Are these magnetic or non-magnetic stainless steel?

Mine don't stick to the stainless steel frig. Love them because they stay so cold in frozen drinks.

They say they are stainless steel. I've had mine about a year with no rust. I use them alot to trim weeds and grass along the outer border of my garden where the mower won't reach so they are wet alot. Stainless steel will be attracted to a magnet since it is steel.

An easy way to tell if it's REAL stainless steel is to see if it's magnetic. Good stainless is NOT magnetic. There are some variations of SS that are slightly magnetic, but if you can pick it up with a magnet, it's not stainless. Sometimes they advertise as, "Stainless Finish." That is usually not SS, just made to look like it. Of course, there are always exceptions.

These are not induction compatible. The outside is not magnetic stainless steel needed for induction.

stainless steel. Not plastic. I have had them for 2 years. Strong steel fingers hold them on tight. I like them.

If it's magnetic, then it's NOT 18/10 stainless, as the description claims. According to metallurgists, only lesser grades of stainless are magnetic, due to the percentage of chromium,nickel, and molybdenum that makes up 18/10 Stainless Steel.

There are two types of stainless steel. The austenitic type has a different molecular structure than the ferritic type and does not have magnet properties. This pan must be of the austenitic type.

I'm not positive, but upon examining them, they seem like they're stainless. They are holding up well under use.

Stainless steel isn't magnetic. This is a measuring cup, not a cooking cup.

I don't know how the "magnetic test" got started but - A typical composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless, is often used in cutlery and high quality cookware. You will find that this type of stainless steel is Austenitic 316 Series and as such is non-magnetic, therefore the use of a magnet is useless and doesn't really tell you anything. From Wikipedia "Austenite, also known as gamma phase iron (ã-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron"

I dont have anything stainless steel to test them on, but they have stuck to any metal surface that my grandson has used them on. The entire back of the letter is magnetic, unlike most plastic letters that only have tiny cubes of magnets.

No they are not magnetic. They specifically fit in the mechanism which makes them "speak".

Yes, they are solid stainless steel. I was very pleased with the look and feel.

They will stick to my regular refrigerator, but I have not tried stainless steel. I used them for spice jars & stuck them on a mounted cookie sheet.

These are stainless steel. Originally I purchased aluminum and had to discard them.

For those commenting on the pot not being stainless steel because it doesn't work on induction stoves, there are many types of stainless steel that are non-magnetic. In fact, the most common types of stainless steel are non-magnetic. http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae546.cfm
