If you have plastic including as an option, select a plastic.

From what I've read, only the highest quality surgical steel will
stand up to sal****er, and not permanently, either.

[Kevin & Donna Sanders, M.D.]

Stainless Steel will rust when exposed to sal****er. Even surgical grade SS
especially if it is the lower quality stuff stamped "made in Pakistan".
That stuff can barely be resterilized without corroding

Hi Rich

Depends on the grade of stainless, anything less than 360 will not
hold up in sal****er.
In any case, your better choice would be to go with the plastic!

High quality or not_surgical steel or even made by NASA or top secret
federal agency, I highly recommend not using it.
