Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ray Peat's info states there are two types of stainless steel, magnetic and non-magnetic. The non-magnetic has a very high nickel content which is allegenic and carcinogenic. It is more toxic than iron or aluminium. Use a refrigerator magnet to test your pots and pans. The magnet will stick firmly to the better cookware. Linn > > Are glass pans okay?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Here is something weird. My pans passed the magnet test when I bought them but now after several years of use, they no longer do. What does that mean?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have no idea! I haven't sorted out all the cookware issues yet, too many different theories. Let me know if you find anything out. Linn > > Here is something weird. My pans passed the magnet test when I bought them > but now after several years of use, they no longer do.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I wonder if there is any " better cookware " anymore since nearly all the expensive brands now come from china which only seems to produce high nickel SS. (often called 18/8 SS) That is exactly how I tested my SS, I got rid of everything that was not magnetic. But what puzzles me is that nickel is a magnetic metal, but I think it was explained to me that there are also other non-magnetic metals in the high nickel alloys. sol mwm1glm wrote: > Ray Peat's info states there are two types of stainless steel, magnetic and non-magnetic.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just checked mine. 18/10 made in China. Ugh! I guess I will have to use only my glass.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ACK!!! All my pots are stainless steel. I have had them for almost 20 years. The magnet doesn't stick to them at all.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Does anyone know if Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles are OK to use? I fill these with reverse osmosis filtered water so that I don't have to drink tap water or drink from plastic water bottles. I just tested my Klean Kanteen bottles with a magnet and am disappointed to find out that the magnet did not stick at all.
