Stainless steel cookware typically lasts for many years, often up to 10-20 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance.
Stainless steel pans typically last for many years, often up to 10-20 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance.
Revere copper-clad stainless has a good reputation. Buy the copper clad, not the "budget" all stainless. Treat it well and it will last many years.
Farberware and stainless steel are among the most durable types of cookware available. They last for many years and are able to withstand being used heavily without being damaged.
Stainless steel, preferably copper-clad stainless steel, should last a lifetime if properly cared for. Aluminum is fine for those on a budget, as long as you remember that it is a soft metal and treat it accordingly. In addition, aluminum should not be used to cook alkaline foods.
The best type of cookware to use on a gas top range would be a hard-anodized cookware set. The hard anodized cookware is better for heat distribution and doesnÍt show burn marking from the gas range.
Stainless steel would last you much longer than aluminum. Aluminum is not as dense as steel, and may not last as long.
Because it's relatively cheap, and light. Most electric kettles these days are however, made from plastic or stainless steel as they last longer (aluminium is attacked by the salt in many water supplies). Aluminium has also been implicated in Alzheimer's Disease which is why stainless steel is much more common in cookware these days.
The life span of stainless steel depends on the type of stainless steel, the environment it is located, and the surface treatment. There is micro-pitting that will occur with out effecting the structural integrity of the steel but will tarnish the 'stainless' appearance. If the environment is free of heavy moisture and corrosive chemicals 316 stainless steel will last 1200 years with out significant decay.
There are steel horses over Vantage, Washington (Grandfather releases the ponies) that are expected to last 50,000 years. Stainless steel might last even longer, depending upon the grade. Stainless steel encased in a thick, airtight glass case should last practically forever. Stainless steel wire dragging behind a tractor trailer on a northern deiced coastal freeway, however, might only survive a few days.
Screws hold better, but stainless steel nails last longer. Why not use stainless steel screws? They're the best of both worlds.
Stainless steel exhausts are expensive but last a long time; they do not rust away like regular steel exhausts. Stainless steel exhausts are populat on custom, prestige and kit cars. A good staimless exhaust will last the lifetime of a car and never need replacing. It will, however discolour form the heat!
not long, but a while. it can rust.
