I saw this on TV last week. Not sure if it was Cool Tools or not - it
wasn't exactly an infomercial, but it was certainly one of those
crossover segments where it ends up being nothing more than an
extended commercial in the middle of a regular show, using the show's
host and format as the backdrop. I hate it when they do that.

But I digress...

Turn your current appliances into stainless steel, magnetic and all.

I wouldn't mind seeing the results of this product, bu I'm sure not
going to try it myself!

I don't understand the fad of the stainless appliances anyway.....
Stainless is a bitch to keep clean. Ask any janitorial service person about
drinking fountains.

I'll agree with you on the polished stuff, but the newer stuff is
textured and doesn't show fingerprints and such.

Incidentally, true stainless is infact non magnetic. True stainless has no
iron in it. So if it's got iron in it, it's not much of a stainless steel.

no iron? it wouldn't be steel if it had no iron in it. it's the addition of
trace elements to iron that makes it stainless.
