There is no inherent property of steel that causes it to melt ice. Ice will melt if it comes in contact with something that is warm enough to melt it, regardless of what it is made of. One possible advantage that steel has is that, like any metal, it is a good conductor of heat. This would allow it to transfer heat more quickly than a nonmetallic substance.

How does vinegar help to melt ice effectively?

Vinegar helps to melt ice effectively by lowering the freezing point of water. This means that when vinegar is applied to ice, it causes the ice to melt faster than it would if left alone. Additionally, the acidity of vinegar helps to break down the ice, making it easier to remove.
