Ed, some stainless steel is slightly magnetic. The best way to tell stainless from aluminum is to rub it with Scotch-brite or rubbing compound. Aluminum will brighten up immediately but stainless takes quite a bit of rubbing. Also, aluminum when rubbed leaves a black residue on the rag, but stainless will not.
