe this too rust has emerged.
Pancake. Disorder...

In the same IKEA, a spray for cleaning dishes made of stainless steel is sold. I also got specks on the IKEA saucepan and on the knives. I treated them with this spray, then washed them with my hands and put them in the dishwasher for added confidence. The specks are gone.

As they explained to me in the workshop, it is the precipitating salts of water that behave this way. Just clean.
I'm not sure if the phrase is correct, but the essence is clear)

[not harmful to health]

Well not harmful to health... There is still a lot of iron in the water

Well, that's how to say Well, I don't like drinking water like this:



This is rust settling on my water filters

If rust does not dissolve in water, including settling on the walls of teapots, this is no longer useful. This means that such rust (like limestone) settles somewhere in the body, and where - our sores will tell

The most useful iron for the body is found in apples and other fruits. If it is not enough (this will be shown by blood tests), then it is better to take the missing dose with special pills that dissolve in water and do not settle on the walls of the vessels of the body

[Tatyana]

It's rust that settles on my water filters

Tatyana, I have the same flasks every six months, when we change the filters. True, now they have become lighter, apparently, the main pipes have been changed.

[Tanya]

Tanya, we do not have such a sediment, for many years our teapot has just become reddish from the inside, there are no such deposits. Rust in water and "natural" iron are two different things. My kettle has served for 20 years, from the inside it is still the same shiny and smooth, but reddish, I have never cleaned it with anything from the inside, except just with soap and soap occasionally.

Oh, I found another teapot with an all-metal flask - TEFAL KO260130, there is also a stainless steel lid, plastic on top of the flask, the effect of a thermos.


Citizens write that it is convenient, the child will not get burned, but I doubt whether this is good, because you can only determine a hot kettle by opening the lid. It's better to let the child burn his finger than reach for the supposedly cold teapot and scald himself.

By the way, I checked the cutlery with a magnet. On "old, prehistoric" (from grandmother, Soviet) spoons and forks, the magnet does not hold, slips, on those that I bought a few years ago, it keeps very vigorously, you will tear off the figs.

In the same IKEA, a spray for cleaning dishes made of stainless steel is sold. I also got specks on the IKEA saucepan and on the knives. I treated them with this spray, then washed them with my hands and put them in the dishwasher for added confidence. The specks are gone.

I have a stainless steel saucepan (I bought it 15 years ago in some "general store"), and so it never, under any circumstances, did not form any specks, and the magnet does not hold on to it, slips off.

[Luda]

Tanya, we do not have such a sediment, over the years our teapot has just become reddish from the inside, there are no such deposits

Luda, so I have accumulated this rust in one and a half or two years, not immediately Rust and clay "two in one bottle"

[Tanechka]

Tanechka, in St. Petersburg, very soft water, wherever it is, does not give such a sediment, but at the same time it is glandular, well, it's not for nothing that Polyustrovo is prescribed for those who have low hemoglobin, of course it does not flow from the tap, but there is still enough iron. And this is a very big difference with rust. In our washing machine, ten is as good as new, only reddish, I have never used any calgons in my life, ordinary powders and that's it. But in the village, there is iron and other charms of hard water, albeit well water. In PMM, I sprinkle lemon for rinsing by hand

You girls are happy, you have filters for 1.5 years, and every month I change filters in an even worse form at the dacha.

Girls, I certainly understand that rust is not good. But even, I just got stuck after the kind of filters. I even climbed to read about the harm of rust. How critical this is for Peter. Our water has no smell, no metal prikvus, let alone a rusty color, mmm.On the plumbing, rust is visible, unless you wash it for a month, on the tiles in the bath - if it's a year. For food / drink I take water only from the "Barrier" filter jug ​​with an "iron" cassette. When I do not change the filter for a long time, the red layer is erased on its surface with a finger. In the kitchen, in a few years, the silicone gaskets of the multicooker lids become gradually red, the kettle is red inside, although I wash it no more than once every 3 months (but nothing in layers, mmm, does not fall off), as well as a jar of boiled water (I periodically check - sediment no) - also reddishness only on the surface of the walls. Maybe this is within the normal range, given Peter's peculiarities? Buttercup, is this not critical? Otherwise, I’m freaking out and tomorrow I’ll run water samples somewhere to take for examination.

Although I will be glad if someone shares what filters they use.

And about Polyustrovo - this is really healing mineral water, and I remember from my childhood (I also lived not far from the production) - Pepsi Cola was bottled in the Polyustrovo Union, when I already tried the "original" - it did not "stand next" to ours.

[Mrs. Addams]

Mrs. Addams, I would have acquired a filter long ago. There should be no visible rust in the water within the normal range. Although I have a filter for a long time. I change cartridges for it every six months. There is no scale at all in the kettle. I drink this water from the tap. The filter was presented to me by our customers from work, so I don't know which company. There is a 10 liter tank and 3 purification cartridges, 1 membrane, 1 mineralizer and 1 don’t remember what it’s called. But for a long time I have been buying cartridges for it Aquaphor or any other suitable.

And to insist something 10 minutes or hours?

minutes, but we just mix it in yogurt and eat in 5 minutes.

Although I will be glad if someone shares what filters they use.

We have a filter theme Drinking water purifiers

[Arinochka]

Maybe this is within the normal range, given Peter's peculiarities? Buttercup, is this not critical? Otherwise, I’m freaking out and tomorrow I’ll run water samples somewhere to take for examination.

Arinochka, our water is not at all the same, we do not have such filters as Tanya-Admin, in Moscow there is hard water, we have soft water, and iron is not rust in water, these are different things. With soft St. Petersburg water, it's time to think about water mineralization, and not about softening it, we have chlorine filters, etc., and we don't have such deposits on them

[Luda]

We don't have such filters as Tanya-Admin, in Moscow there is hard water, we have soft water, and iron is not rust in water, these are two different things.

Luda, just if necessary, it would be good to get to know each other, find information about the filters themselves (and there are many of them on sale exactly five-stage) and a set of filters for them, they are also different and you can put the ones you need for your water. To do this, you need and can do an analysis of water from your well tap.
And I keep in touch with him, he periodically comes to change my filters and knows exactly which ones to set.
On this subject, I consulted with the filter manager, and chose exactly those that are needed for our Dmitrov water.
I also want to add that the nature of the water is very different even within a small scale of the area. For example, in Dmitrov we have a lot of iron and calcium-limestone. And nearby in the city, just a few tens of kilometers away, the water content is iron, limestone, fluoride - people there suffer from excessive fluoridation of the teeth, rotten and yellow teeth.

No, I do not impose on anyone the installation of water filters, I do not advertise anything at all - I got into a conversation about this and am writing what I know about it myself, because I was interested in this info
Be healthy everyone

[Tanechka]

Tanechka, so I'm not talking about filters, I'm talking about water, we really have different water in different areas, but always very soft, when I got married and moved to my apartment in another area, I immediately felt the difference, but the water remained soft.We do not have limescale (gray) deposits on the taps, on the sink and on the toilet, if the toilet leaks, then an orange strip forms and that's it, no lime stones and deposits. It is much easier for me to wash all the plumbing in the city than in the village, in the city I wiped everything with a microfiber cloth and everything, and in the village I have to use a lemon, so that it would be more environmentally friendly, I don't use vigorous chemistry.
For that, tea in the city, on filtered water, is not very tasty, but in the village - a completely different taste - the water is harder - the tea tastes better, the coffee is all the opposite
