AC is too expensive to leaving running all the time, and as a result, my windows are always open to allow air flow through my house. How can I prevent household items (pots, pans, anything that can rust) from rusting?

I do not know where you live where you can leave the windows open all the time. I have to assume perhaps the islands. I live on the ocean and battle the salt daily. The windows are always closed with the air running. Just keeping the outside free from rust is enough and almost impossible.
Everything that you buy for your home must be stainless steal or aluminum. Any other metals when exposed to the salt air will corrode. That is science. Even my ocean grade hardware is pitted and all power coated aluminum fixtures are pealing. We replace items constantly and are always washing down the house. Even the landscape gets burned from the salt.
Buy only items that will not rust and those that already exist, wash them down as often as possible.

They say that experienced Harley Riders coat there bikes with Petroleum Jelly before they go out for a ride in the rain or to store there bikes as well
I have done it to an out door shower that costs $2500 (head and faucet) it works well

The only way I know of is oil (like gun oil) or rustoleum paint. But it would work for any other metal objects.
You probably wouldn't want to use either on pots/pans though...

There are some anti-rust solutions and sprays that are sold at the supermarket!I think that might help.
