Stainless steel is not a definite material, and the answer is complicated. Unless you know for sure that the trays are made from high corrosion resistant stainless steel containing sufficient chromium, there is only testing can tell. If you see any sign of rust from salt, vinegar, high temperature steam, whatever, it's probably not the highest quality material. Personally, I'd rather use those SS pans and trays in kitchen. I don't know what kind of restaurant it is, but if you can find a triple mesh extra fine chinois strainer of 10" or larger diameter cheaply, those are the things you want from fine restaurants... or I want, rather... -- Ryuji Suzuki "Keep a good head and always carry a light camera." ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
