What is the difference between stainless steel and aluminum?

Stainless steel and aluminum are almost indistinguishable... That is unless you know that some stainless steel sticks to a magnet.

Also, most stainless steel is non-magnetic, like aluminum. So how to tell the difference then?

The truth is the you can easily distinguish between stainless steel and aluminum by using the metal proporties. So for example if you have many cookware pots and need to know if they are aluminum or stainless, you could try a magnet. If they both are non magnetic, then try making one of them spark.
