Why would they be doing that? -- Chris Malcolm |

No wonder so many are puzzled by their cameras :-) Well, for over 1500 years it was believed that spiders had six legs because Aristotle (I think) said they were insects, and ALL insects had six legs. Surely someone in all those years actually COUNTED the spider legs.... Of course they did. The problem was that nobody who counted as an authority did :-) At least I got curious and took the 'rare earth' magnetic I keep handy and TESTED to see if the 'stainless steel' cookware my wife bought was magnetic, and found it was not. Now, just HOW can the label something with so little iron in it 'steel'? It contains lots of iron. Of course, anyone who uses stainless steel knows that the name 'stainless' is a misnomer also as it stains quite easily, but rather should be called 'rustless'. But then if you leave the iron out of it, of course it is rustless! Now I understand why it is more expensive than a cast iron pot, it is really nickel, or chromium, both of which are much more expensive. Amazing what one can learn in this newsgroup. It's rather less amazing if you do a bit of checking and discard the nonsense that's so generously offered :-) -- Chris Malcolm |

Their computer screen and keyboard is all that they have for companionship. Then people wonder why they go on and on about things that they know nothing about when it comes to cameras and photography too. They don't own cameras, they only know how to look up just enough on google to perpetuate their foolish arguments, to disrupt the exchange of real information from real photographers who have real experience using real cameras. Get with the program. |

I made the mistake of assuming that stainless steel would always attract magnets and so did others.

If a magnet doesn't stick to it, then it is NOT really stainless steel. More likely brushed aluminum. This might be one of the areas where your wife could teach you a thing or two. Or not. There are many types of stainless steel cookware, and many of them don't work on induction ranges. You are quite right. I just checked our stainless cookware, and it is NOT magnetic. Somehow, I suspect that there is VERY little iron in it. Just how much iron must be in something sold as 'steel'? Is there any labeling requirement? Bang on it with a hammer and it will likely become attractive to magnets in the area you hit... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |
