Tell Ron that he made the same mistake that you, Alan Browne, made earlier this A.M.! I wonder if he'll also then acknowledge his mistake in a followup reply while making a show of how much he *really* knows about the magnetic properties of stainless steel, as you did? |

I'd be surprised if anyone posting in this thread doesn't have in their house a magnet and both kinds of stainless steel. The standard of empirical enquiry in this newsgroup is very disappointing. And everyone posting here has trivially easy access to google. The standard of research is pretty disappointing too. No wonder so many are puzzled by their cameras :-) -- Chris Malcolm |

Your family life revolves around the fridge - there are messages, calendars, sentimental trinkets, witty sayings, obscene little trolls (why did I think of that?), dreamcatchers, reminders, ads for essential services like Jeff's AirCon Regas, all safe and secure with their little magnetized backs.... Then one fateful day, you decide to upgrade to the latest SS fridge, and then invite all of the family to an event where it gets installed and all of the above gets transferred. Imagine your embarrassment.. ...no? Well, I tried. |

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? |

And everyone posting here has trivially easy access to google. The standard of research is pretty disappointing too. 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.... 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'? 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. |

Is there any labeling requirement? It's not the lack of iron that makes stainless steel non-magnetic. It's the way that it's heat-treated as well as the other metals that are added. From what I've read (I guess you missed the quotes and links) after the steel is heated to make it non-magnetic, nickel is added to (among other things) keep it non-magnetic after it cools. Here are the links I posted : http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae546.cfm http://www.supremesteel.co.nz/articl...l_magnetic.php |
