I've come into this one late and sorry if it's been answered. I have spent hours arguing with a cutlery manufacturer about ferros metals. Stainless steel (especially 18/10) should NOT be magnetic reactive. If stainless steel reacts to a magnet then it's not stainless steel.
We had issues with our cutlery going rusty in a brand new dishwasher that has not been contaminated with anything brass or iron - when we sent the cutlery to the scientists at our friendly dishwasher detergent manufacturer they did some massive tests but the first one they did was to put a magnet to it and it stuck. ... not stainless steel.

Some kinds of stainless steel will stick to magnets. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
