Once you're done washing & drying it, you grease it lightly with margarine or butter and put it away in a cool, dry area face down. I saw my grandmother do this for years, seemed to work.

We have this problem with some of our stuff too.
What you need to do is season your pan with a little bit of oil. If it's easier, you can just use a little bit of no-stick spray, like Pam. Just put a little in the pan, and rub it all over so there is a very thin coating of oil all over the inside. You will need to wash that out when you go to use the pan again, but it is very easy to do. You simply run really hot water in it, and use a tiny bit of soap, and that oil will come right out. Just remember to re-season again before storage.
We have several cast iron dutch ovens, and if they aren't seasoned properly, they always rust after they are cleaned. Doing what I have described above should take care of your problem.
Good luck! I hate a rusty pan, and I am sure you do, too :)

My mom used to take cooking oil and smear on the cast iron baking pans and this was to prevent them from rusting.I sure wish I had those pans now.....She would put them in the oven shelves until further use..Good Luck to you!!!

You must coat it with a light Cooking oil, or just wipe it out before using, they all rust -

Rust? Are you asking why it rusts?
It may need to be oiled after use or it is a cheap one that should be replaced.
