Is stainless steel magnetic?
Stainless steel can be magnetic depending on the ratio of iron used in it. Most food grade stainless steel surfaces are made from Austenitic stainless steel, which contains no iron, and so is not magnetic. However, most stainless steel knives contain iron, are magnetic, and can rust.
