STAINLESS STEEL UTENSILS
[EIRI/EDPR/1746] J.C. 581
INTRODUCTION
Stainless steel cookware and bake ware is exceptionally durable. Once stainless steel has been stamped, spun or formed into utensil shape, it takes an extremely hard blow to dent it. Its attractive finish won’t corrode or tarnish permanently, and its hard, tough, nonporous surface is resistant to wear. Extremely smooth and scratch resistant, stainless steel utensils take an excellent polish.
Top-of-the-range cookware, bakeware, pantryware, tools and other equipment are frequently produced in stainless steel, which eases the work of homemakers.
Like other steels, stainless steel is an alloy - a combination of iron and other metals. What makes it different from other steels, however, is that it contains at least 11 percent chromium. It is chromium that makes steel “stainless” all the way through.
Stainless steel may also contain other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, columbium or titanium. These materials can contribute special hardness, high temperature resistance, and resistance to scratching and corrosion to the finished stainless steel alloy.
Sometimes you’ll hear a shorthand way of describing stainless steel, such as “18/10” or “18/8”. The first figure indicates the percentage of chromium contained within the stainless. The second number is the percentage of nickel. Nickel is an alloying element used in steel to increase its ductility, or its ability to be formed. Both of these elements are very expensive compared to regular steel, hence the higher costs of stainless steel.
Manufacturing
Stainless steel bakeware utensils are usually fabricated of solid stainless steel. On the other hand, top-of-range stainless steel utensils are generally made by combining stainless with other metals, usually aluminum, copper or carbon steel. The other metals improve the utensil’s heat conductivity. Various manufacturing processes are used to combine stainless steel with these other metals. The resulting combinations are described as two-ply, three ply, three-ply/ bottom clad, five/ply bottom clad and five-ply, seven-ply and even nine-ply, depending on the manufacturer and the desired characteristics of the cookware.
