  1. Since stainless steel is a "premium" item it would probably say if it were.  There's a myth that a magnet won't adhere to stainless steel, but if you try it the magnet does stick.

    About the only real (non chemical) test is with water.  Try leaving a drop of water on it over night - or longer if need be. If rust develops it is carbon steel, if not you have stainless.
