Will a magnet stick to these torches (or the poles)? Just trying to determine if they are decent quality stainless steel.

Yes, it does! Just tried and it worked. Mine have been outside for 9 months now and there's no sign of rust of corrosion. Plus, they burn for hours. Great quality!

Yes, a magnets sticks to the body of the torches and to the poles.Other than this, I can't speak to the quality of the stainless steel. FYI--I had the same concern as you did, and in the final analysis this items seemed the best bet for stainless steel. During my research, I contacted numerous manufacturers and requested info about the rating of the stainless steel used in their torches--not a single manufacturer answered. Those that I reached by the phone simply 'did not know'.

If the nickel content of the panel is too high, magnetic objects won't stick. However, that being said, even if magnets can be attached, even a very strong magnet wouldn't be strong enough to hold your utensils.

I haven't come across anything that put the strength of these picks to the test yet... I have pride and scraped very hard with the 90 degree pick and it didn't bend or twist in the plastic handle but I didn't push it that hard because I got the job done to my satisfaction. They are chromed but what they are made of I couldn't tell you. I do know they have some iron in them because they stay put on my magnate bar, so no they aren't stainless. Hope that helps some.

will a average refrigerator magnet stick to your painted metal vent? Its about the same

They do stick to metal and probably stick to anything with their sticky backing. They ARE magnetic.

Normally, magnets don't stick to aluminum. Only specific alumninum alloys, which are for specific design, have any magnetic attraction. You will need steel trays for this wonderful idea.

Well, I checked and the magnet barely has any pull. I looked it up though and apparently this is still normal and doesn't mean it's not stainless steel. Here's a reliable source of info on it. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-dont-magnets-work-on/

Good Morning, I tried it and no, the magnet does not stick to the measuring cup. Good test - did you know magnet's won't stick to good quality stainless steel - my son just informed me. Really like these cups and think I will send for second set - they're worth the cost - I've tried many sets - these far surpass. Have a great day!

The magnets are supper strong and will attach to any flat steel surface. If it's a kettle grill it might be a problem. I don't leave mine outside with the grill and have had it for years

The magnets are fairly good if the spoons are all nestled together. I keep them on my oven. But if I take a couple of spoons out to measure with, then they don't stick very well.

I think they are polished stainless...magnets don't stick. Nice strong pieces.

No my refrigerator magnets do not stick. The stainless is really good quality and shiny. The handle could get too hot especially if near the burner-I usually use a pot holder to be safe but have used it without and it didn't feel hot- I think it depends what you cook in it- Very versatile- FYI I use it mainly as a water pitcher to fill my water dispenser and to mix and pour pancakes in it- only use it to cook in when all my cast-iron enameled pots are in use.. Hope this helps!

Any thing that a magnet will stick too. copper clad stainless will not work.

...hi Vicki...I have only used it on a campstove - but would feel comfortable using it on a stove top induction type heating element - it is a solid stainless unit. As to holding a magnet - never tried doing that.

I'm pretty sure the strip is aluminum, so if it is, magnets will not stick. I'll check mine to see tomorrow.

Although these are stainless steel they do not work on my induction hob, possibly because of aluminum inside the base. The magnet still sticks to the bottom! Pans returned.

Hi, The real question is do magnets stick to your fridge. A lot of Stainless fridges are not magnetic. We have a stainless dishwasher and a stainless fridge - they stick to the dishwasher fine but only on the painted side of the fridge - not on the stainless part of it. It just depends on the steel they use. High grade steel is usually not magnetic.
