Is Stainless steel the common type of pot and pan used because it is nonreactive?

Yes: Stainless steel is commonly used for cooking vessels because it is nonreactive with all foods. (This is not the same as being "nonreactive" generally.) Enameled cast iron, glass, and glazed clay vessels are also nonreactive in this sense, but are brittle and thus more easily damaged than stainless steel.

What is steel corrosion resistance?
whichever substance that neutralises or reacts with chromic oxide will corrode stainless steel. search for chemical properties of chromic oxide. stainless steel is considered as a "corrosion resistant alloy" that means that is more resistant than the common steel to corrosion. a typical corrosion reaction is when stainless steel is incontact with fluid that contains chlorides, like seawater, and small pit are produced.
