is the whole thing 304stainless steel? does a magnet stick to it anywhere?

It appears to be all stainless, but no I did not stick a magnet to it and I ain't gonna crawl around in the snow to find out.

I have not tested it with the magnet, but I have returned it to Amazon because the mesh section turned out to be shorter than it should have been. Overall length was fine, but the middle section was shorter (and both end sections were longer to compensate for the short middle section). I was afraid that shorter flex section would put an extra stress on exhaust pipes.

it's hard to believe this whole thing (pipes included) is all 304ss. sometimes they just refer to the wire braid as 304 & the rest just plain steel.....

My assumption is yes. I tested it by putting a magnet to it and it would not stick. What grade or quality of stainless steel, I don't know but past models that I have owned would have shown signs of rust starting. No signs at all on this unit. Happy with it.

It is just stainless steel and EVERYTHING sticks to it. I would not buy them again.

Apparently my product is not produced from surgical stainless steel; my magnet will not stick to it. This same magnet does adhere to all my other stainless steel kitchen products.

No, it's not magnetic. Thus, it's probably Series 300 SS. Series 400 SS, knife blades for example, is magnetic.

I couldn't find any information in my booklet that mentioned magnetic-attracting stainless. What I did find is that this cookware is 304 surgical stainless steel. It says that stainless steel is a family of iron-base alloys made up of more than 50 different compositions, and that they are the elite of the world of commonly used alloys. Each member of this family has one thing in common: it contains at least 11-12% chromium. The 304 surgical stainless steel contains about 18% chromium and 8% nickel in addition to the iron. These are direct quotes from the instruction book for waterless cooking. I know this isn't what you asked, but it does tell what the nickel content is. I hope this helps.

18/8 stainless steel is know as "austenitic" steel. Meaning, magnets will not stick to this type of stainless steel, or weakly, at best. If you want more information on this type of stainless steel, just google 18/8 stainless steel and you will gets lots of info.

I cannot answer whether a magnet adheres to the bottom. My guess is yes. I threw this pan in the garbage. This is one of the worst pans I have ever bought.... even though it is by Emerill. I finally bought an Analon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Covered Ultimate pan. So far, it has been wonderful. I think this pan will last a really long time.

Aluminum with a nonstick coating. Magnet won't stick and not a ceramic or plastic.

In most cases, yes. Some stainless steel is non-magnetic. If regular magnets work on your fridge, you're good. The canisters stick to my white-painted steel fridge with no problem/no sliding.

Negative. A magnet will not stick to the bottom, so I'm assuming its aluminum.

I tried a refrigerator magnet and it didn't stick. I think the pan is aluminum. Still working great though.

Yes, it is magnetic, so if you have a stainless steel oven, it won't stick, but you can always put it on the counter, in that case.

I'm not a metal expert, but there are no seams and the whole item appears to be made from the same material. I did a little more checking and could get a magnet to stick to the side of container, but not to the bottom or the lid. This does not mean it is not stainless. Stainless steel with a higher percentage of nickel is a higher quality stainless and will not hold a magnet. I love my container and the inside is not showing any negative effects of the compost being stored inside, so I still recommend and would buy this product again.

Maybe. There are two types of stainless steel - magnetic and non-magnetic. If the stainless steel on your refrigerator is magnetic, then these rare earth magnets will stick. You can test the stainless steel on your refrigerator with any magnet.

The magnet is encased in plastic. It is all one piece. The magnet could hold the weapon and to the steel surface, but when you try to draw the weapon, it may still be attached to the weapon. Possibly a super strong tape or Velcro could be used if you don't want to attach the magnet with the screws. I used double sided tape to mount the magnet in the console of my vehicle and it works well.
