Chuckle however not all stainless steel is also going to be rust proof. Most

I think the only stainless that rusts in common use is for saucepans so
that they work on induction hobs.
It appears its quite expensive to make rust proof and magnetic.
Some better pans have three layers so the magnetic stainless is wrapped
in rust proof stainless.

The alloy pans I have have a steel base fitted but they don't work as
well as the three layer stainless ones do. You can boil water quicker in
the better ones so there must be something restricting the power input
on the alloy pans.
