The higher the nickle and chrome content, the more it costs, the less it
rusts , the harder it is to put an edge on it and the less a magnet sticks
Cheap and/or hard sticky stainless....will rust and stain...very slowly.
It doesn't have the same silver look 'luster' as the high alloys, more like
the steel sink.
Since it doesn't rust, is virtually chemically inert, there just isn't
much of it in the alloys and stainless is VERY tough abrasion resistant
stuff, it's not likely that very much chrome or nickel is escaping the
crystal lattice structure of the steel in any case and exposure to these
metals over a period of time is probably many times higher in soil, food
and air than in foods eaten by flatware or boiled in a stainless pot.
Without some trace chromium, you won't be healthy.

I don't get the part about the flatware? Is it better if it DOESN'T
stick? - I took a bunch of it out of the drawer yesterday- none of the
"good" set sticks except for the actual knife blades, then the cheap
odds and ends that I had in drawer most stuck real good to the magnet.

Subject: Re: CS>silver plated flatware
Thank you everyone for all the info- looks like I should switch from
my stainless pots n pans. But I use gas- I thought I could not cook
with my corningware on the stove top. I mostly use my cast iron for
frying (I love my cast iron), but the revere pots for steaming.
I will dig out the silverware box from my stainless flatware and see if
it is 300 or 400 series.
