Comments (2)One thing I've used successfully to clean the grates is a coarse stainless steel pad (Chore Boy brand) with a little water. It won't make the grates shiny bright, but it easily gets any residue off. I wouldn't use this on the sheetmetal, since it would scratch it I'm sure....See MoreMinimizing Leaching of Nickel From Stainless Steel Cookware
Comments (8)@Shawn Hoffman For non-acidic foods, I think stainless is probably okay, but you might want to focus on high-end brands that take out all the surface impurities. The Silvinox treatment by Demeyere is an example of that. Doing some heavy metal testing through a functional medicine doctor now and every few years will help you monitor your status. For acidic sauces, an enamel cast iron dutch oven and braiser are good choices. But the further complication on that is you probably want a white or very light-colored paint, and a newer product, because the older enameled pots test very high in lead on the exterior paints. Paint pigments are often high in lead. Even though these are "sealed" behind the enamel, you still wonder over time as the enamel develops micro-cracks how that might leach out. You can use an enameled cast iron saucepan for everyday cooking, but the heat distribution will never be as good on a cooktop - and especially on an induction cooktop - as a multi-layer stainless design with a thick base....See Morestainless steel patio furniture near the beach?

Comments (12)Cleo07, I like your idea of taking it to a metal fabricator I would rather do that vs have my plumber do it to make sure it's done precisely. And as GreenDesigns suggested, to give it a good chance of not warping. There's a highly rated metal place I found on Yelp within 15 min of my house. I made this PowerPoint slide to bring with me. How should I mark the hole to cut? ex: Dry Erase marker? Electrical Tape?...See More- 11 years ago
