Hmm, well, all the cheap stainless I've seen in recent years is
invariably non-magnetic. I personally seriously question the statement
that stainless steel doesn't leach nickel (and or any other of the alloy
metals). I know that is what is claimed. But I've my own personal
experience to say SS does leach nickel, and that it leaches enough to
cause me problems. One site I was reading on last year, which was
singing the praises of SS and hyping the "dangers" of aluminum cookware
said that anyone with a nickel allergy should avoid using SS at all. And
on a nickel allergy site I read that some people with nickel allergy can
have problems from using hair spray that comes in pressurized cans,
because nickel leaches into the product. I also read the SS industry
site which claims no leaching, chemically inert, etc. However, my
experience says if SS didn't leach nickel, I would not have experienced
such a reduction in my allergy reactions simply from changing my pots
and pans.

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.
