I read somewhere when I was researching nickel that the base metal
under silver plate is often nickel.
I got rid of my SS pots and pans and bowls and utensils that would not
attract a magnet.. Nickel is not magnetic so one way to test for high
nickel content. I find all new stainless steel products I've magnet
tested to be 100% non-magnetic.
Uh, there are four magnetic materials. Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, and
Chrome. Take a Canadian nickel, which is near 100% nickel, and a magnet
will pick it up fine. Mix copper with it, such as done in the us
nickel, and it loses it magnetic properties.
Most of my stainless flatware is very old, and is magnetic (attracts a
magnet). I got rid also of all my stainless knives and got carbon
steel instead.
Once eliminating as much nickel as possible, I became much less
reactive to other allergies I have. They aren't gone, but gradually
they bothered me less.

The magnetic properties of stainless steel is no indication of the level
of nickel. You have to find out what alloy it is (it is often put on
the packaging), and look it up.

I started using some old silver plate to eat from- I have a nickle
allergy, and it had never occured to me that maybe I should not be
eating from stainless steel, with it's nickel content. Well, I
noticed last night that on one fork, the silver has worn off the back
of the fork, and the metal is yellow. Anyone know what it might be?
Bronze would be ok, but brass would not.
