Question from IJ
Hi Debra,
I notice none of the comments were about surgical steel. how about some information on surgical steel cook ware.
Thank you.
Debra’s Answer
First I had to research the difference between stainless steel and surgical stainless steel. There is a difference. Surgical stainless steel (or “surgical steel”) is stainless steel with the addition of molybdenum to prevent specific forms of corrosion and help maintain the cutting edge. It is used in the manufacture and handling of food and pharmaceutical products where it is often required in order to minimize metallic contamination.
There is cookware made from surgical stainless steel and this would be safer than ordinary stainless steel if you want stainless steel cookware. There are many available. Simply type “surgical steel cookware” in your favorite search engine to find them.
