∙ 13y agoThere is RUSTED, and RUSTY. Rusted would be deep pits, holes, etc. Rusty would be a thin layer of superficial rust. Deeply rusted surfaces may need wire brushing (use safety glasses). Lighter surface rusting may be controlled by use of grease- warm stove, newspaper, and shortening. Make a large ball of paper, dab it in the shortening, rub the stove, then buff with a second ball of newspaper. Stove BLACKING (available from hardware stores) can help prevent rusting. High temperature paint is also available (made for charcoal grills)
