Most forms of stainless steel are subject to acid corrosion. As a tomato product, ketchup is acidic and probably should not be stored in stainless steel. Ketchup is usually stored in glass or plastic containers, which are usually less costly than stainless steel, so there is no reason to consider using stainless steel except in bulk manufacturing situations.
Difference between carbon steel and stainless steel knives?
It depends on the type of stainless steel you are referring to. Austenite and ferritic stainless is not heat treatable in which case carbon steel could be made far harder. However..martensitic stainless steels are heat treatable in which case they could be made harder depending on the alloy contents. Generally the more carbon a steel contains, the harder it can be made. Chromium; a key ingrediant in stainless steels, can also increase hardenability.
How much does a gram of stainless steel cost?
Stainless steel is not actually a type of metal, but the name for a group of metals that share similar characteristics. Essentially any steel with a minimum of 10% chromium The correct name for stainless steel is "corrosion resistant steel" it can be marked by rusting in specific circumstances, it gets its name because it just "Stains less". Different grades of stainless steel (the grade describes exactly which metals, and in what quantities, they add into the mix when they initially make the metal) are used for specific purposes: * There is a grade of stainless used in maritime applications that resists attack by sea water. * There is a grade of stainless steel known as '440 stainless' originally developed specifically to make scalpel blades for surgeons, whilst difficult to sharpen by hand, this has an ability to hold its edge, and is often used in general knife making. * There are other grades used for general medical purposes, for making tools, bowls etc, these are great, as they can be used, cleaned, heated up to kill all bacteria, then packaged up ready for use the next time in sterile wrappings. * The chemical industry uses a lot of stainless steel, that can do things like withstand acid attacks or take superheated liquids. * The food industry also uses a lot of stainless steel in the manufacture of its products, again its ability to be cleaned down is of great use here. * The list goes on, stainless steel pans in the home, stainless steel nuts and bolts in your car etc etc So with all these different grades of stainless steel, which specific grade do you want a price on? some of the stainless steels are relatively inexpensive, yet others are extremely expensive.

Stainless steel is better than other metals because they do not stain, rust, chip or their color fades. They are more expensive than other grills but lasts so much longer.
Why is stainless steel so important?
An alloy is when there are more than one elemnet present. So pure iron is not an alloy. If carbon is added to the iron that makes steel. If Chromium and Nickel are added that makes a grade of Austenitic Stainless steel which is thus an alloy not an element.

Are Stainless steel cokware with cooper bottam is better?
Copper conducts heat better than stainless steel. If you can afford the copper, go for it. If not, stainless steel will work fine for just about anything. Also, bare stainless conducts heat much better than non-stick. So for browning food, non-stick pans should be avoided (and copper bottom bare pans would be best).
