Does anyone know if this stainless will react with grated parmesan.
I found a ss shaker (yes at a yard sale and for 25 cents) that looks
like it's meant for parmesan cheese. I know it's better to grate your
own, but I haven't gotten that far yet.....lol... tia....Sharon

Didja ever wonder why every pizza parlor/dago restaurant serves grated
cheese in glass/porcelain, never metal... it's the salt.

Lol
I guess that stainless steel wouldn't react with grated parmesan.
Although 18/10 doesn't mean anything: different steel alloys react in
different ways with different chemical compounds (i guess the nastier
are chlorates, though). And 18/10 doesn't tell anything about these things

Some more of Sheldon's nonsense. The salt in the cheese will not
reactt with the stainless. The tops of the shakers Sheldon refers to
are usually stainless steel. This goes quite well with his previous
post that "cast iron and high carbon steel are exactly the same"

Nothing like set of good "cast iron" knives!
