I've always thought that stainless steel
was impervious to corrosion.

Recently, I was gifted with an engraved "hip flask".
On the bottom, stamped "Stainless Steel"
right next to the "Made in China " imprint.

The enclosed papers warn;
"DO NOT store any liquids in this container
for more than four days ! After that, drain, and rinse."

What aren't they telling me ?

I don't intend to work thru a flask of brandy every four days......

Stainless steel ??


Hi RJ.... yes propably SS but a lower GRADE of SS that's why it will
corrode.... A Lot of stainless BBQ have hit the markert out there and people
are finding that they rust also... again...poor GRADE of stainless... The
better business bureau or who ever makes up the rules for selling stuff like
that should be made to stamp the grade of stainless you are buying... Jim
