Why is stainless steel called stainless steel if it can be stained?
Because it stains less easier than regular steel. It's not 'stain proof', it's just more resistant to staining and rusting. Think of it as stain less.
What are stain less steel utensils made of?
Stainless steel is a steal alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium.

How do you remove tarnish from stainless steel?
It is far less likely to stain than normal steel, but it can in certain conditions.
What makes stainless steel and steel different?
Steel is simply iron with a small percentage of carbon. It oxidizes (rusts) easily. Stainless steel has added chromium, but also may contain any of the following: nickel, niobium, molybdenum, or titanium. Stainlees steels form a very thin layer of chromium oxide on the surface which protects it from further oxidation. While stainless is not stain-proof, it does stain less than carbon steel. Most stainless steels are non-magnetic, or very weakly magnetic.
What is the difference of steel and stainless steel?
Stainless steel in metallurgical definition is a steel that contains ~14% or more Chromium. Other alloying elements such as Nickel can also improve steel's stain resistance properties. The amount of free Chromium, i.e. not tied up in carbides determines steel's stain resistance ability. Higher carbon content leaves less free Chromium in the alloy, which explains why some of the high end stainless steels with more % of Chromium are less stain resistant than lower grade stainless steels with less Chromium and Carbon. However, given time and conditions all steels will rust. For more information on alloying elements effects on the steel see the related links.
Why do you use stainless steel in kitchen sinks?
Stainless steel is an alloy that contains both nickel and chromium. Both of these metals are naturally stain and rust resistant.
What is chromium worth?
Chromium is very important metal used in preparing stain less steel from iron.
