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 Kevin "Billy" wrote in message ...

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! TTUL Gary
