Can someone check to see if a magnet sticks easily to inside and outside of container? that's a good way to tell if its quality/real stainless steel.

No. This product seems to be made of a good grade of stainless steel. I can tell it has a high nickle content because it is non magnetic. You may see some tiny rust flecks or spots over time as all stainless rusts a little, but they are very easy to remove. If you've ever had a stainless steel sink, its about the same. Ours gets soaked every day and we are pleased with its corrosion resistance.

no as long a it quality stainless and simplehuman use quality stainless steel a good way to test stainless steel is with a magnet and with the exception of cookware stainless should be non magnetic

It appears to be non-magnetic so therfore it must be some stainless content. Works great!

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/

I would have to go home and check to answer for sure on this particular item. However the magnetic properties depend on the grade of stainless. High grade no attraction lower grade some but not like regular metal. If you still need the answer on this particular pan ask me again. I will check when i go home tonight and know for sure.

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.

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

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.

good stainless is NOT magnetic, nor is ceramic. Some cheap SSTL is magnetic, so contact the mfgr.

I tested my two colanders with a magnet. It was non-reactive but I don't know whether that confirms SURGICAL steel or not.

The magnet is incredibly strong, it will surprise you. It won't have a problem sticking to the fridge as long as you don't have a stainless steel fridge in which case no magnets will stick to it.

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.

That's a good question, I don't know; but it seems like it is. It seems like it's stainless steel inside. If you don't like it, you can always return it back to them.

I looked at the bottom of my container to see if it was imprinted with "Stainless Steel" which it is not, but I do believe it is stainless. It is a rugged construction and has shown no signs of rust or staining yet for me.

I do not know; I gave this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas! I have a different brand from this one and I tried it; it is not magnetic. My husband informed me the higher grade stainless steel the less magnetic it will be. Sorry I could not be more help.

its not about the brand. It has to be real steel. Try a magnet on it. If magnet stays, its not steel, don't use it.
