What is Stainless Steel Cookware Market?
Steel is an alloy (i.e. mixture) of mainly iron combined with up to 1.7 weight% carbon. Steel is much stronger than a regular iron, but it can rust and corrode. To make it resistant to rust and corrosion, it is combined with chrome and other elements to make stainless steel. In its simplest form, stainless steel is a steel alloy with 10.5 weight% or more chromium. Chromium makes stainless steel "passive" (i.e., non-reactive) by combining with oxygen, thus immediately forming a layer of chromium oxide that thereby prevents the process of oxidation (i.e. rusting) of the iron that is present in the stainless steel. By far stainless steel is most commonly used in cookware. The two most popular types of stainless steel are 18/10 and 18/8, which are part of the 304 series. You may have seen these numbers stamped on stainless steel cookware and wondered what they are. Let's explain what these mean. The first number refers to the amount of chromium present and the second to the amount of nickel. For example, 18/10 stainless steel is made up of 18% chrome and 10% nickel. Stainless steel cookware is widely recognized as a safe material for cookware.
