Q. What makes food-grade stainless steel so special?

Answer

Food-grade stainless steel is unique not only for its ability to endure severe temperatures but also for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitization. The electropolishing procedure and the metal's protective oxide layer contribute to the ease of sanitization. The electropolishing procedure removes the stainless steel's outer coating, leaving a microscopically flawless surface. In most cases, type 304 and 316 stainless steel are the best options for food-grade stainless steel.
