As it's a kitchen, remember to passive the clean steel after
finishing it, otherwise you'll get staining. Use a solution of citric
acid (homebrew shop) and Google.


A Google for 'passive stainless steel citric acid kitchen' produced lots
of industrial references: 'Passivation should only be performed by
trained, experienced technicians familiar with the potential hazards
associated with the science. Safety practices must be fully understood
when handling passivation chemicals. Special boots, gloves, aprons and
other safety equipment must be used'. Can just imagine it in the kitchen!

Any chance of an appropriate URL?
